PETALING JAYA: As authorities investigate the death of a teenager while charging his handphone on a bus, an expert says that charging ports in vehicles for long distance travel must be certified safe.
Universiti Putra Malaysia Assoc Prof Law Teik Hua from UPM’s Road Safety Research Centre said that although such a death is a rare incident, it is timely that charging ports in express buses are included as part of the vehicle inspection checklist by Puspakom – the current sole provider of land vehicle inspection in the country.
