KUALA LUMPUR: The Land Public Transport Agency (Apad) has suspended the operating licence of C&L Minerals Sdn Bhd for 28 days, effective Nov 19, after one of its lorries crashed into 14 vehicles in Putrajaya on Sept 20.
The Transport Ministry said an investigation by Apad's licensing suspension and revocation committee found that the company did not comply with the legal requirements of the licence.
"The suspension is imposed on offences related to the failure to comply with the legal requirements of the licence under the Land Transportation Act 2010 and reckless driving, in addition to having a huge number of speeding fines," it said in a statement on Friday (Nov 17).
It also said that any transaction related to the operator's licence of the company would not be allowed during the suspension period.
In the incident, a sand-laden lorry belonging to the company crashed into 14 vehicles at KM5.7, Jalan Persiaran Utara, Putrajaya, killing two people.
In the meantime, Apad said the investigation report was delayed because the committee had to conduct further technical checks with the relevant ministry agencies to identify the cause of the accident. – Bernama
