'I'm sorry, the brakes stopped working', says tearful driver

PETALING JAYA - Lying on a hospital bed, Mr Mohd Amirul Fadhil Zulkifle's voice cracked as he tearfully apologised.

"I'm so sorry to all the students and families involved. The brakes suddenly stopped working," said the 39-year-old bus driver, according to Malay language daily Sinar Harian.

His words carried the weight of the tragic deaths of 15 Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris students when the chartered bus he was driving from Jertih to Tanjung Malim overturned after colliding with a Perodua Alza on the East-West Highway near Tasik Banding, Gerik, between 12.30am and 1am on June 9.
