A netizen by the name of Manfred shared about his experience with a taxi driver from Comfort Taxi.
Manfred purportedly grossly overpaid his cab fare by accident, his cab fare was $15 but he paid $103 instead because he mixed up the notes in a bunch of two $100 notes and he didn’t pay attention (and neither did the driver).
However, Manfred received a message from the driver, a certain Mr Shaim Raheem, who tracked him down by calling the Comfort Raxu booking desk to get his contact details, and sought to return his customer the money.
“I had to read twice, when I received this Whatsapp message tonight. I took a taxi home after a long walk tonight and appeared to be Mr. Raheem’s last customer of his day. When paying at the end of the ride i didn’t pay attention (and neither did he) and mixed up the notes in a bunch of two 100 dollar notes and several 10 dollar notes in my valet. In Singapore the 100 dollar and 10 dollar notes are quite similar in colour and easily mixed up, especially with limited light at night in a cab.
My utmost respect and gratitude to Mr. Raheem for his honesty! He could easily just have kept the money and I would have never known. Instead he called the Comfort Taxi booking desk to obtain my mobile number Im deeply impressed and humbled by this man’s integrity It’s truly heartwarming that such honesty still exists! Thank you very much, Mr.Raheem!”
