Gerik bus crash: JPJ to open IP to take legal action against bus operator
GERIK — The Road Transport Department (JPJ) is opening an investigation paper (IP) to take legal action against the operator of the bus involved in the crash on the Gerik-Jeli East-West Highway (JRTB) last Monday, which claimed the lives of 15 Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) students. Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook said legal action could be taken against the bus company concerned for failing to operate according to the stipulated rules and regulations. 'There have been past cases where we brought bus operators to court. Even though they were not the drivers, as the owners of the bus company, they too hold responsibilities. 'In this case, I think it is appropriate for JPJ to open an investigation paper and after that it will be referred to the Attorney-General's Chambers for further action,' he said during a visit to the site of the tragedy here today. According to Loke , the bus company failed to comply with the mandatory components of the JPJ Inspection and Safety Audit (JISA). He said among the seven mandatory components of JISA include the need for a safety supervisor in the company and the installation of GPS to monitor vehicle speed. 'The GPS was not activated. Also, the maximum eight-hour driving limit must be adhered to by the driver, but this was not monitored by the company. 'Another is the requirement for a 30-minute break after every four hours of driving for the driver, GPS installed in all vehicles, having an emergency action plan and the company hotline…all of these components failed to be complied with,' he said. Earlier, Acting Gerik police chief DSP Muhammad Firdaus Abdullah said the owner of the bus company was at the Gerik District Police Headquarters (IPD) at 10.30 pm yesterday to give his statement. — BERNAMA

Loke warns bus driver in fatal UPSI crash: Don't make unverified claims about brake failure
GERIK, June 12 — Transport Minister Anthony Loke has cautioned the bus driver involved in the fatal crash that killed 15 Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) students here against making unverified claims about the vehicle's condition. The Star Online reported Loke as saying, the driver's statement that the bus's brakes had failed was yet to be confirmed through technical inspection by Puspakom. 'I'm not sure if the driver made the claim to protect himself, but it cannot be taken at face value,' Loke reportedly told reporters after visiting the crash site and inspecting the vehicle at the Gerik district police headquarters today. 'I want to remind the driver not to say things that may not be true. These matters can be verified through mechanical tests,' he said. He added that Puspakom had completed a brake system inspection and the results are expected within the next two days.

Loke also used the incident to remind all public transport operators to conduct their own internal inspections and safety audits, known as JISA, before the Road Transport Department (JPJ) steps in. 'JISA is not new. Operators are aware of it, but compliance remains weak,' he said. Loke said the ministry would strengthen enforcement of JISA and carry out large-scale inspections across all public transport operators, including bus and lorry services.
