If you are a writer or singer who writes your own song. You will know the pain of coming up with new ideas or something that people would like to hear. Most of us would have this experience during our exams.
We just stare into the abyss waiting for some ideas to pop up so we could start our essay.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://media.tenor.com/SrzT3QQXnUAAAAAM/daydreaming-finn-roberts.gif" alt="Staring At Wall GIFs | Tenor" />
This also happens in university especially when we have an assignment to hand in soon. We would stare for days at the laptop ending up writing one sentence. Copywriters and songwriters need more credit as they need to think out of the box to come up with content which catches not only the readers eyes but also heart.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://media.tenor.com/LiDD5Bl5AXEAAAAM/spongebob-the.gif" alt="Spongebob Essay GIFs | Tenor" />
Writing is all about emotions that we show in the form of words, not all emotions could be spoken out. A one liner sentence could hit you so hard if the circumstance that you are in relates to that one line.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://media.tenor.com/ppqVQB1PoBAAAAAM/tom-y-jerry-tom-and-jerry.gif" alt="Aglamak GIFs | Tenor" />
Especially when you are writing a song the lyrics hit you the most more than the tune. Sometimes we play back a certain song if the lyrics did not hit us in the feels.
<img src="https://media.tenor.com/6CE7evf2_7UAAAAj/milk-and-mocha-music.gif" alt="Milk And Mocha Music Sticker - Milk And Mocha Music Listening Stickers" />
But sometimes our content could be subjected to copyright issues, some copywriters could sue certain artists for "stealing their work&rdquo;. But sometimes it could be just a mere coincidence that certain parts of lines may appear the same.
Here we could see Taylor Swift who had a lawsuit regarding copyright issues from copywriters. But before that here is a little bit about Taylor Swift.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://imageio.forbes.com/specials-images/imageserve/60ed9c8a0fbd515e45638557/0x0.jpg?format=jpg&amp;width=1200" alt="With Five Current Singles, Taylor Swift Is The Undisputed Queen Of Radio In America" width="610" height="405" />
Taylor Swift, whose real name is Taylor Alison Swift, was born in West Reading, Pennsylvania, on December 13, 1989. She is an American singer-songwriter of pop and country music whose songs are about adolescent heartbreak.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://lastfm.freetls.fastly.net/i/u/770x0/664df01c3380781b896ca4bfc68f2f75.jpg" alt="Taylor Swift Photos (953 of 4278) | Last.fm" width="257" height="163" />
Swift writes original music to express herself and her music was inspired by Cheney&nbsp; and Dixie Chicks and she quickly advanced from parts in children's theatre to her debut in front of a large audience. Before a Philadelphia&nbsp; basketball game when she was 11 years old, she sang "The Star-Spangled Banner." The following year, she picked up the guitar and started writing songs.
Swift created original music that expressed her experiences and by drawing inspiration from country music performers like Shania Twain and the Dixie Chicks. Swift's parents sold their farm in Pennsylvania when she was 13 and relocated to Hendersonville, Tennessee, so she could spend more time pursuing country labels in nearby Nashville.
Swift met recording her song was 14 years old in 2004 and in&nbsp; 2014 she signed with Sony/ATV as a songwriter. She frequently played songs she had written at places in the Nashville region, and it was during one of these performances that record executive Scott Borchetta became aware of her.
From there, her career in music went uphill, she was recruited by Borchetta to his budding Big Machine label, and in the summer of 2006, she released her debut single, "Tim McGraw," which was heavily influenced by and featured a reference to Swift's favourite country musician.

Taylor Swift Vs 3LW Controversy
According to court records&nbsp; two songwriters who had accused Grammy-winning artist Taylor Swift of stealing their lyrics for her 2014 number-one single "Shake It Off". Sean Hall and Nathan Butler informed a federal judge in Los Angeles that they would dismiss their 2017 case with prejudice, which prevents a re-filing.
Trial in the case was supposed to start on 17 January 2023
Swift and the songwriters' legal counsel filed court documents, but they did not mention whether a settlement had been reached. Requests for more information were not immediately answered by representatives of the parties.
The Comparison Of Lyrics Between 'Shake It Off' And 'Playas Gon Play'
In 2018, a judge rejected the case, but in 2019, a US appeals court reinstated it. In August, Swift testified in court that she had never heard the song by 3LW before penning "Shake It Off." The expressions "players going to play" and "haters going to hate" are frequently heard to "convey the idea that one can or should shrug off adversity," she claimed.
Hall and Butler used the lyrics "playas, they going to play, and haters, they going to hate" in their song "Playas Gon' Play." The song, which was sung by the R&amp;B trio 3LW, was released in 2001 and featured on both MTV's Total Request Live and the Billboard Hot 100.
Swift sings: "The players going to play, play, play, play, and the haters going to hate, hate, hate, hate," in the song "Shake It Off."

