confirm is play us out...lan lan pay him.

another time is close call.....going to btm centre.....
half way the driver suddenly stop by busy roadside after receiving call....i tot die liao.....(he want to rob us???) he say alot of things....in the end we finally understood he say tyre punctured....want us to get out.
ok.....pay half the amt n get out.
then he immediately drove off.....where got tyre punctured????
my buddy say most likely he got another "fat robert" booking.
lucky we managed to flag down another car to continue our journey.

so if like me scaredy cat, i won't go alone de.....only my buddy jio me then i go.
There are many similar cases happens during all this years when I am cheoging btm. Whether it is happening to my friends or heard from the cwks.... I myself also kena, even I can speak bahasa indo. Either they will chop u or rob you if there is an opportunity to get you and get away with it. So be careful!!!

As I have said before, the taxi supirs will chop u when you are least expected it. Don’t believe they are really nice to you. They are always expecting something in return from you. Still don’t believe………. Keep cheonging and 1 day u will know.

Good luck to all bros here.
