THE REASON WHY TEKSI DRIVERS RETURNING THEIR CABS

Surau Fatimah, Charterfield, KLIA @2018.

Sunday, 21 January 2018.

While on the way from JB, my cik Jnulekasnova's tyre was punctured. Aiyah. I managed to open up all punctured tyre, but was unable to lower down the spare tyre at the back. So I called the Plus Ronda 2018, and they came in 15 minutes while towing another breakdown car. It was 11.33am at kilometer 40.1 heading north. However, they also got trouble to lower down the spare tyre. So, I sent the punctured tyre to the nearby tyre workshop in Sedenak with their Hilux and got back.

After sending off my son to his rented house whose already occupied by his cousins, I drove to Tampin to find tyre shops but none of them are open. So I drove straight to KLIA.

Note. At the surau Fatimah Charterfield, I met AZH, a Limo Cab driver but not Grab/Uber driver.  He told me an interesting new Limo Cab company who offered ex-Teksi drivers as their drivers for Huawei staff mostly from China mainland. "You only need PSV and must be 47 years old at the registration time," he said. "All the money earned is all yours, and you dont have to worry about car petrol, maintenance, and all the jobs are systematically assigned by the company to you." Regarding his old teksi, he said he just returned it to the company but the company doesnt want to take it back. So he just let the teksi parked outside of his house until now.

After waiting for 2 hours, finally got ping but sending to Pelabuhan Klang which I ignored.

9.33pm, TTT alone using Grabcar, ping from KLIA going to Pandan Perdana. Not much talking all the way, but he told me he just came back from Phnom Penh.

"Membangau" at Surau Fatimah for 4 hours is not a productive activity. My uber XL was suddenly kanna requeue again to 200+. Kannina. So I decided to drive straight to JB.

A CHEAPSKATE FAMILY RIDERS FROM KK



Tuesday, 16 January 2018.

Dear diary, I woke up this morning at 4am to pickup scheduled Grab 6-seater rider at Batu caves at 5am going to Subang airport. As expected, since I dont reply his message yesterday, so the job was already cancelled. But it’s okay, it’s not my "rejeki" for today.

Trip no. 1.
4.26am, NZM at Rumah Pangsa Kenanga Taman Putera Sulaiman. He booked grab for the first time, so I reckon he mistakenly chose the 6-seater since he is alone. I dont mind sending the Sandakan young man who is working as chef to Mentari Court Sunway.

When I offered the dad to send to KLIA, at first he was reluctant but later he thought about the cheaper fare compare if they commuting by KLIA express train. When he asked to his wife, the lady yelled at him, “dont change mind lah!” It’s okay, I said, I just wanted them to save money. At the dropoff at KLIA express, she yelled again and insisted me to dropoff at the bus terminal, but I told them that cars cannot enter that bus area. When checking on the fare, they got promo code and paid only rm2. Charcheebye lah.

I said I am going to KL only. He seemed upset and wanted me to cancel, "you are not supposed to ask me the destination." I told him that this is my car, and I only use Uber apps. "How can you accept the job and cancel and let me pay rm5 fine?" he typed it again. I said it's not 5 minute and no charge to him. Then he cancelled the Uber job instantly. Good lah.

6.35pm, ALX at KLIA door 4 going to The Westin Bukit Bintang KL. Yay! 3 pax, ALX and his Singaporean colleaque and the English man who for the first time arriving here. They were talking about old history of British colonization in south east asia, banking business etc.
