A viral TikTok video shows a Gojek driver arguing with his passenger after the latter made adjustments to the car seat and air conditioner.
Christopher Seetoh, the passenger, posted the video on Saturday (Jan. 7), writing, "Never experienced a disrespectful Gojek driver in my life.
A Gojek representative responded to a Stomp inquiry by simply stating: "Negative outbursts or any other unpleasant conduct toward passengers or driver partners are not tolerated.
"In order to confirm the details of the occurrence, we have contacted both parties and are currently conducting an investigation.
The nearly three-minute clip begins with the driver, who was wearing glasses, driving and berating the person in the front passenger seat.
The passenger stated: "What have I done? My long legs simply moved the seat back."
Driver: "Then the air con."
Passenger: "I just lowered the wind speed a little".
Driver: "You touched my aircon without my permission."
The driver responded with a series of "no"s after the passenger claimed that he waited for the driver for 15 minutes.
When the passenger asked if the ride had begun, the driver referred to her as "siao," which is Hokkien meaning "crazy," to which she replied, "No, you have to send me to my destination, I am not getting out of the car."
The driver warned the passenger that the police would be called and demanded that they exit the vehicle.
"Call," the passenger replied.
The driver then repeatedly requested the passenger to exit while calling him "thick skin" six times.
The passenger asked: "What the hell is wrong with you?"
The motorist retorted: "You are aware that you are in a moving vehicle. What do you think? taxi, ah?"
"I asked you to take the outermost lane, you started shouting at me," the passenger said.
Again, the driver addressed him as "siao."
The passenger then stated: "You proceed to this police station, okay? There is a police station nearby."
"I'll get the police to pull you out," the driver threatened.
The driver pulled into an open-air HDB parking lot, stopped the vehicle, and yelled angrily to the passenger while waving his finger: "Leave the car now! Out! Get out! Get I'mGet out! Get out! Out! Now leave!"
The passenger quietly exited and carried on recording the red Honda as the Gojek driver drove off.
