Quote from the Straits Times.
Mr Sia, a 31-year veteran in the taxi business thought that "he was sure there was at least $200,000 in the bag,"
After reporting the money to the taxi transport company ComfortDelGro's lost-and-found office, his colleagues counted Sg$1.1 million in thousand-dollar bills. (I am sure the figure must have shocked him as Who would have been so careless as to drop a 1.1 million dollar - singApraise )

"The money is unimportant to me. It doesn't belong to me, so how can I use it?" he told the newspaper.
The Thai couple who had reported the loss to the transport company, met Mr. Sia when they arrived to claim the money.

The grateful Thai Couple presented Mr Sia with an undisclosed cash reward and the company Comfort will be giving him an award for his honesty.
"Finding one million dollars in cash is not an everyday affair and in fact, we wonder how many people would have possibly been tempted" to pocket it, company spokeswoman Tammy Tan told AFP.
"We are immensely proud of him and are glad that the passengers recovered their money."
