Genting bus crash
22 Aug 2013 — Thirty-seven people died in Malaysia's worst road accident when a bus plunged into a 200-foot deep ravine as it made its way down from the Genting Highlands resort in Pahang. The Genting Highlands road has seen several fatal bus accidents but this is said to be the worst along that stretch and in the country. Before this crash, the worst accident in Malaysia over the past 10 years occurred near Cameron Highlands on December 20, 2010, when 28 people were killed after a double-decker bus overturned.
