JOHOR BARU: Bus driver K. Muniandy was on a bus stuck in a traffic jam when he got a call from his wife telling him that the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where his child was warded at had caught fire.

“I instantly went into panic mode but I could only wait anxiously as our bus was caught in a jam that I presumed was related to the fire,” said the 49-year-old who had been taking a city bus from Masai where he works to Hospital Sultanah Aminah to visit his daughter Kaliama, 23, every day.
