PETALING JAYA: Ever since the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) scare broke out in Singapore, bus driver M. Sugumaran (not his real name) has not left home without a bottle of disinfectant. 

Sugumaran – who stays in Johor Baru and travels daily to the island republic to work with a public transport company – comes into contact with thousands of people every day as he drives an air-conditioned bus covering various city routes.
