SINGAPORE: Ms Nur Ally usually drives or flies into Kuala Lumpur, but on Friday (Feb 2), she decided to make the trip via an express bus with two friends.

The bus, however, never made it to the Malaysian capital, after it caught fire at about 1.40pm that day, some 20 minutes away from the drop-off location at Berjaya Times Square.