The tour, slated for October 2025, marks their first full-scale live shows in the region since their 2015 performance at MTV World Stage in Malaysia.
The band will perform in Singapore on 4 October 2025 (Saturday), followed by a show in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 8 October 2025 (Wednesday). Fans in other major Asian cities&mdash;Seoul, Taipei, Hong Kong, and Shanghai&mdash;will also be treated to performances as part of the tour.

While details about the concert venues and ticketing have yet to be released, anticipation is already running high, with longtime fans eager to secure their spots once ticket sales open.
Who are SEKAI NO OWARI?

SEKAI NO OWARI&mdash;literally &ldquo;End of the World&rdquo; in Japanese&mdash;is a four-piece pop-rock band whose kaleidoscopic sound and whimsical aesthetics have made them one of Japan&rsquo;s most influential contemporary groups. Formed in Tokyo and major-label&ndash;debuted in 2011, the line-up has remained unchanged: enigmatic front man Fukase (vocals, lyrics), multi-instrumentalist and band leader Nakajin (guitar), classically trained Saori (piano, stage design) and the ever-masked DJ LOVE (turntables, sampling). Their break-through single &ldquo;Starlight Parade&rdquo; lit up domestic charts, but it was 2013&rsquo;s anthemic &ldquo;RPG&rdquo;&mdash;theme for Crayon Shin-chan: Very Tasty! B-grade Gourmet Survival!!&mdash;that catapulted them into mainstream popularity, earning double-platinum certification and establishing their trademark blend of fairy-tale lyricism and stadium-sized hooks.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gsVGf1T2Hfs" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The quartet&rsquo;s catalogue is now packed with era-defining hits: the folk-EDM crossover &ldquo;Dragon Night,&rdquo; orchestral ballad &ldquo;Sazanka,&rdquo; and 2022&rsquo;s TikTok-fuelled &ldquo;Habit,&rdquo; which dominated the Billboard Japan Hot 100 for eleven consecutive weeks and captured the Grand Prix (Song of the Year) at the 64th Japan Record Awards. Their music frequently crosses into film and anime: &ldquo;Anti-Hero&rdquo; and &ldquo;SOS&rdquo; bookended the live-action Attack on Titan movies, while &ldquo;RAIN&rdquo; served as the end-theme for Studio Ponoc&rsquo;s animated feature Mary and the Witch&rsquo;s Flower.

SEKAI NO OWARI&rsquo;s albums&mdash;Tree (2015), the twin releases Eye and Lip (2019), and 2023&rsquo;s Habit&mdash;have each topped the Oricon charts, and the group&rsquo;s imaginative arena productions (complete with circus sets and giant inflatable creatures) are regarded as some of the most immersive live experiences in J-pop. Alongside multiple Japan Gold Disc Awards and MTV VMAJ wins, the band has collaborated with Western acts such as Owl City and Epik High and even released English material under the name End of the World, underscoring their global ambitions. With genre-bending singles, award-winning visuals and a devoted fandom that spans generations, SEKAI NO OWARI continue to re-define what a Japanese pop band can be on&mdash;and beyond&mdash;the world stage.
A Full-Sensory Experience: Not Just a Concert
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ace1a03a2e87263a32b170753433d0eac311233b22b9134661e423a7a93eaade" />
Those familiar with SEKAI NO OWARI&rsquo;s previous shows know to expect more than just a musical performance. Renowned for their cinematic visuals, immersive stage designs, and emotionally charged atmospheres, the band creates a multisensory journey that resonates long after the final encore.
Their setlists typically blend heartfelt ballads with electrifying anthems, driven by their unique fusion of J-pop, alternative rock, and electronica. Songs like SOS and Anti-Hero, which featured in the Attack on Titan films, are fan favourites that showcase their emotional storytelling and genre-defying sound.
This tour promises the same dramatic energy and breathtaking visuals that have become synonymous with the group&rsquo;s identity, making it a must-see event for fans across Asia.
A Decade in the Making
SEKAI NO OWARI&rsquo;s return to Southeast Asia has been a long time coming. Their last performance in Malaysia dates back nearly a decade, and fans have waited patiently for another chance to experience their powerful live presence. Since their MTV World Stage appearance, the band has gained international attention under their English moniker End of the World, collaborating with global artists and appearing at major music festivals.
With this tour, they are bringing their global momentum back to Asia, igniting excitement among their dedicated fanbase, known affectionately as S.N.O.W.S.
Stay Tuned for Ticket Sales
&nbsp;<img src="https://media.tenor.com/Azuy9B8e13gAAAAM/sekai-no-owari-snow.gif" />
Currently, concert venues, ticket pricing, seating plans, and possible VIP perks have yet to be announced. However, the official tour announcement was shared via the band&rsquo;s social media channels, and further updates are expected soon.
Fans are encouraged to keep a close eye on official platforms for more information and to prepare in advance&mdash;because tickets are expected to sell out fast.
Whether you're a longtime follower or new to their music, SEKAI NO OWARI&rsquo;s Phoenix Asia Tour promises an unmissable experience. With their emotionally resonant performances, genre-spanning sound, and breathtaking visuals, their return to Southeast Asia is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Japanese live tours of 2025.

