KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 21 – Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has offered condolences to the families of victims of the express bus which plunged into a ravine in Genting Highlands Wednesday.
The prime minister also hoped the best rescue efforts were carried out by the teams and agencies involved.
He said this in his Twitter account tonight.
As of 9pm, 37 people, including the bus driver, were confirmed dead after the bus plunged 60 metres into the ravine at KM3.6 Jalan Genting Highlands today.
The mishap occurred when the bus, which was ferrying 53 passengers, negotiated a steep downhill stretch from the top of Genting Highlands, heading towards the federal capital.
