While at it, make sure that the lorries, buses and other commercial vehicles stick to the last lane instead of hogging the few middle lanes. When speed limits are at 90/80/70 at certain stretches for cars, these commercial vehicles' speed should be reduced accordingly and not allowed to be driving at the same speed of cars at these stretches. This operation by JPJ/Police should be conducted regularly, not just when a mishap happens.

[@abmuis]

The JPJ must also take responsibility for the accident. As usual the Minister and police will talk after a mishap as if they have no role in the accident. How could the bus be on the road for so many months without being noticed. I think the MACC must also open investigation from the angle of corruption.

Unlike long distance bus service, the Genting bus route is tourist centric, and the authority has not given the same attention as the other long distance route bus service. And because the Genting route is lucrative, it has attracted many players who may not put safety first. One just need to go to Stesen Sentral to see for yourself how chaotic the system is. The buses do not have proper parking bay, no proper information display, the ticket booth is just a temporary pondok, no seating facilities for waiting passengers, many touts just roam the place preying on unsuspecting passengers. During holidays seasons, these buses are put to work to the maximum without very little regulatory oversight. Transport ministry should not just talk about licence and papers. This is an accident waiting to happen for a long time already.

Vehicular safety enforcements are always lacking in public and heavy vehicles. Speeding drivers and faulty public vehicles are often the main cause of road accidents. Enforcers must play its roles seriously while the law must punish these public and heavy vehicle operators with higher penalties both fine and jail terms. Most importantly stop all kind of collusion with corrupt enforcers.

[@MalcolmFMQ]

Ad hoc operation is useless. A few months later, this incident will occur again. It is about time the MoT comes up a program for continuous monitoring. Do that every now and then to ensure this will never happen in the future. Also, many government departments do spot checks on many companies for everything. Why no such procedure on buses and trucks? This is the preventive measure, not trying to close the barn only after the horses had left. Futile exercise.
