PUTRAJAYA: The operating licence of the trailer company involved in the fatal collision with several vehicles in Penang on Wednesday may face suspension, says Anthony Loke.
“This incident should not have happened, and the ministry is taking it seriously,” he said during a press conference after officiating the Maritime Economy Workshop on Thursday . He said Miros will carry out further investigations to establish whether it was a technical issue or negligence.“It is understood that the container was 20 feet long, while the trailer could accommodate two containers. However, on that day, it was only carrying one container,” he was quoted as saying by Malay language daily Sinar Harian.
Loke also expressed his disappointment, adding that the trailer driver appeared to be insensitive to the victims’ plight.“People like this not only display no remorse but also have no sensitivity towards the victims’ families,” he said.
