Its Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir said that among the suggestions received was a proposal for university students to travel during the day, instead of at night, to enhance safety. "Some have suggested that university students and undergraduates should travel during the day rather than at night, to enhance safety," he told the media after the 'Luncheon Talk with Editors' session, in conjunction with the Asean-Malaysia Chairmanship 2025, at his ministry, here, today. Zambry also said that he had been informed of a separate accident involving an express bus, early this morning, which reportedly had students from Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA) among its passengers. "I only received information about the accident this morning. Fortunately, there were no injuries," he said. In the tragic incident early yesterday morning, 15 UPSI students lost their lives when the bus they were traveling in overturned at Km53 of the East-West Highway (JRTB), near Tasik Banding, Gerik. Meanwhile, media reported that 28 passengers, including 13 UMPSA students, survived after their express bus crashed into the rear of a trailer at Km161.5 of the East Coast Highway (LPT), eastbound yesterday. – Bernama

A British waitress is going viral for being connected to the Royal family: All you need to know about her
Image credits: X A British waitress is going viral for her secret link to the Royal family and it is something you could have never guessed on your own. Lady Frances nee Armstrong-Jones is the youngest daughter of Lord Snowdon, the former husband of Princess Margaret and his wife Lucy Hogg, whom he married shortly after finalising his divorce. Frances was born seven months later to the couple. Her father, photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones was given the peerage of Lord Snowdon in 1961, a year after he married the Queen's younger sister, Princess Margaret. The couple welcomed two children, David, 63 and Lady Sarah Chatto, 61, who are the only cousins of King Charles and his three siblings on his mother's side. What does Lady Frances nee Armstrong-Jones do? Well, Lady Frances owns The Yellow Bittern, an eatery located just three miles away from Buckingham Palace. Opened in October 2024, the eatery is run by the 45-year-old along with her husband, chef Hugh Corcoran and bookseller Oisin Daves. What's unique about Lady Frances' eatery is the fact that it just has 18 seats you can book for one of the two Monday to Friday lunchtime sittings by telephone or postcard. Additionally, it is a cash-only establishment where there is no menu and the dishes for the day are written on a chalkboard. Frances' story of love Frances has not been away from the royal life. She was one of the bridesmaids during the wedding of her half-sister Lady Sarah Chatto which happened in 1994. In one of the photographs she can be seen in a frame that includes the late Queen. Her husband on the other hand is a Belfast-born Irish republican who dreams of cooking for the RMT trade unionists who have an office round the corner from their tiny restaurant. However, for them it's less of an opposites attract situation and more of a things in common ground. The duo has a similar approach to life and shares a love for a leisurely midday meal. Frances founded a magazine Her love for food and a long lunch is not limited to her restaurant. In 2017 Frances founded a food and lifestyle magazine Luncheon, which presents its readers with high culture, food and interesting conversations. She revealed to Vogue that Luncheon, which now operates in the same building as her restaurant, is "a cocktail of images, photographs, designs and illustration. And lots of conversations between a ninety-year-old artist and a 20-year-old photographer"
