Four injured in Bukit Sentosa bus crash; police cite brake failure
RAWANG: Three people, including a child, sustained minor injuries when a bus veered off the road and overturned in Jalan Tulip 3, Bukit Sentosa, today. Hulu Selangor police chief Superintendent Ibrahim Husin said the incident occurred about 11.30am. He said the 57-year-old driver was left unharmed, adding that there were only three passengers, aged 9, 17 and 38, at the time.

Kuantan cops put the brakes on 65 mat rempit, issue 194 summonses
KUANTAN: A teenager performing a 'wheelie' on his motorcycle was among 65 individuals detained during the "Op Khas Samseng Jalanan" operation conducted at various locations in the state capital yesterday. The 18-year-old suspect was performing the dangerous stunt near the Pantai Sepat Muslim burial ground when he was stopped by a team of policemen. Acting Kuantan police chief Superintendent Mohd Adli Mat Daud said a total of 194 summonses were issued, and 24 motorcycles were seized for various offences during the operation, held between 4pm and 11pm. "All the suspects were aged between 15 and 25. Besides participating in illegal racing, they were found to be riding without valid licences, using illegally modified motorcycles, displaying incorrect registration plates, and equipping their bikes with modified exhaust pipes. "The special operation was conducted following complaints from residents that illegal street racing activities were organised near their housing settlements," he said in a statement today. Adli said the 18-year-old suspect who performed the wheelie was detained for executing the stunt along a busy road, an act that endangered not only himself but also other road users. He said the teenager is being investigated for reckless driving under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, which carries a maximum jail sentence of five years and a fine of up to RM15,000. Meanwhile, Adli added that police will continue to carry out regular special operations to address the "mat rempit" issue and curb illegal street racing in the area. "We have identified several hotspots frequently used for illegal racing activities, including the stretch between Kampung Sungai Soi and Tanjung Lumpur here," he said.
