‘Don't blame the driver for your selfishness' — Gojek driver slams passenger who gave him a 1-star review
SINGAPORE: After a woman left a negative review, a Gojek driver took to social media, writing, 'Don't blame the driver for your selfishness.'
On the COMPLAINT SINGAPORE Facebook page on Monday morning (May 26), a group member named Ks Law, who drives for Gojek, addressed a female passenger who had left a negative review for him, saying that he had been 'very impolite with his comments.'
On May 24, Mr Law had apparently picked up the woman and her companion after taking a bike ride, leaving them all sweaty and wetting the seats in his vehicle.
'To the female passenger: Yes, in our industry, we have to accept all passengers, but that doesn't mean the next passenger can accept wet, sweaty seats. Don't blame the driver for your selfishness. From the time you got on the bus to the time you got off, I just said the seat was wet, and you said you would clean it for me? Did you really do it? Don't be a third-rate citizen in a world-class country. Isn't our poor service attitude caused by your behavior?' he wrote.
Mr Law also posted a screenshot that showed that the passengers had taken a 12.49-kilometre ride in his vehicle that lasted 38 minutes from East Coast Parkway to Hougang Street. Screenshot
The woman, who gave Mr Law a one-star review, wrote that he 'was very impolite with his comments, such as 'you are very sweaty' and 'you made my seat wet' as my friend and I just finished cycling. I feel that as a driver, he/she has to be prepared to pick up all kinds of customers.'
Many netizens commenting on the post sided with the Gojek driver, saying he had been gracious for even taking on the passengers.
'I wouldn't even pick them in the first place. This driver is so nice and kind already to pick you up despite your smell, and not to mention maybe your dirty bicycle, which dirtied the back boot. This world is becoming unkind, and they just want to complain,' one wrote.
'These kinds of passengers are super selfish,' wrote another.
One simply wrote, 'Driver is right.'
'Yes, sweaty passengers definitely need to be more self-aware. It also says so much about oneself with that self-entitled behaviour,' a commenter chimed in.
Another suggested, 'Just let them get out and then take photos… Bodily fluids can claim cleaning fees… Passenger wanna play, you also must know how to play… Let her get the bill from Gojek, then she will learn…'
The Independent Singapore has contacted Mr Law for further comments or updates. /TISG

Queues at VEP application centres in Singapore, JB after news of enforcement from July 1
Singapore-registered vehicles entering the country from July 1 without a valid VEP will be fined RM300. ST PHOTO: CHONG JUN LIANG Queues at VEP application centres in Singapore, JB after news of enforcement from July 1 SINGAPORE/JOHOR BAHRU – Waves of Singapore motorists showed up at Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) application and installation centres in Singapore and Johor Bahru a day after Malaysia announced that enforcement of the VEP will start on July 1. Singapore-registered vehicles entering the country from that date without a valid VEP will be fined RM300 (S$91), Malaysia's Transport Minister Anthony Loke said on June 4. The drivers will have to pay the fine and complete their VEP registration before leaving Malaysia. On June 5, motorists showed up at VEP centres in Woodlands in Singapore and Danga Bay in Johor Bahru because they needed help with signing up on the online portal or had problems activating their radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. VEP-registered vehicles need to have RFID tags installed and activated in order to make payments for Malaysian expressway tolls and the road charge when entering Johor via the two land checkpoints. The counters in Malaysia are operated by TCSens, Malaysia's ministry-appointed vendor for handling VEP registrations; while the one in Singapore is run by My VEP, a separate company, in collaboration with TCSens. Between 9.30am and 10.30am, around 40 persons were seen queuing outside the My VEP office in Woodlands Industrial Park. They include motorists collecting their VEP RFID tags and those needing help with applications. Those without appointment slots were turned away. Around lunchtime at the TCSens inquiry centre in Danga Bay, more than 60 motorists were seen queuing to seek assistance from staff to troubleshoot their VEP registrations. The centre allows walk-in inquiries. Mr Latiff Saleh, 64, who did not have an appointment, left the Woodlands centre in Singapore without getting any assistance. He needed help to terminate the existing VEP registration of his car, which was tagged to its previous owner, as he was not able to do so online. On hearing the June 4 announcement, he tried to log in to the VEP portal to restart the application process, but faced difficulties. He had not decided whether to try his luck at Danga Bay soon, or wait for the rush in Woodlands to subside before getting an appointment. Inquiries had been decreasing prior to the June 4 announcement, and appointment slots had been available daily since March, said Mr Ng Poh Heng, manager of My VEP. But by the morning of June 5, all the slots until June 20 have been taken up, checks by The Straits Times found. Ms Esther Chua, 50, received her VEP RFID tag earlier in 2025, but found that it could not be fitted to her car as required. The finance executive did not get around to exchanging the tag until after hearing the latest news. 