Express bus accident again!
I am saddened of reading over and over the news about express bus crashed, which recently happened on Tue, 14th Apr (theStar). It is not the first time we hear this news. Based on the investigations reported, the driver and co-driver have eight and six summonses respectively! Six lives have lost and many injured due to the collision, one of them is pregnant woman. Why does our Government has done nothing seriously especially against the bus operator company. My point of view is that the authority should check regularly on the bus company of their quality services rendered and drivers record if any summonses ever issued to them. The government should enforce strict regulations to the bus operating company, to ensure the drivers hired must have valid driving licences and clean record. The company also must play their important roles. However by looking at this case, it is obviously the bus company neither act nothing nor take any action after the drivers who have old summonses record and still allow them to drive on the road. It is very clear to judge that these reckless drivers have bad driving attitudes on the road. At the end of the day, after many lives have lost and injured, then only by blaming each other.This is very pathetic of human attitudes.
I used to drive often to outstation, mostly Penang for job assignment. I have seen many and most of the time the express buses are just faster than my car, even as I drive at 110km/h. I definitely worry for those passengers' safety inside the bus.

Be alert and careful
I just read a post today from Hannah Yeoh blog, that she also personally encountered unexpected thing happened to her this morning. I could not believe it this incident can be happened to her though she is a Subang Jaya State Assemblyman
From her blog: " This morning at about 9:25am, I was driving alone, along USJ 11/1G and I was driving very slowly because of a road hump and as I looked right, I saw a Chinese man on a motorbike right next to me and he was about to take a weapon from underneath his shirt to attack me. I could not see if it was a pistol, a knife or a hammer and all I could do at that time was to honk continuously. The loud honk caused him to turn away and I sped off, drove straight to the shops nearby and rang Chief Inspector Loi. I was only thinking of the next person he would be after in the neighbourhood and so I rang SJ Alert to notify the residents. I hope his motive was robbery and not something else. I thank God for keeping me safe. Please observe your surroundings at all times and be alert."
I strongly feel that we must pay attention and alert when we are driving, especially those area near the traffic lights, parking bays or simply when stop your car just to buy something in the convenient shop. We must pray to God continuously for his protection and blessing, whether outside or inside the house. Untill today I still see some people keeps their children in the car with the engine running while they go to the shop. How irresponsible act of this parents! Don't they read the news what had already happened?
