Brits in Singapore mock aged rickshaw driver and spark anger over YouTube clip.
Three British tourists who mocked a 76-year-old rickshaw driver because he couldn't pedal fast enough for them - then posted a video of the struggling and panting old man on YouTube - have caused uproar in Singapore.
The trio also ran off without paying the £5 fare he requested and escaped in a taxi yelling expletives which were heard on YouTube as they filmed themselves leaving the scene at Clarke Quay, popular nightspot.
“Ten dollars my f***ing arse,” yelled one as the video camera showed a close-up of his face.
The video titled “the Slowest Taxi In SE Asia” was posted on the popular site by one of the three, who called himself Bo Davis.Angered by the way they treated the rickshaw driver dozens of Singaporean bombarded the website and local papers, expressing their feelings and what they would like to do to them.
“Don't come back to Singapore,” wrote one. “We will be waiting for you.”
Another attacked them for behaving like Singapore was still a British colony. And a local tabloid The New Paper splashed the story on the front page with two pages inside, showing the laughing faces of the mocking Brits goading the rickshaw rider.
The video also showed close-ups of the three Brits and the agonised look on the face of the driver, Mr Lee Shee Lam, as he pedalled as fast as he could under the weight of the three men, all in their mid to late twenties.
They were also heard laughing and mocking him. “God, he's in fifth gear,” said one.
They had squeezed into the rickshaw at Clarke Quay for the ten minute ride along the river.
But soon it was clear they were out to poke fun at Mr. Lam along the way.
THIS IS NOT FUNNY ANYMORE!! HUMILIATING TO THE EXTREME
