SINGAPORE, July 16 (The Straits Times/ANN): Mr J. Koh was resting with his eyes closed in a bus en route to Genting Highlands when a sudden collision sent him hurtling face first into the seat in front, leaving him with a blood-soaked mask and a fractured nose.

"Everything in the bus was a mess, my mask felt wet and I figured there was probably blood flowing out," said the 41-year-old Singaporean.
