JPJ to audit bus operator involved in UPM crash
KUALA LUMPUR: The Road Transport Department (JPJ) will carry out a Safety Inspection and Audit on the company whose bus was involved in an accident while transporting a kindergarten group along Jalan Persiaran Universiti 1, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) in Serdang recently. Its director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said JPJ received a report on the incident on Saturday (Aug 2) and has handed it over to the police for further investigation. "JPJ will conduct an audit and inspection of the bus operator and take further action once the audit report is completed,' he told Bernama on Sunday (Aug 3). On Saturday, Serdang district police chief ACP Muhamad Farid Ahmad said the incident occurred at around 12.18 pm and involved a bus carrying five teachers and 30 kindergarten children on an outing. Dashcam footage that went viral on social media showed the bus going out of control before veering off the road and crashing into a tree. Three children and one teacher sustained head injuries and were treated as outpatients at Serdang Hospital, while the bus driver was detained to assist in investigations under Section 42 of the Road Transport Act 1987. In a statement issued on Sunday, Muhamad Farid said the accident is believed to have been caused by the bus driver falling into a microsleep due to insufficient rest. He said the 44-year-old male driver has been remanded for two days starting today to assist in the investigations. Preliminary investigations also found that the driver was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the incident. "However, records show he has 13 traffic summonses registered under his name," he said. - Bernama

Post-mortem finds baby's skull fractured, repeated abuse by foster mum linked to crying, says acting KL police chief
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 3 — Police have confirmed that a seven-month-old baby girl found dead at a home in Bandar Sri Permaisuri, Cheras, last Thursday died from multiple injuries across her body. Acting Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Datuk Mohamed Usuf Jan Mohamad said a post-mortem revealed the infant had suffered a fractured skull. He said the injuries and death were the result of ongoing abuse over the past month. 'Investigations revealed that the injuries were caused after the baby cried incessantly, leading the foster mother to allegedly abuse her,' he told Utusan Malaysia. He added that the woman's husband works as a salesman, while she is a homemaker. 'Further investigations are ongoing to complete the case file,' he said. Earlier, the couple was arrested after the baby was found unconscious, with bluish skin and bruises on her body, in the living room of their home. A man lodged a police report at 9.34pm, claiming his adopted daughter had lost consciousness for unknown reasons. Following the report, police arrested the 38-year-old woman and her 50-year-old husband under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001 (Act 611). The foster mother also tested positive for drugs. Initial investigations found that the baby had been under the woman's care since 18 June, after her biological mother returned to Indonesia.
