what to do. They claim that they're a legitimate paper but all they are is a rag. False advertising in my book :bsmilie:
Sad to see the uncle when I saw the youtube. I always saw this uncle along Central fixing his trishaw. He does look so "Ci Xiang" whenever I walked past him. To think, the 3 'nice' guys insulted over the youtube. Foreign talent huh.
quote from UK Daily Mail...
it should print SGD5 instead of £5. if there are dumbasses in the world reading this, they may think the victim is charging a ridiculously high fare for a 10-min ride.
man... the Daily Mail should be more carefull in this.

AsiaOne
S'pore Netizen fury over YouTube video
It all started with a British tourist posting online a video he took while on holiday in Singapore about three months ago.
What the Englishman and two of his fellow tourists thought would make a funny video now have them labelled as bullies.
The original video posted up by tourist Mr Bo Davis, 26, was titled "The Slowest Taxi in Southeast Asia" has provoked fiery responses from Netizens.
In the 3 minutes 51 seconds video, the three medium-built guys are seen squeezing onto a trishaw ridden by an elderly man.
Clearly struggling under their weight, the trishaw uncle pedals at a snail's pace, while his passengers taunt him for going so slowly.
According to The New Paper, the trishaw uncle is 67-year-old, Mr Lee Shee Lam, who has been riding for 15 years now.
Mr Lee told The New Paper that the three tourists had originally agreed to pay him $15 for the ride, but after the ride they got off and left in a taxi.
Leaving Mr Lee without paying a single cent.
The original video has been removed by Mr Bo, but someone else has since re-posted it on YouTube and retitled it: "B*****ds bullying Singapore senior citizen…"
At last check, the video has been viewed over 31,000 times and commented on over one thousand times.
Mr Lee, who does not understand English, says that he was not aware that the three Englishmen were making fun of him or that they were filming the trip.
He has since brushed the incident off as bad luck, saying this was the first time his passengers refused to pay, and that there was nothing he could have done about it.
The New Paper also managed to contact Mr Bo Davis, who said he did not feel they were being bullies at all.
On comments that the three of them had bullied Mr Lee, he said: "Looking back, I think we were insensitive. But bullies, no."
Mr Bo Davis also believes that the incident's magnitude has to do with nationality.
He said: "If it were three Asian guys and not three white guys. Would it have got the same reaction?'

i don't think it was printed that way. the uncle would have gladly accepted SGD5 for the effort. but he got none.
We Singaporeans have been accused here of only being able to complain to the authorities and do nothing after that.
This incident shows that Singaporeans do not just complain but also takes action.:thumbsup:
