Putrajaya: Transport Ministry to form special committee to probe Teluk Intan FRU crash vehicle safety

PUTRAJAYA, May 14 — Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said Transport Ministry Anthony Loke will announce the formation of a special committee to investigate the non-criminal aspects of the crash involving a Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) truck in Teluk Intan yesterday.

He said Loke told the Cabinet that this would include looking into technical matters related to the vehicles involved, which fall under the Transport Ministry’s jurisdiction.

“The committee will focus on assessing the condition of the vehicles and ensuring that proper safety standards were followed. The investigation will run concurrently with the criminal investigation being handled by the police.

“As such, two separate investigations will be conducted. One by the Transport Ministry and the other by the police,” he told reporters here.

Fahmi said the ministry’s report will be completed within one month and presented to the Cabinet before any further decisions are made.
