Trishaw

I forgot how I came across this video but I'm so sad and angry about it!

It's about three British guys who sat on a trishaw Uncle Lee was pedaling for and they refused to pay!

Not only that, they even make fun of the uncle and Uncle Lee did not have any idea because he only understand simple language..

One of the three guys thought it was funny and posted it up in YouTube titling "Slowest Taxi in SE Asia"

SO ANGRY!!!!!!!!



Doesn't it makes you sad?

These interview clips made me more sad and almost made me cry. Watch part 1 and part 2.

So inhumane. Uncle Lee was trying to make a living and you can see that he was actually struggling to pedal with THREE MEN on it. THREE MEN. If they're approximately 60kg each, that's 180kg exclusive of the trishaw's weight! It's so obvious he was panting while trying to withstand the weight of these guys.

:(

The ride was supposed to cost $15, one person for $5 and they refuse to pay him the initial amount.

It's a trishaw powered by human, not some engine in normal vehicles. Perhaps we're all pampered by the luxury of vehicles whereby we can move around by just stepping on the pedal itself, so a trishaw was like a joke to them.

It's not easy earning money with a trishaw. It's from the olden days and now we all have vehicles that move alot faster than it that no one even sets their eye on wanting to ride a trishaw anymore, maybe a tourist.

Why do they have to do that?

The guy who posted the video wrote an apology letter (which I can't find the link to) but it's still quite unforgivable.

This incident has caused an uproar with netizens who wrote comments on demanding an apology..

If I ever see Uncle Lee, I'll ask him for a ride.
