A moment in the clip recording the scene of a cyclo driver snatching money from the hand of a foreign tourist - Photo cut from the clip
On June 2, speaking with Tuoi Tre Online , Mr. Ngo Anh Duyet - Chairman of the Nha Trang City Labor Federation, the unit managing the Nha Trang Cyclo Union - said that this unit had held a meeting and agreed to revoke the union membership card, vehicle registration number, and union uniform of Mr. D.L. (57 years old, the cyclo driver who snatched money from the hand of a foreign customer).
According to Mr. L.'s report, on the evening of May 30, he picked up two Russian tourists who asked to go from Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street (Nha Trang City) to 98 Tran Phu, more than 1.5km away.
At first, the customer asked about the price, Mr. L. said 50,000 VND and the customer agreed to get in the car. However, when they arrived, the customer only gave 5,000 VND so Mr. L. did not agree.
This man said that after the customer offered 35,000 VND, he waved his hand in disagreement because he had previously agreed on 50,000 VND.
"In the end, I had to take the 35,000 VND that the female customer gave me, but because I was impatient, I behaved in an uncivilized manner towards the customer," Mr. L. admitted.
At the review session, Mr. L. said that his actions were wrong, violated the rules and regulations of the Nha Trang Cyclo Union, violated traffic safety and affected the city's tourism image.
Mr. Ngo Anh Duyet said that Nha Trang Cyclo Union has temporarily suspended union members, revoked union number, membership card, and identification shirt of Mr. L.
"Just one minute of lack of restraint caused Mr. L. to act inappropriately. We have temporarily suspended him from work so he can correct his actions, and at the same time directed some other cyclo drivers to supervise and assist Mr. L. for a while. If he complies with the rules and regulations and makes progress, we may consider reinstating him to the union," said Mr. Duyet.
According to Mr. Duyet, Mr. L. is illiterate and is a freelance worker from another province who came to Nha Trang to drive a cyclo.
As reported by Tuoi Tre Online , on the evening of May 31, a 15-second clip with the content "The uncivilized behavior of the cyclo driver tarnishes the image of Nha Trang tourism..." was circulated on Facebook.
The clip recorded the scene where a foreign tourist gave money but the cyclo driver showed 5 fingers. Then, he seemed angry and snatched the money from the foreign woman's hand.
As soon as the clip went viral, many people expressed outrage and said that the cyclo driver's behavior was not up to standard, affecting the image of civilized and friendly tourism in Nha Trang City.
