A day of mourning - 12 killed in horror crash near NS-Malacca border

12 killed in horror crash near NS-Malacca border

Today is indeed, a sad day, a day of mourning for Malaysians. Many a times when tragedies befall upon people we know, we can't help but to ask the creator, "WHY?! WHY?!"

We are nothing but merely human beings, created by the creator. We may know the reason one day, perhaps in our lifetime, or after our lifetime on earth? Whatever the reason, it is still a day of mourning for many of us here... :'(

My deepest condolence to the family and friends of the victims... ":'(

SEREMBAN: Twelve people were killed when a north-bound express bus crashed through the guardrail and ploughed into five vehicles heading in the opposition direction at KM223.2 of the North South Expressway near Simpang Ampat here.

Forty-five others were also injured in the 7.45pm accident, which occured near the Negri Sembilan-Malacca border here yesterday.


Witnesses said the express bus crashed into the rear of a car before the driver lost control of his vehicle and rammed through the guardrail and onto the path of an oncoming bus, two cars and a motorcycle.

The impact caused the express bus to flip onto its side. The bus driver and motorcyclist were among the casualties. The oncoming bus belonged to the Welfare Department.

Grim scene: Rescue personnel looking for trapped victims in the wreckage near the Simpang Ampat toll plaza at the Negri Sembilan-Malacca border Sunday.

Apparently, out of the 45 injured, four have been rushed to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital for treatment, 22 were sent to a hospital in Seremban and 12 to another hospital in Malacca.
The express bus had left Malacca about 45 minutes before the accident and was on its way to Kuala Lumpur.

The accident caused a traffic jam stretching for more than 25km along the expressway.
Of the 12 who died, eight were believed to be passengers from the express bus.
One of them was decapitated.

Two others were from a MyVi, which was crushed by the bus, and another from a Honda Accord.
PLUS officials had to divert motorists at the Pedas/Linggi toll plaza as the south bound lanes were impassable to traffic.

A Plus traffic control centre spokesman said the accident occurred at about 6km from the Simpang Ampat toll near Alor Gajah, Malacca.

“The middle and left lanes for the south-bound traffic were blocked by the vehicles involved in the accident while the right lane for the north-bound traffic was closed to facilitate emergency works at the scene,” he added.
Sources said that the department’s bus was carrying delegates for a gathering of former servicemen, which was attended by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak at Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil earlier in the day.

“None of them in this bus was injured,” said Malaysia Ex-Servicemen’s Asso­ciation Datuk Muhammad Abdul Ghani.

Iceland volcano eruption March 2010 - time-lapes of new lava superb youtube video

Iceland volcano eruption March 2010 - time-lapes of new lava superb youtube video

Do yo remember of a great volcano eruption earlier this year in March/ April?

If you're living in Malaysia, most likely you won't remember it. But if you do remember it, may I salute you here... I've found this superb video in the youtube, showcasting the Iceland volcano eruption March 2010 - time-lapes of new lava. What makes the video so wonderfully beautiful, is because it was taken at night, so you can actually see all the fumes in red and yellow.

It's just beautiful. I mean, the situation was horrifying, but the sight of it, is beautiful. And to make it even nicer, it was taken just before sun rise! haha... now I'm sounding as if I'm promoting this Iceland volcano eruption March 2010 - time-lapes of new lava , of which I'm not.

Have a nice day! ;-)

http://4allpetlovers.com or www.4allpetlovers.com

I used to maintain 2 blogs, ie this one that you're surfing/reading, and the other one is http://4AllPetLovers.com or some preferred to type it as www.4allpetlovers.com.

either way, it's the same. It is a blog that I dedicate to bring the latest information about Dog Adoption, Dog Training Tips, Pet Food, etc. So to my friends who have problem training, adopting dogs, doggie tips, i'll refer them to that blog of mine, 4allpetlovers.com

unfortunately, that blog required me to pay some amount of money per year. Since it's not a profit-oriented blog, it will not make any sense for me to pay the money, and maintain it. Well, some bloggers may differ, to them, it's "their" personal site, so that little money is no issue to them.

I'm not an avid blogger, the reason I blog is because I got frustrated/lazy repeating the same info again n again n again.. so instead, to make things simpler, I refer people to my blog, 4allpetlovers.com

But now... since 4allpetlovers.com is no longer valid, I'll have to cramp all info into this faithful pam-pam.blogspot.com (thank God it's still free for the moment!).

So to all my friends who's been wondering, "what happened to http://4allpetlovers.com?" Well, it's gone. It's now been transferred to my http://pam-pam.blogspot.com. To be specific, I've created a few labels "4allpetlovers.com" and "training tips" so you guys can find wat you want or may be interested in there.

Till then, that's all for now. God bless everyone! ;-)
