A bus driver was allegedly “manhandled” by a group of workers while transporting them back to their dormitory.
In a Sept 13 Facebook post, user Jitesh Dhillon uploaded videos showing a group of workers apparently involved in a physical altercation inside and outside a chartered bus.
A screenshot from the bus’s CCTV footage also showed a worker grabbing the driver by the face.
Speaking to Stomp, bus driver Cai Zhi Feng said he had been pushed, dragged and “manhandled” by the group of workers.
Since the incident on Sept 13, the 40-year-old said he still feels a “lingering fear and deep unease”.

Workers were allegedly ‘heavily intoxicated’
Recounting what happened, Cai said he was under a two-year contract with the chartered bus company and had been assigned to transport the group of workers between Jurong Penjuru Dormitory and Woodlands Link for a company gathering.
He said the journey to Woodlands Link at 10.30am went smoothly.
However, on the drive back to the dormitory at around 4pm, Cai claimed that many of the workers were “heavily intoxicated” and that there was no supervisor on board.
After a while, he said the workers began arguing. Shortly after the bus departed, the conflict escalated into a brawl, which he said severely affected his ability to drive safely.
“I urged them to stop but no one listened,” he said.
Scenes from a video posted by Dhillon show workers in green polo shirts shouting and shoving one another inside the bus. One man can be seen trying to calm another down.
