"TAIPING: One of the country's worst road accidents, which occurred in the wee hours of yesterday on the North-South Expressway near here, was a disaster waiting to happen.

The driver had 13 traffic summonses - some still outstanding - and two warrants of arrest against him while the 20-year-old bus, which also had 19 summonses, did not even have the permit to ply the route.

The passengers of the bus, bound for Alor Star from Malacca, never stood a chance against such a poor record - 19 of them were killed along with the 37- year-old driver. Nine others including a three-yearold boy are in hospital, some in critical condition. "

How many times we read this? When all this accidents will stop? Why all the talks start again when only there's accident? Last year, promises were made to improve but for one year nothing has been done. All this could be prevented if measures are taken. I feel sad for the victims and the driver shouldn't be there at the first place.
