Students and others involved in excursions and outings should ensure that all procedures on safety are strictly followed.

IN the wake of the recent Korean Sewol ferry tragedy and the school bus crash in Hulu Langat, Selangor in March, there has been public outcry amidst the mourning and grief. The victims involved in both trips were mainly students, and while the finger-pointing continues, the fact remains that guidelines and safety measures were not adhered to.
