15 Students Killed in Malaysian Bus Crash Prompts Night Travel Ban Proposal

A bus accident in Malaysia claimed the lives of 15 university students early Monday morning. The tragedy occurred on the East-West Highway near Tanjung Banding, Perak. The Ministry of Higher Education (KPT) is now considering a ban on nighttime travel for university students. "Following the accident, we've received various suggestions and proposals for improvement from stakeholders," said Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr. Zamri Abdul Kadir. The proposal to limit student travel to daytime hours is one of the measures under consideration. The KPT is actively reviewing the suggestions to prevent similar tragedies in the future. In a separate incident, another accident involving University of Malaya students occurred early Monday. According to an official, "The information about the accident was only received on Tuesday morning." Despite the accidents, no students suffered injuries in the second incident. The government's commitment to improving road safety and student well-being is paramount.
