TRAGEDY STRIKES HOLIDAYMAKERS
Tour bus crash on Malaysian highway kills Singaporean
By Reme Ahmad in Kuala Lumpur & Teh Joo Lin in Singapore
SURVIVOR: Singaporean Koh Hui Yap, 40, who broke her leg, was rushed to a hospital right after the accident. Last night, with her leg in a cast, she returned to Singapore with other survivors on another coach.
DEAD: Madam Tay suffered head injuries. Her two sisters were unhurt.
A HOLIDAY in the hills for a group of Singaporeans was tragically cut short when one of them died in a bus accident in Malaysia.
In an early-morning crash near the Batang Berjuntai exit of the North South Expressway, an hour’s drive from Kuala Lumpur, their bus was rammed into by a container lorry which crossed from the other side of the highway.
Madam Tay Sok Hoon, 52, a mother of three, is believed to have died at the scene from head injuries.
Her two younger sisters, who were also on the bus, escaped unscathed.
But a second Singaporean woman, identified as Madam Koh Hui Yap, 40, broke her leg in the accident, said Malaysian police. The 45-year-old Malaysian driver of the luxury coach, which was carrying 18 passengers, was also seriously injured.

A client told me just this week that he does not buy life insurance b/c it might jinx him. I have met others with similar fears. It helps to take the focus off ourselves and place the focus on those who would suffer financially if we passed away.

hi, just wanted to write that this post is most interesting, i was never in to this life insurance issue, but as I read about it and think about it – it’s one of the most important things to make – it’s also the most logical thing…
