KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 21 — The Land Public Transport Agency (Apad) has issued a show cause letter to obtain details from the company that operated the trailer that ploughed into a column of stationary vehicles in Putrajaya yesterday, killing two motorcyclists and injuring seven others.
In a statement today, it said it could suspend or cancel licenses under Section 62 of the Land Public Transport Act 2010 (Act 715) if investigations reveal any violation of service license conditions by the company.
“Apad will never compromise on any offence of dangerous driving of land public transport vehicles causing accidents. This incident is deeply regrettable,” the agency said, adding that preliminary investigations into the 14-vehicle crash revealed the trailer had a Class C carrier licence.
“Apad takes the public safety issue seriously…and is working with the related agencies to obtain relevant reports before taking any further action on the operating company,” it added.
