Ronnchee Clutched February 21, 2013 Share February 21, 2013 SBS should make yearly med checkup a compulsory for the drivers. Just imagine such accident happens, and at the risk of the commuters and other road users. Stop thinking of the profit margin plzzz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heart attacks can happen to anyone of any age. You should be asking why an old man in his 60s is still working so hard as a bus driver. Whose fault is it?

Tjkbeluga 5th Gear February 21, 2013 Share February 21, 2013 someone who is fit and exercise 3 time a week can also kena mah The answer is YES.... Even if indeed he is in the high risk. As an employer, what can they do? Don't hire ppl with heart attack risk? Do you actually know how heart attack is diagnosed? A person who are about to get heart attack can have perfectly normal ECG... Only angiogram can fully confirm the blockage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
