MELAKA: A 70-year-old is undoubtedly among the oldest long-haul drivers that Melaka Road Transport Department (JPJ) director Muhammad Firdaus Shariff has come across in his work.

"This is first time I've heard of an elderly man ferrying passengers by express bus from Johor to Thailand," he said after accompanying state roadworks, infrastructure, public amenity and transportation committee chairman Datuk Hameed Mytheen Kunju Basheer on a Hari Raya road safety campaign at Melaka Sentral bus terminal here on Wednesday (April 19) night.
