I hope someone is held accountable to this. Many of those lost or injured are young people. These people have bright future awaiting them.

Sad la for an athlete to be in this condition.

bus driver dead already so hard to find scape goat now

everyone's covering their asses. So the most convenient scape goat is the driver. he's dead and will not be able to defend himself.

I hope change can be made to public transport system and how it is run.

Let this be the last, hopefully

OMG! I love to play basketball too, and when I am injured and not able to play, its like hell for me. I can't imagine what he is going to feel when he wakes. Pity

lets say of the victim does not have personal insurance or any life insurance. When we take the express bus, do the bus have insurance for their passengers??

ayam sad..deep condolence to those who lost their lives.

At least still can play this.

sue d company n ask 10 million la

Kampung2005, you should promote more on train transport. Implement fast.

Everybody should stop taking bus. Boycot till they improve.

I think they should build electrified railway line from pulau sebang to malacca

Whatever is it. Just do it fast.

yeah kampung2005, ure too slow. hurry it up with all that proposal and what not...

All that for RM500. Not even enough to cover the surgery.

i think malaysian should start sue this bus company.. just like singaporean did.. even the pampasan only 1k..??!! waffak..

the mat driver also died iinm

how to change, every company want to maximize profit, put one driver drive 10 plus hours, how to not ngantuk

to be safe just try to avoid from embarking on night journey on interstate highways

The guy who accident so many time with bus express still take bus express? and now he dun want to take oredi because his hand is amputated...

so sad

Ini la kawan I. We played basketball together. I called one of his friends yesterday to confirm his condition as I heard got 3 fellas in hospital died.. He's okay but waist-down he is paralysed

waste time claiming the PA, just sue the bus company tat cause the damages and suffering.

the express bus are taller nowadays, and have even larger engines... during night time, they sometime race between busses! even at 140kmh i can't follow them!

lol, different fella la

Accident manyiak kali = student.

amputated = furniture shopkeeper/owner/apa2 je la.

Bus company gave only RM1000 < yes RM1k only to the DEAD = DECEASED. Wat can we expect to get from bus insurance under that company when they lose 1 arm? or legs? RM1000 divide by how many part of the body do we have?

paralysed will only get 500??

which is so....hurtful!

nope....both accident many times and now arms got amputated is the furniture shop staff

I heard delima only pay rm500 for injured one and rm1000 for death case

Yes....theyre like speeding motherships. Giving high beams like mad, even tailgating cars la.

I dunno why they have to give money when the amount is useless for anything.

Surviving passengers already testified that the driver was indeed speeding.

really need to go to the hell to beat the driver loh, push him further down few lvl in hell

one paralyzed another lose his arm .... it such a pain and definitely a deep scars for them....hope they move on with an optimistic attitude

he is like a rapist with d1ck got cut,

kesian

I would say we are too soon to blame the driver alone.

What if the company is giving the driver tight schedule which is almost impossible?

What if the company is encouraging him to speed and reach destination faster?

We must also check the driver profile. Is he speed all the time? Is he a careless driver?

We havent know it yet.

The gov must setup an independent investigation body to investigate this matter as almost all Malaysian travel by bus.

PLUS also can share responsibility if the guard rail proven low quality and if not provide enuf lighting at difficult cornering.

i thought its a straight road ...

do we have something like highway patrol

the law must change

Ada but every 10000000 km only you see one. On PLUS only. The Mitsubishi Storm in yellow with green checkered thingy. They're not exactly patrol but yeah, they can and should also be able to do the same as a patrol. Just that their mind is set to "Boss says go see got any problem on highway or not. Didn't order me to warn speeding drivers."

If not mistaken, the state government has suggested it earlier this year.

drive so fast for f***s?

How unfortunate for the student, lets pray for his recovery....

just saw that guy not long ago during our outing last time..he was still so active and after few weeks then sudd become half paralyzed!

life is fragile..btw, he's not having op today..i guess its next week

Delima express

oh well if u melakan.. everyone know this compnay have bad record

bus always breakdown middle of highway
driver very rude
and high accident record

I believe it is not the driver's fault.

Maybe other factors causing the tragic.

Such as there is a car accidently turned on its high beam light resulted the bus driver cant focus and so on...

Yes!
Vapeace do know which bus driver die during the crash?

I can recognize some of them esp the Chinese old uncle.

It's not the driver's fault,
if the driver was not speeding (i'm sure he is speeding)
if the driver had enough rest (which i bet he didn't have)
if other cars from other side hit it

btw, if other car turn on high beam, you still wont run to other side of the road - not even on federal road

The blame game would go nowhere. the government point here and there, we point here and there.

maybe the "someone" is fate, which should be blamed. shit happens all the time. depends on how we react/approach it and if there is truly something/someone watching over us during that split second.

sound like final destination to me

Police reports already said this driver has not even issued a speeding summon in his lifetime... Even for me, I have been issued 2 summon already despite not being a taxi or bus driver.

So I assumed the driver must be a careful driver.

2nd, if the driver have not enough sleep or rest, I 100% sure the police have already found out by today. (this factor is not difficult to be investigated).

There are many other factors... such as suddenly a fly or mosquito or other insects bit him or flied into his nose bla bla bla..

Why so fast conclude it is the driver's fault??

the bus driver is rot is hell now

heard is the indian unker !

ooh..... I saw one before, quite tall one.

manly tears almost drop when i read bout it this morning

whole passenger will dai 1 by 1. i know it.

its final destination 5: maresia bus

insurance company sure die one need to compensate all these... 3rd party injury > the riders inside the bus

Last time i took bus at night back to JB about 10yrs ago. No bus ticket already tat time and i cincai buy la ticket from those runner..
Have to wait to outside near the KotaRaya Maybank... come the bus.. wa... look solid sia... exactly like bus kilang..

Nvmlar as long got bus okla ...

Tat bus driver once reach highway drive like a hell rider.. damn fast... very fast indeed.. think about 150-170 km/hr
Even the highway lane broken white lines becomes straight lines because the bus speeding very fast.. can feel like the bus is like flying...

Cant sleep man.. coz heart beating fast coz worried with the way he drive..
The co-driver sleeping and the driver also seems like sleepy can see his head abit down and up few times..

Think back.. really luki tat time no accident.

very sad indeed SCI victim

i think every express bus needs a traffic police stationed inside..

Then that guy lost his arm cannot get fixed?

no la it's only 640pm

so it was his arm in the picture in the other thread.

Good news. Heard that the teen had undergone the operation, and is now able to stand and walk.

Thanks for the news!

It is good to see that he is able to stand and walk, that's a hope becomes true

oii..first time I heard a bus kilang can go 170km/h

I think the bus suspension was so unstable that 120km/h felt like 170!

plan to visit him this afternoon before his operation but sadly i have class to attend..yes..he's able to feel his leg again and after that have to depend his determination..well, im sure he will!!!
