HE RECEIVED a phone call in the morning saying his wife was in an accident. And when technician Zeng Ching Wei, 34, reached the accident site in Segamat, Johor Bahru, he had a bad feeling when he saw a fire engine.

Then, looking at the mangled wreck of his wife's car, he rushed up to a rescue worker extricating the victims. The rescuer looked at Mr Zeng, shook his head in regret and said: "No more."

Mr Zeng's wife, 31-year-old Cheng Lee Sei who was eight months pregnant, was one of two teachers killed in a two-car collision on Thursday near Jalan Batu Enam. Madam Cheng, who was driving a Perodua Viva, and one of her passengers, Miss Lee Peng Ling, 34, who was in the rear seat, died instantly in the 7am accident.

JOHOR BARU: For the Tunku Mahkota of Johor, Tunku Ismail Idris Sultan Ibrahim, the Kembara Mahkota Johor programme holds a meaningful and special significance.

"I'm always excited about the Kembara Mahkota Johor programme as it is a time where my father, the sultan of Johor Sultan Ibrahim Almarhum Sultan Iskandar, and my family have the opportunity to be close to the people, especially in rural areas," he said yesterday.

Tunku Ismail said in the past, the Kembara Mahkota Johor convoy used high-powered motorcycles to reach the state's interior. "However, this time round the convoy will be unique as it is a first time that the Kembara Mahkota Johor programme will reach out to the people via train."
