A Vinasun taxi driver has an argument with a foreign tourist in HCM City on November 20.
Speaking with Dantri/Dtinews on Tuesday, the director of Vinasun, Ta Long Hy, confirmed that they had suspended the driver for a month.
The move came after a video clip posted on social media on November 21 showed a foreign tourist asking a taxi driver to pick up a plastic bag containing a box and a bottle that the driver had dumped on a street in HCM City after finishing his meal.
The driver, told the tourist in Vietnamese "It's none of your business." He then left in his vehicle, leaving the rubbish on the street. The incident was recorded by a local who then posted the clip on social media.
Commenting on the incident, the taxi company director stressed that the driver was wrong to react that way.
"He should have picked the litter up and said sorry and thanked the tourist for reminding him," Hy said. "We summoned the driver for a conversation and suspended him from work for a month. We've also shared the story with all our staff as a lesson."
Hy said that they also wanted to apologise to the tourist about the incident.
