JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said the department had received a report on the incident.
'Yes, we've received the report, and the accident is being investigated by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM).
'JPJ will conduct a JISA on the bus operator and take further action once the audit report is received,' he told Sinar Harian today.
The accident yesterday left three pupils and a teacher injured after the bus veered off the road and crashed into a tree.
The incident reportedly occurred at around 12.18pm. The bus, carrying 30 pupils and five teachers from Pusat Asuhan Tunas Islam (Pasti) Ampang, was on its way from a chocolate factory to the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (Maeps).
Serdang district police chief Assistant Commissioner Muhamad Farid Ahmad said the 44-year-old bus driver is believed to have lost control of the vehicle, causing it to skid to the left side of the road.
The local driver has been detained for investigation under Section 42 of the Road Transport Act 1987.

Secret Nvidia Chip Smuggling Ring Busted -- $1M Payment Traced to China Sparks U.S. Crackdown
Two Chinese nationals have been arrested on charges of smuggling Nvidia's (NASDAQ:NVDA) most powerful AI chips to Chinadespite strict U.S. export controls designed to keep them out of Beijing's hands. According to the Justice Department, Chuan Geng and Shiwei Yang allegedly used a shell company in CaliforniaALX Solutions send Nvidia H100 chips through Singapore and Malaysia, without obtaining the required export licenses. Records show they never received payments from their Southeast Asian partners, but instead collected large sumslike a $1 million transfer in January 2024from buyers in Hong Kong and mainland China. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. The H100s, until recently Nvidia's flagship AI accelerators, require U.S. government approval before being sold to countries considered national security risks. Authorities claim the duo falsely labeled shipments as compliant, despite not having the green light from the Commerce Department. Nvidia, for its part, said it primarily works with trusted partners and that any diverted chips would lack service, updates, or support. Internal messages found on seized devices allegedly show the defendants discussing how to move restricted hardware through third countries, in what investigators believe was a deliberate attempt to circumvent U.S. controls. The case lands at a time when Washington is tightening the screws on China's access to cutting-edge semiconductors. While some headline chip deals grab attention, this case shows the U.S. is just as focused on backdoor smuggling by smaller players. One of the accused is a permanent U.S. resident, while the other is reportedly out of visa status. A judge has released Geng on bond, and a detention hearing for Yang is scheduled for August 12. If convicted, they could face up to 20 years in prison. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
