Ccssgm 1st Gear July 21, 2008 Share July 21, 2008 Tragic Accident: Mother loses 3 children in smash-up MUAR: Tan Kee Ann was burdened with the heaviest of tasks on Saturday. He had to tell his sister-in-law, Lee Lay Ha, that three of her children had died in an accident on Jalan Pagoh-Parit Sulong here, earlier that night. Lee had been driving the car when the accident occurred. She was knocked unconscious, but awoke two hours later. Tan, 37, said Lee asked for her children immediately upon gaining consciousness. With tears in his eyes, Tan had to muster all the courage he had to tell her the terrible news. "She woke up and asked for her children. She did not even ask about herself, but her kids. It was just heartbreaking to see her. "She just cried after I told her that her children were no more. "It was the saddest moment in my life. Imagine losing your kids in such a tragedy. "I could only cry for her," he said at the Sultanah Fatimah Specialist Hospital mortuary. Siblings Tan Jun Hui, 4, Jun Wah, 11, and Jun Nia, 12, and their cousin Wong Yui Yen, 7, were killed on the spot in a head-on collision between the Proton Wira they were in and a lorry. Their Indonesian maid Kismi Wati, 23, also died instantly. Another sibling, Jun Kwang, 8, and cousin, also named Wong Yui Yen, 6, sustained serious head and body injuries, along with Lee. However, the lorry driver, only known as Zaki, and his attendant, Sofie Baharum, 28, escaped unhurt. Tan said the family was on their way from Batu Pahat to Panchor here for their usual weekend visit with the children's grandmother. "Lee is a teacher at SMK Banang Jaya in Batu Pahat while her children studied at SK Banang Jaya. "They were bright students and were very close to each other. This is a huge loss for our family." Tan claimed Lee usually drove carefully and would hesitate to speed. Sofie earlier claimed that Lee had tried avoiding a stalled taxi at the side of the road, before crashing into the lorry. "I do not believe that. Something is wrong because Lee is a careful driver. She would have seen the lorry," Tan said. A funeral will be held at the Bakri Chinese cemetery today. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisiang 2nd Gear July 21, 2008 Share July 21, 2008 (edited) 4 children + 2 cousin + 1 maid + 1 uncle driving + 1 mom = 9 person inside a sedan Luckily our nation already implemented law that requires the use of child seat. If not a lot of parents will rather risk their children's life over convenient sake Let this be a tragic accident and learn from it.

Ccssgm 1st Gear July 22, 2008 Author Share July 22, 2008 6 vehicles in pile-up along Malaysian highway STOMPer Laurence was on his way back to Singapore from Malacca yesterday when he came across this pileup involving 6 vehicles around 6.30pm. Says Laurence of the incident: "This pile-up of six vehicles happened yesterday, 20 July, at the North-South Highway near Tampoi in the direction of Johor Bahru. "It was raining heavily at the time and was caused when one vehicle stopped and the other cars couldn't stop in time. "When it rains, drivers tend to speed, in Singapore as well. They don't take enough precautions and don't slow down even though it it is dangerous. "This pile-up happened on the right lane, where the vehicles are the fastest. Drivers should drive on the left lane more on rainy days. "Also, in Singapore as well as Malaysia, the drivers tend to drive too close to the car in front and don't keep enough distance as they are too impatient. "I think through this pile-up we should learn from them and be more careful when driving. "The people standing on the grass in the pictures are the passengers of the cars. "Good thing nobody was hurt". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
