Gerik bus crash: Taskforce established to investigate Gerik bus accident
The Bukit Aman Traffic Enforcement and Investigation Department director stated that the investigation team would be formed in collaboration with other technical teams.
The team will include officers from the Road Transport Department, Land Public Transport Agency, Puspakom, Health Ministry, and Public Works Department.
"We will set up a special technical team to assist in the investigation and complete the investigation paper as soon as possible so we can bring the driver to court.
"I advise the public, if you have any information about this incident, please come forward to the police or relevant authorities to assist with the investigation.
"Please do not just spread it on social media, as this will only add confusion and hinder our investigation," he told reporters at the Gerik hospital on Monday (June 9).
When asked if the bus driver had any previous road traffic offences, Mohd Yusri said they were still at the initial stage of the investigation.
"I can only say for now that we will complete the investigation paper and look into the matter thoroughly from all angles, so we can expedite the prosecution process in court smoothly and properly.
"The team will try to obtain all relevant reports on the bus, its condition, the driver, and so on. That's all the information I can provide for now," he added.
Mohd Yusri also urged the public to be more cautious while driving, especially during this festive period.
"Today is the final day of Ops Lancar, and we want to ensure the safety of everyone returning home to arrive safely at their destinations or homes," he added.

[UPDATED] Celeb & influencer finally pay up in RTD road tax saga
KUALA LUMPUR: A celebrity and a social media influencer, who had been under the Road Transport Department's (RTD) watch for failing to renew the road tax on their exotic vehicles, have now complied with the regulations. RTD senior enforcement director Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan said both individuals came forward today. "Checks revealed that one had not renewed their road tax for a year, while the other had failed to do so for two years. "Following our recent operations, many of these individuals have come forward to settle their road tax and insurance," he said when contacted. He added that those who had stepped forward included business tycoons and entrepreneurs. "The response has been encouraging. We urge others who have yet to renew their road tax and insurance to do so without delay. "Op Luxury will be conducted periodically to ensure all motorists comply with the law," he said, warning that surveillance, including the use of undercover officers, was part of their enforcement strategy. It was earlier reported that at least two celebrities were being monitored by the RTD for failing to renew the road tax and insurance on their luxury vehicles. Business tycoons and influencers are also on the list of those suspected of similar offences. According to intelligence, some of these individuals are registered owners of vehicles whose road tax is believed to have expired, although investigations indicate that the vehicles are not currently being driven on public roads. This is not the first time local celebrities have drawn RTD's attention over such violations. During the first phase of Op Luxury in June, a local actress's Porsche was among 101 luxury vehicles seized for not having valid road tax. The car was released after she renewed it on June 24. The public can report traffic violations via the MyJPJ app (e-Aduan) or by emailing aduantrafik@ with complete details. Op Luxury will continue to be carried out periodically to ensure only legal, safe and registered vehicles are allowed on Malaysian roads.

Ex-commando walks 10km daily to clean T'ganu beach
A FORMER commando in the special forces walks more than 10km a day to collect rubbish along a beach in Terengganu, Utusan Malaysia reported. Embong Ngah, also known as Che Yak, spends three to four hours daily as part of his routine, adding that it has become meaningful and a source of satisfaction. 'Ever since I had knee joint problems about five years ago, I can't walk much. But with exercise, I can now walk 10km. I take this chance to pick rubbish like containers and plastic bottles as I want to see a clean beach,' said Che Yak, 77, from Marang 'There are some who think I'm crazy as I do this alone, wearing worn out clothes and carrying a stick while walking. But I don't take it personally and continue my routine as usual,' he added. > A remote-control (RC) vehicle enthusiast has spent thousands of ringgit over the past 10 years collecting and producing replica RC lorries as part of his hobby, Harian Metro reported. Technician Mohammad Ridzuan Mohd Tahir, 36, said when he started his hobby, he only had one item, an RC lorry which costs RM4,500. 'Due to my deep interest, I was willing to spend money to expand my collection. 'Among them are an oil tanker, a tow truck, a double-decker Rapid Bus, a tractor and a Road Transport Department car, which are inspired by real models,' he said. Ridzuan also said he has a special track area at his home in Seri Kembangan, Selangor. 'I invested around RM20,000 to build this track. The satisfaction is hard to describe; the look, movement and sounds are realistic. It makes me feel like I'm actually driving the vehicle,' he said. > The daily also reported that a man's three decades of hard work went up in flames after a fire destroyed his homeopathy centre in Kuala Terengganu. Lukman Mamat, 68, said he was attending a gathering when his son called him and related the devastating news on Saturday. 'I rushed back and found the centre that had been operating since 1994 had burnt down. 'I sold various religious books, including books related to homeopathic treatment, at the centre. But nothing could be saved,' he added. Kuala Nerus fire station chief Azmi Omar said the fire was brought under control after 45 minutes, and the cause is still under investigation.

