Even after the emergency was over, the incident continued to weigh on his mind. For the next two nights, he struggled to fall asleep, worrying about the bus captain’s condition.<\/p>\n
“Hearing them say he’s awake and is well, I felt really relieved,” he said.<\/p>\n
When the incident started appearing in headlines, Ms Neo and Ms Ng began receiving related articles and posts from families and friends.<\/p>\n
Neither had initially intended to identify themselves, they told CNA \u2013 but Ms Ng eventually did so at the encouragement of the people around her, while Ms Neo’s cousin came forward on her behalf.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think we needed any appreciation. It could have gone unknown \u2026 (but) it’s nice to be appreciated, of course,” said Ms Ng, who works in food manufacturing.<\/p>\n
Instead of sharing about the incident publicly, she recalls recounting the ordeal \u2013 which had spanned about 30 minutes \u2013 to friends after in a group chat.<\/p>\n
As for Ms Neo, her first instinct upon catching another bus home was to text her mother about the incident.<\/p>\n
She told CNA that witnessing the driver’s medical distress had made her feel “very sad” afterward. The first thing she did when she got home: “Hug my ah gong and my ah ma,” she said, referring to her grandfather and grandmother.<\/p>\n
“I went to give them a big hug, then we went out for a meal.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
