Ye Hao Cheung

Ye Hao Cheung, a 53-year-old taxi driver, recently made headlines for attempting to overcharge a group of tourists at the East Dam of the Plover Cove Reservoir in Hong Kong. On October 3, 2023, he requested HK$100 per person from five passengers, significantly exceeding the appropriate fare of HK$405.2, leading to his arrest by police who were monitoring taxi compliance. Cheung admitted to his actions, attributing them to 'a moment of greed,' and has no prior criminal record, although he has two traffic violations. The court imposed a HK$2,000 fine and suspended his taxi license for four weeks, emphasizing the importance of fair taxi service in Hong Kong.
