Unwanted phone calls are out of control. Whether it's a robocall trying to sell you something or spam calls from scammers trying to rip you off, it's enough to make you want to stop answering your phone. So what can you do to stop them?

BEIJING : A Japanese online influencer has complained about being discriminated against by a Singapore an taxi driver who mistook her as Chinese.

She said the “old driver” at the taxi rank was impatient with her and her friend, who was seeing her off, because she spoke Mandarin with him. “The most stupid people in the world are those who generalise,” she said, interpreting the driver’s sudden politeness as a “racist” stereotype that all Japanese are polite.

Another said: “Drivers here are not service-oriented and professional. A lot of them have bad experiences with loud, rude and entitled tourists from China, which may explain his prejudice, but there is no excuse to be rude to you like this.”
