A chartered bus carrying a group of Bruneians on holiday was involved in an accident in Sabah. According to a report by a Malaysian newspaper, New Straits Times, the accident occurred at the Ranau-Tamparuli Road near Kampung Kaporingan.
The bus was travelling from Tawau towards Kota Kinabalu rolled twice on the road after the driver lost control of the vehicle, grazed a tourist bus in the opposite direction before coming to a stop about 30 metres away, when it crashed into a tree by the roadside. The group arrived in Kota Kinabalu last Friday and travelled to Tawau where they also spent the night yesterday. They were on their way back to Kota Kinabalu to spend another night before resuming their return journey to Brunei Darussalam today. RTB is currently updating information on the incident.
His Majesty The Sultan And Yang Dipertuan Of Brunei Darussalam,
our caring monarch.

Whilst this also came into my attention on the sports page. 'Crocs' defeat 'Rhinos' 1-0 in a highly-anticipated pre-season friendly. I do miss footballing travel! When Sarawak meet Sabah, it was a classic as it was Selangor against Singapore!
