<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->ON A fully booked SilkAir flight from Penang to Singapore on Wednesday, seated on my right was a male passenger who sneezed frequently without a care for personal hygiene like covering his nose with his hand, a handkerchief or tissue paper. On my left side, another passenger sneezed loudly likewise.
