A cab driver like Gan See Kiet is a rare find. That’s because despite working 15 hours a day, Gan makes it a point to spare a thought for the less fortunate by waiving their fares. In fact, the 52-year-old also sets aside some money for charity each month.

Affectionately known as Uncle Gan, the cabbie believes in sowing seeds of happiness.
