In a shocking display of negligence, a bus driver in Malaysia has been filmed playing games on his smartphone while driving from Kuala Lumpur to Penang. This alarming incident raises serious questions about road safety!

A Chinese tourist, who was aboard the bus during the hours-long journey, couldn't believe her eyes when she spotted the driver engrossed in his mobile game. She quickly recorded the scene and shared it with Malaysian news personality, Tan Chia Yong, who later posted the footage on Facebook.

"This footage was captured by a friend in China on June 22 while they were on a long-distance bus ride to Butterworth, Penang," Chia Yong stated. "Can you believe he was gaming instead of focusing on the road?" The drive typically lasts between four to five hours, and gamblers at the wheel are anything but safe!

The tourist, utterly bewildered by the driver's reckless behavior, questioned if all Malaysian drivers were so careless. "I gasped when I saw his actions—this is unacceptable! He’s a black sheep and needs to be held accountable!"

The online community erupted in outrage, with many insisting that the driver's license should be suspended immediately. Comments flooded in from others who recounted their own frightening experiences with irresponsible drivers, expressing frustration at the lack of accountability.

One netizen furiously remarked, "Passengers are told to buckle up, but what’s the point when drivers act like this? Seatbelts can’t save us from everything!" Another chimed in, emphasizing, "He should have his eyes on the road—so many lives depend on it!"

As the debate continues, some have suggested concrete measures to improve safety, including the installation of cameras in the driver's seat and stricter penalties for those caught using their phones behind the wheel.

Make no mistake: whether driving a bus, car, or any vehicle, using a phone while driving is a dangerous distraction that must be addressed. Let's prioritize safety over convenience!
