$ntroduction.

n Malaysia the Bus is one of the most useful -ays to transfer from

city to city2 there are more than $## 0us companies. These 0uses are

usually (esigne( for long (istance travel an( often inclu(e a separate

luggage compartment un(er the passenger floor. The 0us -as travellingfrom 7antau +an8ang to 9uantan -hen it crashe( into the $".% m ravine

at the ::r( 1ilometer of the roa( at $"3%; am. <hen the 0us came to the

sharp 0en( at 1m ::2 it -ent out of control an( plunge( into the ravine

an( overturne(2 an( 1ille( "' of its passengers. <ith 1no-ing that there

are recommen(ations have 0een formulate( after comprehensive

evaluation an( revie- in or(er to avoi( or minimi=e the occurrence an(

the outcomes of similar inci(ents an( to improve the national roa( safety

system holistically. n general2 these recommen(ations are also applica0leto other hilly roa(s an( the i(entifie( >0lac1 spots? in the country. *n

Upon site inspection it has ound that.

The purpose of acci(ent reporting is to i(entify imme(iate reasons2

can 0e (efine( as an unplanne( event that interrupts the completion of an

activity2 an( that may inclu(e in8ury or property (amage. The main goal of

acci(ent investigation is to esta0lish imme(iate an( un(erlying causes2 in

or(er to initiate action to re(uce the chances of a recurrence. * su0si(iary
