A Singapore cabbie has received commendation and a reward after returning $900,000 in cash he found in the backseat of his cab to its owners. Yes, nine hundred grand in cash. That is one loaded passenger … and one honest cab driver. Sia Ka Tian, 70, who has worked as a taxi driver in the Asian city-state for more than 30 years, said he had no desire to keep the mysterious windfall. “The money is unimportant to me. It doesn’t belong to me, so how can I use it?” he said. Sia found the bag after dropping off a vacationing Thai couple at a shopping center Monday. He knew there was a lot of money in it, but didn’t bother to count it. If you’re not gonna keep it, why bother right? Instead, he immediately turned it in to the lost-and-found office at his employer, ComfortDelGro transport company, who the couple had already contacted. Sia was waiting for them when they arrived to claim their cash.
