Govindasamy Silambarasan says ferrying workers in the back of his vehicle is safe most of the time.
A bus would be safer, but Mr Simbu, 34, noted that this may not be feasible as workers at different construction sites end work at different times. Those who end work earlier may have to wait for a long time for other passengers before the bus takes all of them back to their dormitory. The issue of workers being ferried in the back of lorries came back into the spotlight following two lorry accidents last month that resulted in more than 30 people being sent to hospitals.Singapore business groups warn of 'complexities', more traffic jams if firms banned from ferrying workers on back of lorries
Mr Elumalai, 35, said he has seen such drivers on the road, but he does his part to reduce the risk of accidents.
