This is a real story spread among Singapore taxi drivers.It was about 7.30 pm in Chinese New Year’s eve. Taxi driver Ah Tan, a60-year-old man, lived in Bedok Reservoir Rd, was rushing back home tocelebrate the family dinner.
He happened to pass by a remote path somewhere near Punggol. That usedto be a farm village but has been deserted for a few years. There werealtogether four bus-stops along the roadside.
While he was driving along the path, he saw a young lady at the bus-stopflagging for his taxi. At first, he wanted to take the lady but he wasgoing to be late for his dinner. Being a person particular for punctuality,he decided not to take this customer. Then he carried on driving. To
his surprise, there was another lady flagging him down. This time hefelt familiar because she was wearing a red T-shirt and black skirt butdue to fading light, he could not see her face.
When he passed by the third bus-stop, he felt a bit of horror as anotherlady was flagging him again, in the same red and black clothes! Howwould a lady moves faster than the wheels? The distance between twostops is about 0.8 KM away! This time, he really felt horrible and steppedthe accelerator harder.When passing the fourth one, a lady charged at his car!
He was driving at least at the speed of 100 KM/H! The lady flew over hisvehicle and dropped inside a drain next to the bus-stop. Ah Tan cried outdue to extremely horror! The victim once again in red and black clothes.Ah Tan felt so bad and had no mood celebrating New Year.
Finally, he decided to report to the police. The body in red andblack skirt was found, it was a young Chinese lady aged between 20 to25 year old. Ah Tan’s horror got attested. The lady’s cause of deathis not by car accident but stabbed by sharp object! She had been deadfor about three days, the body already started to decay.
After the police statement, Ah Tan thought of the whole things had been over.Of course the police snickered at his initial statement and made him doanother ‘credible’ one.
One week later, Ah Tan’s horrible feeling had lessen. What a coincidence,he striked first prize 4-D for his taxi number plate. He won a big sumof money, he was so delighted in this, but unfortunately he fell downin the bath room and fractured his right arm. He was admitted to Changi hospital.
In the hospital, he started to have nightmare night after night. A young lady,in red and black skirt, kept calling him “Ah Peh, li di si lo lai?”(Uncle, whenare you coming down?). He really cannot tolerate to it anymore.
Moreover, the inflammation started on his wound. Luckily, one of hisfriend who is a Taoist priest suggested to give up his stake’s moneyinstead of plead for ’safety’. He told Ah Tan that the lady ghost isgnawed by serious grievances and has become a ferocious spirit.
Since she could not avenge the murderer due to some reasons, Ah Tanchosen to be the ’scapegoat’ for her rebirth’. The 4D winning stakeis to exchange for his life!
After a battle of mind, the lady still disturbed him in the meanwhile,with a shattered nerves he decided to give up his $100,000 to TheCharity Community Chest. Strange enough, he recovered from the illnessrapidly.
Everything seemed to be over, but a short period after his discharged,his wife striked 4-D again, the stake amount is also $100,000! This isbecause, one day, his wife went market and bought some vegetable, shesaw the wrapper was the used newspaper which reported the young lady’smurder case. Strangely, there was four numbers on it, and his wifebet on and striked. After a fierce argument between them, Ah Tan failedto convince his wife to donate the money. A deep worry began to burdenAh Tan when his wife started puzzle head and like to put on red T-shirtand black skirt. She seemed to go mad and the temper got hotter and hotter.
One morning, she suddenly told Ah Tan that the life is meaningless’.This time Ah Tan was decisive, he gave up all the money immediately. Hebrought his wife to the temple and asked the monks to release the young lady’ssouls from purgatory.
After this incident, he stop buying 4-D or involves in all kinds of gambling.Not long ago, he’d also gave up his taxi-license.