'Devil-may-care attitude': Road safety experts demand tougher action on unlicensed, uninsured drivers
KUALA LUMPUR: It's a prerequisite before getting behind the wheel, yet nearly eight million summonses have been issued to motorists for not having licences and insurance in less than five years. Data from the Road Transport Department (RTD) also revealed another troubling pattern — many of those fined did not even bother to rectify their offence. And now, road safety experts and victims of these irresponsible drivers want authorities to seize the vehicles of these errant drivers on the spot and even blacklist them from buying anything with an engine. ILLEGAL DRIVERS In statistics shared with the New Straits Times, the RTD revealed that it had issued 1,244,248 summonses to motorists for driving without a licence between 2021 and June this year. However, that total grew to 3,222,043 — almost three times — due to repeat offenders. The data also showed an increasing trend, with the first half of this year recording 645,615 summonses issued so far — just one more than the whole of last year. In an age-focused breakdown, motorists in the 17-25 group had racked up 868,548 summonses since 2021, just ahead of the 26-35 group (862,671). Another 570,174 offenders were 56 and above. DRIVING WITHOUT COVER In the same period, more than 1.04 million summonses had been issued to first-time offenders of insurance offences, and the number surged almost four-fold to 3.9 million — also due to repeat offenders. So far this year, 126,297 summonses were issued, but an age-based analysis saw the number soaring to 780,635 this year — more than six times. Since 2021, drivers in the 36-45 age group led the violation (890,954), surpassing even the 17-25 group (721,742). BEHIND THE BREACH RTD director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said many offenders cited financial constraints in getting a licence and insurance, but noted that ignorance and low awareness also played a part. Therefore, he said Program MyLESEN was introduced by the department to help those in the Bottom 40 (B40) income group get free licences. "The programme is the government's commitment to helping the B40 obtain driving licences and educating the public on the importance of following regulations. Our aim is to nurture competent road users," he said. TIME TO GET TOUGH However, Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (Miros) chairman Professor Wong Shaw Voon said there was a need to get tough on repeat offenders, including seizing their vehicles and blacklisting them from entering hire-purchase agreements. "Let them settle their licences or insurance first, and then come back to take their vehicles. "Of course, they (the authorities) will say it is very cumbersome to manage the seized vehicles, but it is a lesson for them (the offenders) to act instead of just getting a mere RM300 summons," he said. He said enforcement should be targeted — those who never had a licence, those who deliberately refuse to renew and those who genuinely forgot. "Those who never had a licence are the most critical group compared with those who simply overlooked renewal. "Enforcers may also want to visit schools and other areas where potential young offenders tend to gather," he said. Wong added that the RTD and insurance companies should optimise their data to tackle the issue, for example, by sending renewal reminders to motorists and making the process easier. "This will at least help the genuinely forgetful group. After all, imagine trying to remember a licence renewal date after 10 years — you could easily miss it," he said. Universiti Putra Malaysia Road Safety Research Centre head Associate Professor Dr Law Teik Hua said the high number of summonses reflected a systemic failure that puts law-abiding road users at risk. He described the current fines of RM300 for driving without a licence and RM150 for not having insurance as too low. He also suggested for the authorities to adopt an artificial intelligence-powered system to detect and penalise uninsured vehicles immediately. JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS Law also called for the implementation of a national compensation fund for victims of uninsured drivers. "The Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB) in the United Kingdom is one of the famous examples. It was created to help those injured by uninsured drivers or hit-and-run cases. "A tax on all insurance firms funds it, meaning every insured driver indirectly contributes to it. The MIB covers both personal injuries and property damage, and it can recover the cost later from the driver responsible," he said. Law noted that some American states also required drivers to carry an "Uninsured Motorist Coverage" as part of their insurance. In Canada, he cited the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund, a government-run programme that helps when parties involved in a crash had no insurance. Law added that Australia had a similar mechanism called the "Nominal Defendant Scheme". "The organisation is responsible for compensating victims of uninsured or untraceable drivers. Fees from vehicle registrations or motor insurance are used to fund this scheme. "It covers medical care, rehabilitation, income replacement and death benefits, ensuring that accident victims aren't left without help due to another's carelessness," he said.
