In today's hectic society, multi-tasking is a highly valued skill.

But it's not so impressive when you're a bus driver behind the wheel of a vehicle filled with passengers.

He was reading a newspaper when the bus stopped at a traffic light, said a passenger who took a photo.

The 18-year-old Ngee Ann Polytechnic student who wanted to be known only as Mr Tan, said that he was on his way home to Yishun on bus service 167 when the incident took place at about 5pm on Monday.

“It’s outrageous because he really shouldn’t be doing that. I was also annoyed because it’s quite complacent of him to think that he could get away with reading the papers and think that nobody would notice when he’s in a bus with so many passengers,” he said.
