IMHO that Singapura Pachik driver was cool in handling the situation. And if it was staged to sabotage Go jek , then both the driver and riders are actor and actress.
In real life e hailing, we come across many unreasonable riders where they would lodge false complaint to make you commit traffic offences by making u turn like that taxi driver at Bangsar where the motorist pillion rider was killed. My experience was worse where the rider asked me asked me to make a u turn near Sunway Mentari intersection to PJ which I refused for that cheapskate rider when I was Uberman. Of course I refused though he said many Uber or Grab drivers did that where it save time and distance to go the side of Carlsberg. In another case, there was this wanna PHD holder from Sunway college asking me to make u turn where I retorted is he responsible for the saman if caught to save a couple of bucks where there is a signage that said "no U turn" I could have killed someone or get banged. Told him I knew Tan Sri Cheah philosophy oi education is to educated enough to be responsibility to society. He is from Ipoh Mali orang tak sombong like me. In Uber days, I get to pursue the case with senior management where they said they would take firm action to give banana to such riders as they agreed with in e hailing platform it is for the drivers and riders reasonable demand and respect.
Just recently a foreigner rider Grabbed me to speed and went into no entry lane. I shut the Nigerian pussy cat doll " can you afford the ex enforcement officer to break the traffic law "where she remained silent with face turn white like ghost. I promptly reported to Grab where this particular Malay staff was competent enough to handle the situation with professional attitude and perfect lingual English. Most of all her empathy and understanding where she agreed these type of riders was endangering public safety and put the drivers at risk. She said she would report this case to higher management to see wassup.
Most of all, these riders would reported you even if you are right to ensure safety rules and compliance of law and order. They may even reported you otherwise....and rated 1 star. Never be Cincai and soft like Cincau jelly to unreasonable riders that put your driving in jeopardy.
I have waited for more than 10 minutes for a Grab ride and personally help to carried a pengsan rider to the nearest clinic with just Rm6 fare by driving with horns and hazzard lights recently. The designation was Klinik and I waited even my message was not being replied. I gave the benefit of doubt. If the designation is to Zouk, different cerita. Or I would have waited till the ladies get into thier cars from the carpark or up safely to the lonely train station at night. Only when they in the train and car, I would drive off after their calls. I do it out of own free will

To add salt on the wound, i would say why a monk need a comb whereas he is bald...Due to desperation, economy recession, lose of job, financial unstability, we have no choice but to do grab. Not only you, i believe there thousands of hidden story happened everyday encounter by grab driver. We drive grab not because of pleasure or some said just to past time. But the matter of fact, it was merely desperation and we just aint someone who sit at home doing nothing due to bad time. I salute those who drive to earn a decent pay to support family....Driving for grab is never an easy job. With grab standing on rider side and simply ban drivers without just cause and excuse...our patience and EQ are push to the max.
Outside, there are thousands sad story happen everyday to driver but who cares? Grab? Surely no...I do have friends describing driving for grab is worst than becoming a prostitute. At least prostitute get money and pleasure when performing their cores....what can we get from Grab except long pickup and higher fare of RM5????
Until today, many still not wake up for stop driving for grab though realizing that is not worth it. Yes, you collect fare and you see cash coming in wallet But...what about wear and tear of your car? petrol? tyre? servicing car? All these amount eats in your profit. In tradition chinese, these drivers are classified as "Eldest Son". In short, is call doing charity at the expense of own cost.
To describe grab driver more precisely, they are like cursed being....unable to see or realize how not worth is being a grab driver. Pls dont get me wrong. I dont mean to stop all of you from driving grab....as i deeply know....i am being cursed as well....
