[QUOTE="okow, post: 223605, member: 14"] I beg to differ. Bus crashes are relatively common in Malaysia, although such high fatalities in one accident is uncommon. On our highways and especially on the Genting Highlands road. You would always read the same old excuses from the drivers and authorities, brake fail la, lorry parked in the emmergency lane without hazard lights la, driver sleepy or high on drugs la, etc...
