Please be sensitive when you leave your blog links. We appreciate thoughts about the issue but we do not appreciate it if you are sending us a link of something you copied entirely without adding anything of your own. Thank you.

This list is compiled so that the the victims' families(as you can see, mostly Nian Ning's family) would like to see a whole compilation of warm messages. So do continue to share your thoughts, not something copied. :)

The Memorial - 3rd February 2008

Please take note:

We, the Team at Bus Crash No More appreciate the enormous support of the public that we have received so far. Everything has been above expectation and we hope our aim and mission will be accomplished very soon. In the mean time, in our comments column, there have been some parties that have been over excited to share unnecessary and extreme ideas that we deem to be inappropriate.

We do NOT welcome any offensive or subversive comments which are inclusive of political propaganda or in any way which might create unnecessary misunderstanding. We STRESS that Bus Crash No More is a NEUTRAL site which has a POSITIVE mission towards safer bus rides and a peaceful Malaysia. We are not going against any party nor supporting any political organization. All we need is make sure the voice of the victims to be heard in the the public in a peaceful manner. Hence, the team at Bus Crash No More shall not be held liable, in any aspect of comments by readers.

Let's get back to the Memorial, shall we?

Last Sunday marked the 9th day since the loss of Lee Nian Ning and 2 other victims in the Slim River Bus Tragedy. The Mahindarama Buddhist Temple management held a Memorial and paid tributes to Nian Ning.

The lecture hall was filled with relatives, friends and also devotees who showed great support. The Team at Bus Crash No More were able to call upon the press to witness the event as well. You can check it out at the links below:

Article from The Star

Article from Sin Chew Daily

Article from Guang Ming

Article from Nanyang

It all began at 10am, with the arrival of guests and the honourable reverands of the temple. As Nian Ning was a student of this Mahindarama Sunday Pali School, many of her Sunday School friends helped to organize the memorial. The Chief Monk led the chant of The 5 Precepts.

Sister Suriya, the emcee for the day invited Mr. Lee Hock Chuan, Nian Ning's father to give a speech after the chant. The anticipating crowd were solemn and in sorrow. Grief filled the air of the hall. Deep in our hearts, we know we need to be strong.

Next up, a bosom buddy of Nian Ning, Amy took to the stage to share memories from their friendship, of which began since they were in standard one. The sharing session was very tear-jerking and emotional. Brother Justin, Nian Ning's Sunday School classmate followed to share his thoughts as well.

A 20 minutes chanting session took place after the heart-touching speech. A chant that we all hope that Nian Ning's soul will rest in peace and keep her family stronger by each day.

A petition drive was carried out by close friends to garner support to sign the petition. A total of almost 400 signatures were collected from the morning itself.

That was the memorial for Nian Ning.

Rest in peace. In loving memory of Lee Nian Ning (1987-2008)

Pictures That Will Be Remembered

I believe, some may have just browsed through this site without really reading and understanding of what had actually happened. With these pictures, let me touch your feelings and reach your mind so that everyone would unite and show some caring heart in supporting this petition.

It is definitely tragic and horrific. But all we can do now is to make sure this does not happen again. Here are the sorrowful sights from the local newspapers.

Photo credits to The Star, NST and Sin Chew Daily.

The skid of the double-decked bus and off it crashed onto the mid-raillings and tumbled sideways.

It was further hit by an MPV at the tail of the bus.

Nian Ning and Zailani were sitting at the back row of the bus.

One of the victims claimed the bus was "well shaken" before hitting the mid-raillings.
Some of them "flew" off the bus upon impact and passed out.
This is what that is left, when the bus was lifted up back again.


A sorrowful sight at Nian Ning's house.

Solemn, dejected and heart-broken.

None of us want this incident to recur in Malaysia.

Together we can make a difference.

Sign up for our petition rightaway.
