The early report on the Genting bus crash, tabled at the cabinet meeting today, revealed that government agencies had failed to identify the cause of the tragedy that claimed 37 lives.
"In the early report tabled by the Road Safety Department this morning during a cabinet meeting, it was clear that not a single thing can be shown as the real cause," said acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein in a post cabinet press conference.
"We have looked at (various) aspects, from the gradient, the driver, the brake situation and tyres (before we came to such a conclusion)," he said.
Beside looking at the Genting tragedy , the study allowed various agencies to look at ways to enhance road safety, he said.

“I am quite happy with the investigation which took place. I briefed the cabinet this morning, we have an animation video of the incident.
“It was clear in this early report that we are looking at many aspects, including the gradient of slope, driver, design of road, brakes, tyres, etc,” he said.
The cabinet has given a mandate for the ministry to look at all the studies done in previous tragedies, including the bus tragedy in Simpang Pulai which claimed 27 lives, and to make them public, he said.
