From previous reports:

The 55-year-old driver had been ferrying foreign workers from Race Course Road back to their dormitories in Tuas for years, said his colleagues at transport company BT&Tan Transport.

They know him as Ah Huat and described him as a quiet man who kept mostly to himself.

"Ah Huat has been with the company for over 10 years. It is the first time that such an incident has happened," said a co-worker who declined to be identified.

Mr Lee had been investigated for causing death by a negligent act.

The bus Mr Lee drove had allegedly hit Mr Sakthivel Kumaravelu, 33, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

The accident on Dec 8, 2013, sparked a riot in Little India by 400 people, who burnt emergency vehicles and injured dozens of Home Team officers.