'The Malaysian side seems to keep changing their mind, so I didn't feel the need to get it fixed (so soon),' she said at Woodlands on June 5. The latest move to enforce the VEP comes eight years after the plan was first mooted in 2017. Implementation of the system was shelved twice, in 2019 and again in 2020. It was rolled out in October 2024, but foreign vehicles found without valid VEPs were given reminders to get registered and not fined. At the Danga Bay inquiry centre on June 5, waiting times were long, with motorists saying they began queuing from as early as 6am for the counter to open at 9am. One of the motorists, a 76-year-old Singaporean retiree who wanted to be known only as Mr Chong, said that his VEP application was rejected in October 2024 because it was missing insurance documents. He said he never heard back after he replied with the documents. 'Suddenly, they said they are going to enforce this July. This is very troublesome,' he said, adding that the announcement on June 4 caught him by surprise. Singaporean interior designer Andrew Ho, 44, who arrived in Danga Bay at 9am, waited five hours to get help from TCSens staff. His VEP RFID tag could not be read at the Malaysian customs gantry. A TCSens staff at Danga Bay told ST that by 2.30pm, he had already assisted more than 100 motorists, compared with the daily number of 130 cars that the centre had handled in the past few months. Singaporean interior designer Andrew Ho (right) waited for five hours at the Danga Bay TCSens VEP centre before he was helped by staff (in black). ST PHOTO: HARITH MUSTAFFA Mr Loke told reporters on June 4 that foreign-registered private vehicles have had ample time to be VEP-registered since the call to do so was made in May 2024. The minister added that 231,018 Singapore-registered private individually owned vehicles have signed up for the VEP, with 15 per cent yet to activate the RFID tags. Meanwhile, skip-the-queue VEP services in Singapore are seeing an uptick in inquiries. These services apply for the VEP on the motorists' behalf, saving drivers the hassle of making the online application or queuing at the counters. Mr Derrick Heng, d irector of Radiant VEP, which offers skip-the-queue services, said inquiries have spiked since the latest announcement after getting around 10 queries daily from the beginning of 2025. 'We received about 30 inquiries on June 4, and our office (in Kaki Bukit) was full, with motorists coming in to apply for the permits at the last minute,' he said. Mr Jason Koay, director of accounting and secretarial firm Bizwise Management, which advertises its VEP application assistance service on Carousell, said he helped with 50 applications on June 5, up from a norm of two to three inquiries a day since March. A TCSens spokesman urged Singaporean motorists to register promptly for the VEP via the website, as it is anticipating a surge in applications and appointments at its four centres in Johor Bahru and Singapore. 'Motorists must ensure that the VEP RFID tags are securely fixed on their vehicles and activated for use once they have received them,' he added.

SMRT fined S$3 million after six-day East–West Line breakdown: A closer look at what went wrong
SINGAPORE: When trains grounded to a halt on the East–West Line (EWL) from Jurong East to Buona Vista on September 25, 2024, half a million commuters found themselves in limbo for six days. On Tuesday, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced it will impose a S$3 million penalty on SMRT, citing the gravity of the incident and the costs already borne by the rail operator. Here's how a seemingly small mechanical failure cascaded into one of Singapore's most disruptive rail incidents in recent memory—and how both LTA and SMRT are racing to ensure it never happens again. How a dislodged axle box sparked six days of chaos On the morning of Sept 25, a Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) train was being withdrawn from service near Dover Station on its way back to Ulu Pandan Depot. That routine move took a sudden, unexpected turn: one of the axle boxes—an essential housing that supports the train's wheels—came loose and fell off the track. As the train continued on its journey, the third carriage's bogie (wheel assembly) derailed, gouging 2.55 km of rail and trackside equipment, including power cables and the third rail that supplies electricity. Passengers on board felt a burning smell; SMRT immediately halted the train at Clementi and evacuated riders safely. But the derailed bogie had already ripped up track and cables between Dover and Ulu Pandan, forcing LTA to suspend EWL services for six days until repairs were completed on Sept 30. Services resumed on Oct 1, but not before thousands of journeys were severely delayed or rerouted. LTA's findings: Degraded grease and deferred maintenance LTA's thorough investigation—supported by an independent forensic analysis from SGS Testing and Control Services—could not pinpoint a single 'smoking gun,' but it zeroed in on a likely culprit: degraded grease within the axle box. Over time, this grease failed to lubricate the