• A video showing a bus driver speeding on a highway in Perak while he was using his smartphone has gone viral

  • The video was posted on a public Facebook group by Chuah Shirley yesterday, 3 October. The video has since garnered over 4,800 shares.
    
    "Driving so fast on rainy days! (sic) On top of that, he is playing his phone while he is driving!" Chuah wrote in the caption.
• The 28-second long video shows the bus driver constantly fixated on his phone
  •

  • He repeatedly had both his hands off the steering wheel with only his elbows touching it.
    
    The driver was also seen wearing a pair of wired earbuds while speeding on the fast lane.
• Chuah told SAYS that her 15-year-old son was on the bus, which was en route from Ipoh to Taiping, Perak

  • She said the bus departed at 5.30pm and arrived at the Taiping toll at 6.05pm. Chuah stressed that the speed was unacceptable, especially when it was raining.
    
    Typically, a journey of about 60km in the route should have taken at least an hour.
    
    Meanwhile, Chua's son told SAYS that there were eight passengers on the bus at the time and he was the only passenger at the front who noticed the distracted driver.
    
    Not knowing what to do as a teen and afraid that voicing out his concern would start a commotion, he decided to film the driver instead.
• The 15-year-old said that he was so terrified that he decided to keep an eye on the road for the driver
  • He said he sat up straight throughout the journey and did not dare to take a nap.
    
    Asked that if he would ever take an intercity bus again, he said he was traumatised by the experience and would resort to KTM's Electric Train Services (ETS) instead.
    
    The mother-son duo has since lodged a complaint with the Road Transport Department (JPJ) and hope that the Ministry of Transport will take action against the bus driver.

Those intra-state bus services are not too good. They're usually taken by Malaysian peasants.

Anyway, it's much cheaper to take bus coaches from JB to the northern parts. Time vs money, do your cost-benefit analysis.

Ktm Double tracking to jb, which badawi cancelled, should be ready by 2021.

You can take the old KTM train from JB, stop at Gemas, change to the new train and continue on your journey north.

Gemas is a shitty little town, and the main attraction there is KFC.

Taking a bus is still more cost effective, although the lengthy 'toilet stops' at certain tourist traps are annoying.

The bus has autopilot engaged so it is perfectly safe for everyone on board. The on board computer will take control long before there is any chance of an accident.

If you have served NS, you would have known that drivers are at the bottom of the human hierarchy (whether based on IQ, EQ, social class, education ect2) followed by cooks, storeman, ect2.
I have lost count the number of times I caught them sleeping or dozing off while driving

All NS slave drivers have one foot inside DB by default.
