Lovell Tan, a Singaporean woman, told citizen journalism website Stomp
that she came across a taxi which, on the inside, was decorated with obituary
photos, toys and figurines related to the dead. Tan stumbled on to this
peculiar taxi in the Choa Chu Kang area that has many cemeteries.
According to
the National Environment Agency, Choa Chua Kang cemetery is the only one in
Singapore still open for burials, the Straits Times reported. "It was
overflowing with decorations - the front and back windows were filled with
figurines, there was an amazing amount of written notes and stickers all over
the taxi, and obituary photos were hanging from end to end," Tan said.
"Even the car boot was filled with toys and figurines and photos of the
dead. As I was taking photos of the taxi, the driver came up to us and I asked
him if we could take a photo of him with the taxi." "I wonder if
anyone would dare to ride in his taxi," she said.
