Land Public Transport Agency revokes lorry firm's licence over Teluk Intan crash that killed nine FRU personnel
The revocation of Tashveen Trading's operator license is effective May 29, 2025.
'With the revocation of the operator's license, the company is not permitted to operate or provide any services using any vehicles licensed under that operator's license,' APAD stated in a press release today.
APAD's investigation also found that the company failed to comply with the Industrial Code of Practice (ICOP) safety requirements, failed to ensure the Global Positioning System (GPS) was functional and had expired, was carrying loads that violated the type of goods specified in the vehicle's permit, and did not prioritize the safety of other road users.
APAD wants to emphasize its stance that it will never compromise on any dangerous driving offences by public land transport vehicles that cause accidents and can threaten the safety of road users.
'APAD also wishes to advise all licensed operators to comply with the license conditions set from time to time to avoid undesirable incidents, which could then lead to license revocation,' APAD said.
In the incident at 8.50am on May 13, an FRU lorry carrying 18 personnel from Unit 5, based in Sungai Senam, Ipoh, was involved in a collision with a stone-laden lorry while on its way back after completing duties for the Chitrapournami celebration in Teluk Intan. The accident also resulted in two serious injuries and seven other injuries. — Bernama

I'll think about it, says KJ after Akmal offers to help with Umno return
Khairy Jamaluddin (left) said he will consider Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh's offer to help facilitate his return to Umno. KUALA LUMPUR : Khairy Jamaluddin has responded coolly to Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh's offer to help facilitate his return to the party. 'That's very nice of him,' he said briefly to reporters when met at a product launch event today. 'I'm thankful for his comments and support, and I'll certainly consider it.' Yesterday, Akmal said he was open to facilitating the return of suspended and sacked Umno leaders such as Khairy, Hishammuddin Hussein and Shahril Hamdan. 'Those who were disciplined had contributed in ways we cannot forget. That's why I say unity in Umno is crucial, and that unity cannot come from just one side,' he was quoted as saying. Akmal also said those who had been suspended or sacked must set aside their egos if they truly cared about the party. Khairy, himself a former Umno Youth chief and ex-Rembau MP and health minister, was sacked from Umno in January 2023 over alleged disciplinary breaches. The Sembrong Umno division has also passed a resolution urging the party leadership to lift the suspension of Hishammuddin. However, the former Umno vice-president has hinted that he will not appeal his suspension as he had not been officially informed of his wrongdoing.
