: The Land Public Transport Agency has issued a temporary ban on the use of sockets in all express buses until the investigation into the death of a teenager who was allegedly electrocuted while charging his mobile phone on a bus is completed.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the temporary ban is to enable a thorough investigation to determine the actual cause of the incident. “We have also sought advice from the Energy Commission and if there are any improvements needed by the Ministry of Transport, we are ready to work with ST to review the standard operating procedures that need to be implemented before wiring or the use of sockets is permitted in express buses,” he said during Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat today.
He was replying to a supplementary question from Mohd Nazri Abu Hassan regarding the safety of using sockets in express buses and collaboration with the ST. Loke added that currently, socket inspections are not part of the inspection process conducted by Puspakom.
