A taxi driver in Singapore has been praised for remarkable honesty after handing in ￡500,000 which he found in the back of his cab.
一名新加坡計程車司機在把在他的計程車後座發現的50萬英鎊交出來後，因其拾金不昧而受到讚揚。
Sia Ka Tian, who is 70 and has been driving taxis around Singapore for more than 30 years, had just dropped off a Thai couple who were on holiday in the city.
70歲、在新加坡各地開計程車已超過30個年頭的謝嘉典，才剛把一對來新加坡度假的泰國夫妻送下車。
He then found a black paper bag on the back seat. Inside was one million Singapore dollars which equates to just over ￡500,000.
然後他就發現後座有一個黑色紙袋，裡面有100萬星幣，相當於50幾萬英鎊。
"When I saw the money, I thought, trouble is here. I was sure there was at least $200,000 in the bag," Mr Sia said in an interview with the Singapore Straits Times.
「當我看到那些錢，我想，麻煩大了。我深信袋子裡至少有20萬元，」謝嘉典在接受新加坡海峽時報訪問時說。
He immediately took the stash of thousand-dollar bills to the local lost property office. He and his colleagues counted it and discovered how much was really there.
他立刻把這一大疊千元紙鈔交給當地的失物招領辦公室，他與同事合力清點，才發現總共有多少錢。
"The money is unimportant to me. It doesn’t belong to me, so how can I use it?’’ he said to the newspaper.
「這些錢對我來說並不重要。那不是我的，所以我怎能動用？」他告訴該報。
According to local media reports, the driver has been rewarded for his honesty and will be given an award by his company.
據當地媒體報導，這名司機因其誠實獲得獎勵，所屬公司將頒獎表揚。
