COMFORTDELGRO TAXI SETS UP FUND TO ASSIST NEEDY CABBIES 23 December 2016 -ComfortDelGro cabbies who are facing financial difficulties can now seek help directly from the Company.

The new Cabby Hardship Fund is being set up by ComfortDelGro Taxi to assist its cabbies and their immediate families who require financial aid arising from death, total and permanent incapacity, as well as serious chronic medical conditions.

Managed by a committee made up of Management staff and the Company's taxi representatives, it will assess all aid requests and disburse the funds based on the merits of each case. Cabbies can put up their requests to the Company's Driver Relations Officers either in writing or in person.

To launch the Fund, ComfortDelGro Taxi will be donating 50 cents for every completed booking job on Christmas Day (25 Dec) itself. A total of $50,000 is expected to be raised.

Said Mr Yang Ban Seng, CEO of ComfortDelGro Taxi: "Our cabbies are our valued partners, and their welfare is our priority. There are instances in which they need a helping hand to tide them over financial difficulties as a result of sudden losses or unexpected medical conditions. That is the purpose of the Cabby Hardship Fund."

Cabby Daniel Woo, who has been with the Company for close to two years, welcomes the good news. The father of triplets had sought help from ComfortDelGro Taxi when one of his daughters developed health complications shortly after birth last year. The Company readily did so. He said: "In most organisations, appeals for assistance would never have been acted as swiftly with understanding and kind consideration as compared to what I have experienced with ComfortDelGro Taxi."
