Condolences to families of the deceased in the bus crash near Bukit Gantang on August 13.
It’s reported that the deceased driver had 13 summonses and 2 arrest warrants in his name for various traffic offences. It’s easy to blame on the driver for the accident, but fact is multiple parties should be held responsible for the crash… the bus company, PUSPAKOM, JPJ, police, Ministry of Transport and Ministry of Human Resources etc.
Horrific bus accidents tend to happen in Malaysia every one or two years. Each time it happened, the government will jump out promising all countermeasures to prevent it from happening again… but it is still happening again and again and again. All those countermeasures were only empty talks, nothing much was actually done.
Don’t count on any improvements after this… chances are most people will forget about the accident a few days later; the government leaders will be among these peeps.
