新加坡出租车司机不慎刮花保时捷 车主仅收1新币赔偿获好评

A Singaporean, whose Porsche car was scratched after an accident with a taxi decided to be kind and charge the driver only S$1 for repairs. In a Facebook post, the driver under the user name Fed Wu, shared photos of the accident and some screenshots of his talk with the taxi driver.

At first the taxi driver paid him S$200 as compensation but Wu returned S$199 to him after saying that he managed to get the car repaired for a cheap price. In his screenshots, Wu also shared his empathy towards the taxi driver saying that it was a difficult job and taxi drivers were trying to make a living during this period of time with the high risk.

Besides that, Wu also praised the taxi driver for doing with it calmly and for saying that it was his mistake in the first place. “I must say that I received a compensation of S$1 for the above repair and no further claim will be made against you,” he said in his talk with the taxi driver. The post has now over 3,000 likes and 4,000 shares along with comments praising Wu for his selfless action.
