CityCab driver Mr Lim Beng Teck, 50, had picked up a male passenger along Battery Road at 10am on May 2.
After the passenger alighted at The Central, Mr Lim noticed a black bag in the back seat after driving off.
He then stopped at the Liang Court taxi stand and found 150,000 yuan (S$29,700) in the bag.
Mr Lim could not locate the passenger at The Central and reported the
find to ComfortDelGro’s lost and found department in Sin Ming. The bag
and the money were eventually returned to the rightful owner.
The honest cabby said that if he didn't return it, he would not feel good and his conscience would have "bugged" him.
Read the full story in The New Paper on Tuesday (May 8).
PS:
A good and honest person.
A good news for cabbies.
I believe CDG and Citycab MDT is linked to a fleet management/dispatch system. They can easily trace and track their taxi, this TD did the right thing once he notice the bag. If he have other thought, it will be a hard time to go around it.
ReplyDeleteThat is provided the passenger booked the cab or got video recording of him getting on the cab.
DeleteI think no need for the passenger to book this cab, CDG/Citycab fleet management system is efficient enough. If this is a call booked cab, returning to Lost and Found is the only thing to do.
DeleteThats true.
