The Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) has received various recommendations from relevant parties on measures to prevent tragedies like the crash which claimed the lives of 15 Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) students, early Monday morning.

Its minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir said that among the suggestions received was a proposal for university students to travel during the day, instead of at night, to enhance safety.

“Some have suggested that university students and undergraduates should travel during the day rather than at night, to enhance safety,” he told the media after the ‘Luncheon Talk with Editors’ session, in conjunction with the Asean-Malaysia Chairmanship 2025, at his ministry, here, yesterday.

Zambry also said that he had been informed of a separate accident involving an express bus, early yesterday morning, which reportedly had students from Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA) among its passengers.

“I only received information about the accident this morning. Fortunately, there were no injuries,” he said.

In the tragic incident early Monday morning, 15 UPSI students lost their lives when the bus they were traveling in overturned at KM53 of the East-West Highway (JRTB), near Tasik Banding, Gerik.

Meanwhile, media reported that 28 passengers, including 13 UMPSA students, survived after their express bus crashed into the rear of a trailer at KM161.5 of the East Coast Highway (LPT), eastbound, shortly after midnight Monday night.

Bodoh. Instead of banning travel times, maybe do your fucking jobs to vet the busses and lorries are road worthy and the drivers aren't repeat road offence offenders. Hello even fru guys died during day time. What weed you on bro

We should just ban all traffics from 12pm to 6am.

those incompetent people will started to raise voice after the accident, introducing stupid ideas...whereas all the while they just goyang telur makan gaji buta.

later, got accident in daytime, then no more travelling ? online study?

who are the relevant parties? /k expert?

Work on the bus operators and bus drivers credential's la how permits are issued to only the well worked and proven deserving only, non selective procurement and enforcement, improve efficiency etc etc NOT ban nor restrict this that.

Not logic la restrict students travel to day travel only. Students cannot die other commuters can die can travel at night. A bright day will naturally prevent dumb drivers from speeding and road menace? Zombies ka!!

Mandate OTS intoxication test on drivers before and after each long distance road trip at bus terminals nationwide for a start. You will be surprised

Typical bush fire fighting and knee jerking

Not as if people have many choices when it comes to mode of transport or departure times.

enhance what safety just by banning night travel?

even daylight also can crash la if busbodo driver drive like a fcking formula F1, sei sohai minister no brainer

knee jerking effect going into full force

so typical

Yes, this is the way. If all else fails, just ban it. No need to put so much effort into something.

So others ok to die? Dumb fuks.

Guys, we not first day in Malaysia…. Hahaha

I wonder who is the relevant parties, I mean how stupid and dumb someone can be to suggest such things.

Truth is, *most* deadly accidents afaik happen at night. It's understandable why this is so.

I avoid driving between 2-6 am. This is where, imo, human alertness is at its lowest.

However, to suggest students avoid travelling at night by buses without offering alternative modes of transport is not going to help.

Reduce speed limit and more road block at night more practical.

later ban bus je

Banning bus travels at night? Good luck implementing that ya. Will kena serbu left right centre for this.

why does this sounded like america's gun issue?

So, primary n secondary school trips cannot travel far after this cos night bus cannot travel. Can only go nearby places which is fine w me
