'We survived… but I still can't talk about it' – Alza driver on Gerik tragedy
BALING: The driver of the Perodua Alza involved in the fatal collision with a tour bus near Tasik Banding, Gerik, on Monday remains traumatised and has yet to recount the incident in full. "I still vividly remember what happened that day, but I still can't talk about it," said Mohd Lutfi Radzi, 37. On that fateful day, he was travelling with his wife, Nurul Ain Zakaria, 36, and their two children — Nur Aisyah Nafishah, 6, and Muhammad Ahsan Nafis, 2 — when the collision occurred along the East-West Highway. The family was returning to their home in Parit Panjang after celebrating Hari Raya Aidiladha in Terengganu. Speaking briefly at Baling Hospital, where the family is receiving treatment, Lutfi said he remembered the moments leading up to the crash but could not recall what happened immediately afterwards. "One of my children was thrown from the vehicle… but I'm thankful that we all survived," he said, adding that he had been chatting with his wife shortly before the collision. Lutfi, a teacher at Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Malau in Baling, and Nurul Ain, who teaches at SK Tembak, are reported to be in stable condition. Their daughter, Nur Aisyah Nafishah, suffered a fracture to her right thigh and will require surgery, while Nurul Ain sustained broken ribs and remains under close observation. Orthopaedic specialist Dr Asri Zuzairudin Mohd Ali said both Lutfi and their son had stabilised and are continuing treatment at the hospital. "All four family members are still undergoing care here," he said. The Kedah State Education Department is monitoring the couple's condition. Senior assistant director (Schools Unit) Wan Norazman Zainol said the department would ensure the family received any necessary support during their recovery. The crash occurred in the early hours of Monday when a tour bus carrying 42 Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) students collided with the Alza. The students were travelling from Jerteh, Terengganu, to the university's main campus in Tanjung Malim, Perak. Fifteen students were killed in the accident.

Melaka to improve lighting at blackspot areas to prevent road crash
MELAKA: The Melaka government is identifying accident-prone 'blackspot' areas, particularly in rural locations, as part of efforts to prevent recurring road tragedies. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh said that statistics by the state police Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) showed that 68 fatal road accidents and 7,871 cases of road crashes were recorded from January to April this year. 'Therefore, the state government will improve the lighting in the affected areas to improve the safety of road users,' he said at the state administration's monthly assembly at the Melaka International Trade Centre (MITC) Ayer Keroh here today. Ab Rauf said that 131 cases of housebreaking and 16 cases of child abuse were also recorded during the same period. He said Mobile Road Block operations in targeted areas, as well as the Integrated Crime Prevention Operation, which involves the cooperation of other enforcement agencies, were being carried out to increase the effectiveness of monitoring and control in high-risk areas. This resulted in the arrest of 73 suspects in 58 housebreaking cases, he said. Meanwhile, Ab Rauf said the state government is committed to strengthening the education sector through various programmes and initiatives aimed at improving the quality of learning and facilities at all levels. 'Alhamdulillah, the federal government has approved projects to renovate and upgrade 25 schools in Melaka. The projects will be implemented in stages,' he said. The schools include Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Bandar Hilir, SK Bukit Beruang, SK Bukit Rambai, SK Limbongan, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Tinggi Perempuan, SMK Bukit Baru and SMK Ghafar Baba.
