Cabby Charges $40 To Drive Cheapskate To Geylang Hookers.

In a bold display of entrepreneurial spirit, a local taxi driver has been hailed as a "financial visionary" for quoting a $40 flat fee for a five-kilometre trip from Marina Bay Sands to Geylang.

The passenger was reportedly shocked that a short ride to Singapore's premier destination for "fried rice" and questionable life choices would cost more than his entire outfit.

"Forty dollars? Knn, he think he driving private jet is it?" remarked one bystander, sipping a lukewarm Tiger beer.

"Uncle say midnight surcharge, MBS surcharge, and 'I-know-where-you're-going' surcharge all included. If you want go Geylang at 2am, you pay the Sin Tax lah!"

Authorities remind commuters that the taxi meter is now officially considered a decorative vintage ornament for drivers roleplaying as Somali pirates.
