A Singapore Go-Jek driver uploaded a video on Thursday (31 January) on Go-Jek Singapore Community Facebook page that shows a woman rider accusing him of kidnapping her because he took a route that uses Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) gantries.

Driver Kamaruzzaman Bin Abdul Latiff recorded and uploaded the seven-minute video to show the kind of behaviour displayed by riders that some drivers have to endure.

The drive wrote a caption to accompany the video and he said:

After few day of thinking. I guess i better to let it out. Pax accuse me of kidnapping her just bcoz of E.R.P….. i have already make police report & report to gojek. Be care to all phv driver. Blk 251 Bishan St 22 to 1 Coleman St @ 7.10am …..how to avoid ERP? She keep telling that i trying to cheat her. I ask her tell me if she know how to avoid ERP but she cant direct me to where should i go to avoid ERP.

In summary, the video shows that the driver wants to bring the solo female passenger to the police station as she kept saying the driver was out to cheat her money. This is because she insisted that the route she takes “every morning” does not encounter any ERP gantries. But, when he asked her to direct her to the route that she’s familiar with, the rider couldn’t. She then said that the driver knows the way and she doesn’t, which is why he was taking a route that she was not familiar with.

The driver then said he would not take a single cent from the passenger and the passenger insisted on not paying as well. He then told he would report the incident to the police and the Land Transport Authority, and told the woman to do the same.

The woman then got on the phone and accused the driver of being “dangerous”. It is unclear who she spoke to on the phone. Then, the person on the phone told the driver that she had the passenger’s GPS location noted down. The woman on the phone also said that the driver “have no right to take her hostage”.

Once the driver reached a location which he presumed was the police station, the woman started shouting for help and said she had been kidnapped. Then, the driver spoke to a man who appears to be a police officer who was out of the camera’s view. The officer told that the location was not the police station and directed him there.

While the conversation was going on between the men, the woman tried to exit the vehicle but the door was locked and she started shouting, “He lock the door!”

The driver and the police then tried to explain to her the door locks automatically, and the woman ended up shouting: “Is it because I am Chinese?”

Once the video went online, netizens began mocking her for her hysterical behaviour.

Some even went to the extent of doing their own research to find out the identity of the female passenger.

However, other netizens felt that it was not right for people to expose her identity and mock her. They felt everyone makes mistake and they should not bash her too much for this incident.

遗憾遭他人中伤 陈清木赞许毕丹星善举树立榜样

工人党党魁毕丹星宣布会将反对党领袖津贴中的一半拨出来,用在工人党选区的居民和慈善事业上,获得民众和其他在野党同仁的赞许。 不过,总理夫人总理夫人兼淡马锡首席执行长何晶,则在脸书指出“有好些人一路来默默捐钱未公开予众。”(后来她在脸书澄清,自己并非在批评毕丹星的善举并为此致歉,也欢迎任何好人好事。) 至于前官委议员郑恩里,也批评毕丹星试图把他的捐款政治化。 前进党秘书长陈清木医生,对于毕丹星的举动却遭致他人中伤,感到遗憾。 “不管朝野政党,人们始终公开又或者私下捐出善款。与其试图拿些政治分数,倒不如豁达去接受和欢迎这类善举,岂不美哉。” 陈清木也强调,当前艰难时期,倒不如为他人着想,尽自己所能提供协助。 他也认为,毕丹星的举动也为国人树立了榜样。

罪状增至18项、受害者11人 留英大学生申请开庭前出国

就读英国顶尖大学的22岁我国男子,日前被指涉及偷拍女生沐浴和如厕事件。但是在上周五面控时增加了18项控状,而受害者人数也从原本的两人增加到11人,包括两名和他上同一所大学的留学生。 被告曾于去年10月面控,指偷拍两名相识的本地女生沐浴和如厕,但是随后获得法院批准提早启程到英国,办理入学手续和居住事宜。 他当时所面对的两项侮辱女性尊严的控状,是针对他于2015年12月2日凌晨1时30分,假乌节酒店客房的厕所内安装录像机,偷拍一名女子的洗澡过程,还有就是于2016年12月23日晚上8时30分,在东部一公寓单位厕所内安装录像机,偷拍另一名女子如厕。 而上周五新增的18项控状,分别为17项侮辱女性尊严罪名,及一项触犯影片法令罪名。 根据法庭文件指出,他被指于2018年以来一共偷拍了九名女子,多达20段受害者沐浴、如厕和更衣的视频。其中有16段视频是在被告独居的公寓内拍下,且有一名受害者在案发时还未成年。 法官谕令,基于部分受害者是被告的亲友,为了保护他们,媒体不能公开受害者和被告,以及他们就读大学的名字。 面对有关的控状,被告表示都不认罪。 控方反对让被告出国避免逃跑 基于审案日期还未定,被告表示想要在下周返回英国上课,因此向法庭申请出国,却遭到控方反对。两方因此于昨日临时返回国家法院,准备进行陈词后,交由法院决定。 控方指出,警方调查已经结束,控方随时准备进入审讯阶段,并要求被告为自己的罪行负责,不应该次次都让他以学业为由而出国,否则案件将会一拖再拖。 被告代表律师却不认同有关指控,并表示控方没有理由做出反对,一则是审讯日期未定案,而且被告有遵守诺言,在去年出国后于上个月返回我国,没有逃避责任的嫌疑。 律师也表示,被告将会在今年3月回国,不会影响审讯进行。他认为控方不应该将被告的学业和审讯混为一谈,只需在意被告是否有如期回国即可。…
