Puspakom has submitted its findings on the tragic Ayer Keroh crash to the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) for further action, but the inspection remains incomplete as the dislodged lorry tyre that was the accident’s root cause could not be located, Bernama reports.
The investigation found that the detached tyre could have been caused by a stub axle failure on the lorry’s front axle, but inspectors are puzzled as the Foton EST 430 lorry is relatively new, having been manufactured in 2023 and inspected in March 2024, said Puspakom CEO Mahmood Razak Bahman.
“The inspection and investigation that we conducted for MIROS is incomplete even though the report was sent to the authorities today (January 2).
Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif PUSPAKOM, Mahmood Razak Bahman berkata pihaknya musykil berikutan lori menyebabkan kemalangan lima kenderaan di Melaka mempunyai masalah kerana ia merupakan kenderaan baharu yang dibuat pada 2023 dan tarikh pemeriksaan dilakukan Mac 2024.#AWANInews pic.twitter.com/UarXCPSNuE

“This is because we could not find the tyre that was dislodged. So, Puspakom was unable to inspect the (condition of the) tyre, which should have been sent with the vehicles,” Mahmood Razak said at a press conference at Puspakom Shah Alam yesterday.
Separately, The Star reports that the two vehicle inspectors who were questioned by the Road Transport Department (JPJ) over alleged commercial vehicle inspection wrongdoings have no recent disciplinary issues.
“I have spoken to the two personnel, one with a service record of three years, and the other, 14 years. The staff member who served for three years did not have any disciplinary cases, while the other one did not have any issues in the past four years that warranted concern,” said Mahmood Razak.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
The question is why the bus is speeding or unable to avoid the tyre? Considering other cars on the road can slow down, avoid the tyre and light up their hazard lights in a dashcam video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSVZ3jI1M7M
its a china made lorry…somemore they are wondering why…
Stop your dumb joke, there is people’s life gone here
I am puzzled why they puzzled the new Foton lorry having axle failure. They really expect it to perform like regular lorries? Nama pun dah Foton.
How can a big big lorry tyre gone missing?
There must be some hantu who removed the tyre.
So,the ‘recalcitrant” tyre is missing,are u saying no proof..so like another “DNAA”?
So,still the problem lies with the lorry,even tho the tyre might have been swallowed by King Kong.
Also,the 2 recalcitrant Puspakom testers..why cant Ahlokekor file a police report so that PDRM can send them to the mahkamah ? How can rotten vehicles be allowed on the road by these roque Puspakom staff?
The next victim could be your datuk,nenek,hubby or nephew.
The Puspakom CEO should resign .All these shit have been happening for donkey years under his watch.
PRC vehicle….errmmmmm
Made in China quality KEK
jokers
Apa mau heran? Chery omoda 5 pun boleh patah axle belakang kat chan sow lin tu. Padan muka korang CCP propaganda agent & sapoter jenama kumunis
check with PLUS highway for their report on the accident, they should be the first responder and should have have the full report from the start until all debris clear… unless…
wow…such a big tyre also can go missing one…really boleh!
They should check all Foton made lorry and suspend the sales until after they have identified the root cause. People life at stakes here. Front axle should not fail even after 20 years let alone 1 year. WTH.
