The taxi man's story is about a Singaporean taxi driver telling a story to his passenger, who we could assume as a female office worker. The taxi man talks to his passenger about his life as a taxi man, where he had been driving the taxi for 20 years and how Singapore had changed so much over time. He told the passenger then, 20 years ago, Singapore was not this busy and it was much more peaceful and quiet in Singapore, unlike today, where people and vehicles fill the streets. He also said that he must work hard by driving the taxi every day, since, he did not have proper education and no capital for business.
The taxi man stated that he must sweat a lot, so he could support his family. It was due to the fact that his family was large, having eight children - six sons and 2 daughters, because back then family planning was not yet introduced to Singapore. On the other hand, he is very thankful because most of his children are professionals now. One is a businessman, two of them are working as clerks, one of them teaching in a primary school, one working in the National service, probably the government, one still studying and his eldest daughter, who is at home, helping his wife. The taxi man then complained about the teenagers of today, wearing make-up, flirting with other men, partying, drinking liquor, and selling their bodies to foreign tourists. As he stated, there are times where students, together with their foreign boyfriends would hail his cab and would ask him to drop them off in various hotels, sometimes, they make love inside his car, it makes him angry and disgusted but they pay him high and sometimes tip him.
After that, he told the passenger about his youngest daughter, who was still studying. How she was an honor student and a bright and kind child. Until he found out what she was up to. She was doing the kind of stuff that his father hates from the youth of today. He told the passenger that he dragged her daughter home and beat her up, he then locked her in the room, to discipline her.
The story ends with the Taxi man dropping off his passenger as he is in a hurry to pick-up passengers from the hotel who are mostly students.
The irony in the story of The Taxi man's Story perfectly describes Friedrich Nietzsche's quote from his book ''The Leviathan'', "If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you''. He loved what he hated, that is the irony of the story. The taxi man hates the youth yet he makes money from them, by providing them with service. Picking them up in hotels, dropping them off, and even allowing them to make love inside his cab, just because they pay him a hefty amount of cash. In short, the Taxi man is a hypocrite.
