[QUOTE="okow, post: 229993, member: 14"] This was Tuesday's news. These poor souls came here to make a living (although illegally) and died in the hands of our authorities...why I say that, read further....apparently the 20 year old co-bus driver doesnt even have a driving licence. KDN should be held responsible for contracting such irresponsible operators...lets see if they'd dare reveal the identity of the stakeholders of these bus operators. [B]Five killed in bus crash[/B] (Updated) By TUNKU SHAHARIAH and NORLIA RAMLI [B]BALING[/B]: Five people - four illegal Myanmar immigrant detainees and a bus co-driver - died on the spot when the bus they were travelling swerved into a ravine near here. Forty-two other illegal immigrant detainees, all Myanmar nationals, including four women on board sustained injuries in the 4.30pm accident at Batu 8, Tanjung Pari in Baling-Kelantan Highway Tuesday. The deceased co-driver is identified as Mohd Faizal Abdullah, 20, from Seberang Pumpong, Alor Star. Driver Halim Mat, 46, also from the same place in Alor Star is critically injured. Together with them was an immigration officer Yahaya Shaikh Salleh from Alor Star, who sustained minor injuries. Of the 42 detainees, 11 were critically injured and in serious condition while the others sustained minor injuries. Two were admitted at Alor Star Hospital, one in Sungai Petani and the others here. The immigrants were aged between 40 and 44. They were enroute to a detention camp in Rantau Panjang, Kelantan from the detention camp in Belantik, Sik, near here, when the accident happened. Baling OCPD Supt Mat Daud Mat Hassan said they were travelling in a school bus when the bus swerved and landed in a ravine, adding that the driver was said to have lost control before the accident. He said the Myanmar embassy had been notified. Halim Mat said he was driving down the slope when he saw a stationary lorry parked in the middle of the road. He said the immigration officer on board alerted him about the lorry infront. “I told him I will try and save but skidded into the ravine,” he said when interviewed at the Baling Hospital.
