APAD Revokes Lorry Company License After Fatal FRU Accident

A tragic accident involving a lorry carrying stones claimed the lives of nine members of the Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) on May 13, 2025, in Teluk Intan, Perak, Malaysia. The Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) responded swiftly, launching an investigation that uncovered critical safety violations by the company operating the lorry. "The company failed to comply with safety regulations and prioritized profit over road user safety," stated an APAD official. The subsequent revocation of the company's license serves as a stark warning to all transport operators to prioritize safety. The incident highlights the urgent need for stricter enforcement of safety regulations to prevent similar tragedies in the future. The loss of nine FRU members is a profound tragedy, and APAD's decisive action offers a glimmer of hope for improved road safety measures.
