China tourists accuse Singapore tour bus driver of ejecting them for spending too little
- ‘Nothing for Chinese who do not spend money’, says angry bus driver, who denies woman access to blood pressure medicine
A tour bus driver in Singapore has faced an online backlash for ejecting a group of Chinese tourists after they refused to buy more souvenirs.
The disagreement between the driver and the holidaymakers was filmed on August 16 and posted by one of the group members, according to Singaporean newspaper Shin Min Daily.
The visitor said that the unidentified driver, who works for a local tourism company, made them buy souvenirs such as keychains and perfume.
He became angry because he thought they were not buying enough.
The driver then allegedly rejected one visitor’s request to fetch her blood pressure medicine from the bus after lunch, saying: “Nothing for Chinese who do not spend money.”
He also shut the bus door before a passenger was fully on board.