bearings properly, causing excessive friction and heat. High temperatures, hidden alerts : A Hot Axle Box Detection System (HABDS) near Lavender station had registered 118°C on the affected axle box in the hours before the derailment—nearly twice the normal operating temperature of 65°C. Unfortunately, an internal system error at SMRT meant that maintenance staff could not identify which train had triggered the alert. As a result, no follow-up action was taken. : A Hot Axle Box Detection System (HABDS) near Lavender station had registered 118°C on the affected axle box in the hours before the derailment—nearly twice the normal operating temperature of 65°C. Unfortunately, an internal system error at SMRT meant that maintenance staff could not identify which train had triggered the alert. As a result, no follow-up action was taken. Chevron springs and catastrophic failure : As the bearings overheated, the rubber layers between the chevron springs (metal plates bonded with rubber) began to burn. LTA's report found traces of burnt rubber and metal debris along the track, indicating that the springs disintegrated first. With support weakened, the axle box eventually dislodged completely. : As the bearings overheated, the rubber layers between the chevron springs (metal plates bonded with rubber) began to burn. LTA's report found traces of burnt rubber and metal debris along the track, indicating that the springs disintegrated first. With support weakened, the axle box eventually dislodged completely. Extended overhaul intervals: Regular preventive maintenance on this train on September 10, 2024, showed no anomalies, and the bearings and springs appeared nominal. However, SMRT had twice extended its overhaul intervals—beyond the stipulated 500,000 km—first to 575,000 km in August 2022, and then to 750,000 km in August 2024, citing overall fleet reliability. By the time of the incident, the train had clocked 690,000 km since its last overhaul in 2018. LTA notes that, had this train been overhauled 'in a more timely manner,' degraded grease could have been replaced sooner. The S$3 million penalty: Proportionate costs and public interest In determining the penalty, LTA weighed several factors: SMRT had already spent over S$10 million on emergency repairs, free shuttle buses and trains, and allowing commuters free travel between Jurong East and Buona Vista for the six-day duration. Rather than funnelling the fine to general revenue, LTA will channel the S$3 million into the Public Transport Fund, which supports lower-income families with travel subsidies—an acknowledgement that no matter how many repairs happen behind the scenes, commuters shoulder the immediate impact. SMRT Trains posted a net profit of S$7.5 million on revenues of S$886.7 million—meaning a S$3 million fine, while significant, is proportionate. Lessons learned, and the road ahead For half a million daily riders, six days without EWL service underscored how a single mechanical failure can ripple across an entire city's routines—from late-night hospital shifts to early-morning school commutes. LTA's final report makes one thing clear: routine maintenance and monitoring data must be treated as urgent red flags, not background noise. SMRT Trains president Lam Sheau Kai acknowledged at a briefing that, despite decades of reliable service, 'a convergence of factors'—delayed train deliveries, extended overhaul intervals, supply-chain bottlenecks—'caught them off guard.' He added, 'In hindsight, we could perhaps have exercised greater caution in how we managed the transition and decommissioning of older trains.'

GrabCab to launch in July; aims to attract both new and 'dormant' taxi drivers
SINGAPORE: GrabCab will begin plying roads here in July with a 40-car fleet, and aims to attract new and dormant taxi drivers with various benefits. Some of these benefits include monetary incentives for drivers who fulfil a certain number of rides, and a S$1,000 (US$770) bonus to reward safe driving. So far, 700 to 800 drivers have registered their interest with GrabCab, of which about 400 to 500 are being considered on the basis of having a Taxi Driver's Vocational Licence (TDVL). A TDVL is a required licence for individuals who want to drive taxis. Appointments for pre-registered drivers will begin on Thursday (Jun 5), and from Jun 9, registrations will be open to all eligible drivers. Mr Victor Sim, head of GrabCab and GrabRentals told the media on Wednesday that attracting drivers from existing taxi firms to join their platform is something they 'want to avoid doing'. He believes that not all TDVL holders in Singapore are active. 'There's a very big pool of drivers that we believe we want to reactivate, that we can reactivate with our benefits and offerings … that's a big focus for us,' he said. It was announced in April that GrabCab will be Singapore's sixth taxi operator after it received a licence to run street-hail services. GrabCab is a subsidiary of Grab Rentals and the sister company of GrabCar, which holds licences to operate ride-hail and car-pool services. 