bus crash no more

Saturday, February 02, 2008

I know this may come as a little late, it's regarding that Slim River Bus Crash that happened the other day. The Star's report here on one of the three victims - Lee Nian Ning.

The bus driver had 13 summonses. THIRTEEN. FREAKING. SUMMONSES.

What the heck was he doing behind the wheel, with so many people's lives in his hands?! Wasn't there some hoo-ha over reckless bus drivers a while back?? Whatever happened to looking into the matter and resolving the issue?!

This is ridiculous. Yes I know accidents happen, but it's not all the time they're unavoidable. That driver shouldn't have been allowed to drive in the first place - that would probably have made a difference.

Reading the report on Lee Nian Ning the other day saddened me, and it also hit me that it could have been any of my friends who travel to and fro from uni to their hometowns by bus quite often. *knock on wood*

Yet the whole reckless bus drivers issue doesn't seem to be getting anywhere near dibendung. A petition has been set up - buscrashnomore, so do go over and have a look. Something has to be done, we need to make this heard.
