For those who ask why cash.

There are incidents that can cause you to enter the "I can only use" cash only zone.

The most common one is some kind of crime like be Ah Long. Banks blacklist you from opening account.

Marsiling customer requested cash payment & change from food delivery rider​

A screenshot shared by Mr Redha showed that his brother, who works for GrabFood, was delivering an order worth S$6.50.

According to the screenshot, the customer specified to pay in cash only and requested the rider meet him at the lobby with S$33 in change.

However, the rider asked the customer if he could transfer the S$33 change via PayNow instead of cash.

When the customer flatly refused, the rider asked again and was denied a second time, according to a screenshot of their conversation.

He appealed on Facebook for those who witnessed the incident or had video footage of it.

Suspect allegedly stabbed food delivery rider with Swiss army knife in Marsiling​

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) said in a media release that it received a call for assistance at about 10.35pm on 22 Dec.

The call came from the vicinity of Block 214 Marsiling Lane, where a 21-year-old man purportedly got into a dispute with a 25-year-old man, according to preliminary investigations.

The younger man then allegedly used a Swiss army knife to attack the other man.

The 21-year-old was detained by two passers-by and arrested by the police.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), which was alerted at the same time, told MS News that they conveyed one person to Changi General Hospital and another person to Woodlands Health Campus.

21-year-old man to be charged in court​

On Tuesday (24 Dec), the 21-year-old man will be charged in court with the offence of voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons under Section 324 of the Penal Code 1871, SPF said.

If convicted, he faces up to seven years’ jail, a fine, caning, or any combination of these punishments.

The police have “zero tolerance for such brazen acts of violence and will not hesitate to take action against those who blatantly disregard the law”, it added.

Grab bans consumer from platform​

In response to queries from MS News, a Grab spokesperson said that the company does not tolerate any form of violence and thus such actions are “completely unacceptable” and a violation of its code of conduct.

It is taking the incident seriously and has banned the consumer involved from the platform.

The company has also reached out to the affected delivery-partner to offer support, the spokesperson said, adding:

The safety of our community, including our delivery-partners, is our top priority.

[euro2012]

[dereth]

Jail and caning please. Now is not a time for Singapore laws to show weak side.

 

[Goodshot]

No use banning his account, he can still use new SIM card to register since no need unit number

 

[GRAVESEED]

Actually think about it, he go in squat already come out he can still do the same thing since he don't put in his unit number and can put a random name. Riders also won't know which unit or person to boycott

It's very easy to dismiss an incident as "because he's a siaolang".

I don't see anyone coming forth to give a real alternate, viable explanation why the guy did what he did.

- Ordering food, via cash
- Insists change to be given in cash
- Delivery to a block number, not a unit number

Ticks all the boxes to the guy engaging in vice-related activities.

You're welcome to give another logical/rationale explanation, if you have a working theory.
Root cause is not to "ban such customers" or "ban COD" - the root cause is to nail down people involved or engaged in such vice activities.

But anyway, why am I ranting in here in this cesspool of online forummers - most can't/don't even read past Page 1 of response before clicking on the "Reply" and shooting off their 2cents worth of shitposting comments.

after reading your analysis, I only have one line of questioning - why the need to stab the rider, and why not just cancel the order if the rider refused to comply

in the end, isn't it even worse now that the police are on his/their tail

 

[oOsiMm]

pls jail a few yrs and most importantly...rotan 12 times...

rotan is the scariest for these ppl...not jailtime

You can't expect these low-level guys to be all that smart all the time right, especially one that's tasked to do the most menial of tasks like look after the safe house.

And not all vice guys are satki and baller or high roller with wads of cash to spare.

Some are at the bottom of the food chain, buy food and drinks have to work with the money given by the boss for the day...

after watching The Wire, i know what you mean about low-level guys who are not quite there up there

 

[osirisx]

What was the customer's master plan?
Stab liao, then what?

Rider apologise to him and magically hand over the change in cash?

I wasn't joking when I said that this guy exhibited all the tell-tale signs of engaging in vice activities...

Coz I had one case near my estate some years back, which I assisted the authorities to impound their getaway vehicle which had falsified plates that didn't exist in LTA records.

Of course I was not privvy to all the investigation and findings, but I witnessed the authorities sending in the cavalry to apprehend the suspect (and impound the getaway vehicle).

 

[spinning_quirK]

wah ns issue army knife..

It's scary to think just how many are going around with a hidden blade, ready to use violence in their repertoire if there's a public disagreement.
Many souls are not in good shape in year 2024. May the hope and peace of Christmas' truth be the solution to anyone's inner turmoil.

so the customer want to pay $50 cash.
And want the grab delivery to pay him the change.
But grab asked him us paynow, customer dont want?

Think if not wrong, officially there are only grabpay and cash. Paynow outside transaction not advisable. Certain perspectives see, think both also got issues bah.

Think this kind of customer quite la-sap one. Want COD don't have exact change ready. Make it troublesome for delivery. Delivery not ATM eh. And the delivery keep insist on other payment method is not good also.

If both so cannot see eye to eye, just cancel order. Why want to force own self go through with it. Then have the frustration and anger for what. Over few dollars things.
