in the rearview mirror: Lim Cheng Teck

A video meant to accompany a feature article on taxi van driver, Mr. Lim Cheng Teck, who has been driving the streets of his home, Pulau Ubin, for more than half of his life.

​

Known online as the man who tames the wild boars, this special taxi driver shares what it was like growing up in a part of Singapore that remains wild and unfamiliar to many these days. 

​

Pulau Ubin has seen many plans of redevelopment fall through and today it still stands as a place that many visit for leisure.

​

This place was once home to a community which has dwindled to fewer than 20 who live on the island.

​

Although Mr Lim no longer lives on the island, he recounts fond memories, sharing the joy of his home to every visitor and patron he meets.