'GrabCab's entry into the street-hail sector brings the total number of taxi operators to six, providing drivers and commuters with more choices and is expected to boost taxi supply," the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said then. The other current taxi operators are CityCab, CDG, Prime, Strides and Trans-cab. HOW GRABCAB WILL WORK Come July, GrabCab will be launched with an initial fleet of 40 Toyota Prius hybrid cars with a dark green livery, with more vehicles to be added progressively. Grab said that it will have a 100 per cent green fleet featuring low and zero-emission hybrid vehicles. Like all taxis, GrabCabs will have a Mobile Data Terminal (MDT), more commonly known as a taxi meter - that will give details such as the fare and profile of the driver. Drivers who start a shift can use the Grab app to scan a QR code on the terminal, which will sync the app to the vehicle. Details such as fares, and the hired or vacant status of the taxi, will be synced on both the app, as well as the taxi's MDT and its rooftop display. Using the app, taxi drivers can also switch between street hail and ride-hail jobs. For passengers, Grab will also offer fares that are in line with prevailing taxi rates in the market. The flag down fare will be S$4.60, S$4.80 and S$4.80 for 4-seaters standard cars, 4-seater electric cars and 6-seater cars respectively. There will be 26 cent increments every 400m up to 10km, every 350m after the first 10km, and every 45s of waiting. Mr Sim said that while GrabCab will be given a three-year grace period to progressively expand its fleet to meet the minimum requirement of 800 taxis, it 'does not have plans to wait until the third year' to hit that target. 'We want to scale up corresponding to driver demand … we will do it sustainably,' he said. There will also be a relief matching feature in the Grab app for drivers that will let them easily find and connect with relief drivers, making scheduling of shift changes more convenient and hassle free. BENEFITS FOR DRIVERS GrabCab drivers could experience benefits such as: A 'safe driving bonus' of S$1,000 for every 12-months free of 'at-fault' accidents. This refers to an accident where one driver is deemed legally responsible for causing the crash. A 1 per cent 'GrabStreak' bonus on fares earned for drivers who complete between 500 to 700 trips a month. Fuel discounts of up to 40 per cent at all Caltex petrol stations, and up to 25 per cent discounts at electric vehicle charging providers SP, Charge+, Volt and Shell. Fourteen days of medical leave for the first 100 drivers who sign up, while subsequent drivers will have fewer days, but will still be covered. Up to S$500 credits for clinic and medical visits. Prolonged medical leave benefit that covers up to 90 per cent of loss of street hail and ride-hail earnings, and up to 14 days medical leave and 60 days hospitalisation leave. The ability to instantly cash out their fares after every trip using the Grab App. Rental rates for new cars will start at S$117 a day, competitive with other taxi firms which have starting prices between S$115 and S$135, said Mr Sim. Grab added that the first 100 drivers who sign up with the company will also have a welcome bonus of S$1,888 for a 12-month package and S$3,888 for a 36-month package. GrabCab will also sponsor eligible drivers up to S$400 for their TDVL application, covering aspects such as course fees, application charges and the medical check-up. TACKLING THE SUPPLY CRUNCH When GrabCab's licence was approved, transport analysts said that the firm could attract drivers from its rivals and disrupt the industry. However, Mr Sim said that this is not Grab's intention. 'If the driver is already driving with another taxi company, and he comes to us … we are not going to turn him away, but at the end of the day, it's back to our acquisition plan - our focus is on new TDVL holders, and TDVL holders that have gone dormant,' he said. The reason? To boost the supply of ride-hail and taxi services. 'We are very confident that with our ecosystem, both passenger-facing and back-end, we can leverage that to make GrabCab drivers' lives easier,' he said. 'Whether or not that will help us to do better than other competitors, I don't know. We focus on the national supply problem.' Mr Sim added that the demand for ride and street hail will continue to grow over the next few years, which is why Grab is stepping into the taxi industry. 'When you think about taxis, you think of a sunset industry … so it seems counterintuitive for Grab to launch a taxi business,' he said. However, he added that the taxi business 'still makes a lot of sense in this day and age'. For example, there are certain periods of high demand such as after concerts that Grab still struggles to provide a reliable supply of rides. 'We believe that with a taxi licence, that gives us the ability to actually provide more consistent, reliable supply for these targeted areas of locations,' he said. Measures to level the playing field between taxi operators and ride-hail operators were announced earlier this year. For instance, taxi operators will have greater flexibility in managing their fleets, with new regulations allowing them to convert used cars that are less than five years old into taxis. Grab also has no plans to shift its taxi offerings purely to GrabCab, or prioritise its taxis over other operators. Currently, taxi rides from other taxi operators can also be booked through the Grab app. 'There are no plans to phase it out, it's still an important platform for our other taxi partners,' said Mr Sim.
