PETALING JAYA: An English tourist was charged RM450 for a taxi ride from KL Sentral to the Suria KLCC shopping centre, a distance of less than 10km.

The Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) said the tourist paid the fare before lodging a report against the driver.

SPAD chairman Tan Sri Syed Hamid Albar said they were investigating and would take action against the taxi driver and the operator.

He said the taxi driver was believed to have threatened the tourist into paying the fee.
“Taxi drivers are our frontliners and ambassadors of the country as they interact with tourists daily.
“We are taking this seriously as it affects the country's image,” he said after opening SPAD's new enforcement centre at the Persada Plus here yesterday.

He said SPAD was conducting a study to regulate the pricing mechanism for the taxi coupon system.
“We want feedback from taxi drivers and passengers before proceeding with the study,” he said, adding that there were mixed views about the coupon system.

While some supported it, he said, others saw it as restrictive.

“Some drivers said they would be unable to take passengers if they were not part of the taxi coupon system, while others felt it restrict-ed their movement,” he said, adding that the system was implemented privately by mall and airport operators.

SPAD also announced the purchase of 17 new vehicles, which will be used by its enforcement officers nationwide.

Syed Hamid said the highest number of reports SPAD received were against illegal taxi touts, followed by complaints about overloaded lorries on the road.

In the 3,845 operations conducted since Jan 2010, 74 individuals and operators have been taken to court.

 Let's don't say goodbye

I hate the way it sounds
So if you don't mind
Let's just say for now

See you when I see you
Another place some other time
If I ever get down your way
Or you're ever up around mine
We'll laugh about the old days
And catch up on the new
Yeah see you when I see you
And I hope it's some day soon

God made this old world round
And maybe it's that way
So that paths that we go down
Yeah will cross again someday
And someday I'll...

So, see you when I see you
and
Good Luck in your future undertaking.

This story tells us not to be 'too kind' to our bosses.

( I got this from friend)

Here it goes:

There's this Jed Smith  who was working for a multi-millionaire as a house guard. One day, while the millionaire was driving out to catch an early morning flight to conclude a business deal,  Jed Smith  ran out from the guard house and stopped the millionaire' s car just right
in front of the gate.

He said 'Sir! Sir! Are you going to board a plane?'

'Yes, why?' asked the millionaire.

'You had better cancel the trip. You see, last night I dreamt about the plane going to crash.'
Curious over the early morning fright that  Jed Smith  had given, the multimillionaire decided to cancel his trip.

'You better be damn right for this is a million dollar deal.'The following day, there was a news report that the plane which the millionaire was supposed to take had indeed crash landed. 'Thank God, I cancelled the trip', the rich man said realising that what Jed Smith had said had come true, he summoned Smith to see him. When the guard was called that morning, the millionaire gave him his salary and FIRED him.

WHY did he do that?

Think first.....

Use your brains..... Use your brains!!!

Still no idea?

Come on..... it is quite easy.....

Still drawing a blank???

Just imagine you are Jed Smith  and you have saved your boss's life.....

OK, since you do not want to 'use your brain' like Jed Smith  before
you talk to your boss.

Just scroll down for the answer ...
















Jed Smith was supposed to guard the house at night. NOT to Sleep and
Dream all night!


ADVICE: So, GO BACK TO WORK, and don't try to save your boss's life.
It's not worth it! Always save your own ass first!!
