Case for big shield against risks in light of express bus crashes

THE reports on the recent bus crash at Genting Sempah have exposed widespread ignorance on insurance covers for passengers travelling in buses and taxis.

In addition to the mandatory third party cover for all motor vehicles in Malaysia, passenger risk covers are also compulsory for public service vehicles which include public transport.

Should there be an accident, passengers are usually required to sue the driver at fault in order to obtain compensation commensurate with the injuries and associated losses.
