Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi mentioned that the recent crash involving an FRU truck could have been prevented with a proper inspection at Puspakom.
Technical problems with the lorry's steering system led to the incident, and responsibility should not only be placed on the driver but also on the lorry company.
The crash occurred between an FRU truck and a sand-carrying lorry in Teluk Intan, Perak, resulting in the deaths of nine FRU personnel.
The driver of the sand lorry, who has a history of prior offences, has been detained for reckless driving causing death, and Puspakom is willing to cooperate with the authorities in the investigation.
