Not true. The Basic Law actually only mentions Chinese as one of the official language. It does not explicitly mention Cantonese actually.
Oh, and another thing taxi drivers tend to overcharge are undersized bags in cabin. IIRC it's as big as cabin bags in HKG - I've told them to measure bags and I would pay accordingly.
And the so-called complaints will just get brushed aside anyways - people should take it to the police. you might need some ways to show you have the right taxi however, and a few hours for the statement.
