If we think about it, another of the guilds that has sacrificed a lot throughout the pandemic is that of the taxi drivers. Being a service of first necessity, they have crossed the streets at deserted times and have been constantly exposed to possible contagion, so you have to rescue your effort.
But there are cases where the sense of service goes far beyond a mere career. Meet Lim, a taxi driver from Singapore who offers a lot more than a ride: he always carries extra plates of food in case he bumps into someone in need.
Lim, 59, goes out every night and takes advantage of buy food for dinner at home with his family. But sometimes he buys plenty of hot food to help out should the opportunity arise. This is how it happened with Grace Tan, a passenger who was lucky enough to get into Lim’s car on the night of March 13.
Immediately, the woman noticed the delicious aroma of some noodles hot that Lim had bought. According to ComfortDelGro Taxi page on FacebookAs it was very late, the driver asked Grace if she was hungry, to which she replied yes. It was in that minute that Lim, without much thought, offered him the noodles to the woman.
At first Grace rejected the offer respectfully, but Lim insisted and ended up convincing her. According to the same source, the woman commented that she had no higher expectations of that taxi ride, as always, but she was delighted with Lim’s action.
“The generosity and kindness of this taxi driver surprised me, especially since this period of COVID-19 has been hard for him. It reminded me that being nice is intentional and a choice that we make ourselves. Could he be an angel sent to remind me to be kind in this busy pace of life? “

Lim insisted with his humility and modesty, arguing with a chuckle that “I told him it didn’t matter, not to worry! It is simply a small gesture, I am happy to share ”.
Many users thought that the story was false, since it was the same company where Lim works that published the information. However, the company rectified that the same passenger approached them to inform them of the generous act of the driver.
Good for Lim, a small gesture like that can bring great satisfaction to life!
