Miros gives reasons for Genting bus crash

KUALA LUMPUR: The bus involved in the deadly Genting Highlands crash that took 37 lives in August was travelling beyond the stipulated speed limit with inefficient brakes at its front wheels and a retarder that failed to slow it down.

These were among the findings made by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety (Miros) of the Aug 21 tragedy, which happened after a Genting Highlands Transport Sdn Bhd bus that was carrying 53 passengers plunged 60m down a ravine near the hill resort.
