Getting stuck in traffic daily increases risk of chronic mental health issues


KUALA LUMPUR: Leaving her house in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, as early as 6.15am for the 60-kilometre travel to her office in the Federal capital here has become a routine for civil servant Aida Ismail, 35.

Even a slight delay, will see her arriving at her office later than 9am. In all, she spends about six hours on the road daily to commute between her house and office, arriving home only at 9pm, which by then, her only child is normally fast asleep.