SEKAI NO OWARI Returns To Southeast Asia With “Phoenix Asia Tour”

A catastrophic aviation disaster unfolded on Thursday, 12 June, when an Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner en route to London crashed shortly after take-off from Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The crash, which occurred at approximately 1.39pm local time, claimed the lives of more than 240 people, making it the world&rsquo;s worst commercial aviation tragedy in over a decade.

Flight AI171, bound for Gatwick Airport, was carrying 242 individuals, including 217 adults, 11 children, two infants, and a crew of 12. The aircraft plummeted into a residential area, crashing directly into a hostel attached to a medical college in the Meghani Nagar neighbourhood during lunchtime. Among the deceased were hostel residents, including medical students, doctors, and their families.

Only One Survivor Pulled from the Wreckage

In a rare miracle, one passenger survived: a British national of Indian origin named Vishwash Kumar Ramesh. Seated in seat 11A, next to an emergency exit, Ramesh was able to escape the burning wreckage. He sustained multiple injuries but remained conscious and coherent when transported to hospital.
&ldquo;Thirty seconds after take-off, there was a loud noise and then the plane crashed. It all happened so quickly,&rdquo; Ramesh told the Hindustan Times from his hospital bed. &ldquo;When I got up, there were bodies all around me. I was scared. I stood up and ran. There were pieces of the plane all around me. Someone grabbed hold of me and put me in an ambulance.&rdquo;
Footage taken after the crash showed Ramesh bloodied and limping as he was helped into an ambulance. Police later confirmed he had managed to jump from the aircraft through the emergency exit, and that he remains the only known survivor.
Devastation on the Ground
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/298db1790fd7f2209c769f3f8698d3987e1a771dd616e16c324d502e2f40f6d4" />
The destruction was not limited to those on board. At least 24 people on the ground perished when the aircraft struck the building. Many others were injured. Witnesses described the crash as sounding like a bomb explosion, and some felt the ground shake as if during an earthquake.
&ldquo;My son is safe, and I have spoken to him,&rdquo; said a woman named Ramila, whose son had just returned to the hostel for lunch. &ldquo;He jumped from the second floor, so he suffered some injuries.&rdquo; Another local, Poonam Patni, recounted the horror: &ldquo;When we reached the spot there were several bodies lying around and firefighters were dousing the flames. Many of the bodies were burned.&rdquo;
Former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani was among the victims. Authorities have asked families of the deceased to provide DNA samples for identification due to the severe burns suffered by many victims.
Cause of Crash Still Unknown
The aircraft had only just departed Ahmedabad&rsquo;s runway when it issued a Mayday call. Moments later, it vanished from radar. CCTV footage showed the plane struggling to climb before falling rapidly and disappearing from view, followed by a massive fireball rising from behind residential buildings.

Air traffic control confirmed the Dreamliner took off at 1.39pm and lost contact shortly after. The flight tracking website Flightradar24 reported that the plane&rsquo;s signal was lost less than a minute after take-off. Notably, video analysis suggested the landing gear was still down, which aviation experts noted as unusual for that stage of flight.
US aerospace safety consultant Anthony Brickhouse remarked: &ldquo;If you didn&rsquo;t know what was happening, you&rsquo;d think the plane was on approach, not take-off.&rdquo; The exact cause remains unknown, but mechanical failure or pilot error has not been ruled out.
First Crash for Boeing 787 Dreamliner

This crash marks the first-ever fatal accident involving a Boeing 787 Dreamliner since the aircraft entered commercial service in 2011. The specific aircraft involved, registered as VT-ANB, had been delivered to Air India in January 2014 and first flown in 2013.
The Dreamliner had a reputation for being one of the safest wide-body jets, adding further shock to the tragedy. Boeing has since dispatched a team of experts to assist with the investigation, which is being led by India&rsquo;s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB).
Worldwide Response and Support

In the aftermath, Air India and its parent company Tata Group expressed deep sorrow. Air India CEO Campbell Wilson called it a &ldquo;devastating incident,&rdquo; while Tata pledged ₹1 crore (approximately &pound;86,000) in compensation for each victim&rsquo;s family. They also committed to covering all medical expenses for the injured and pledged support in rebuilding the medical college hostel.
International leaders extended condolences. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the incident as &ldquo;heartbreaking beyond words.&rdquo; UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the images &ldquo;devastating,&rdquo; and King Charles was said to be closely following developments. US President Donald Trump described the incident as &ldquo;terrible,&rdquo; while British authorities confirmed they were working with Indian counterparts to support affected families.

India&rsquo;s Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu announced that a high-level committee of experts has been formed to conduct a comprehensive investigation. The aircraft&rsquo;s black box and cockpit voice recorder have been recovered, and data from these will be crucial in determining the crash's cause.
GE Aerospace, the maker of the plane&rsquo;s engines, has also sent a team to India to assist in analysing the flight and cockpit data. The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is working closely with Boeing and GE, while the UK&rsquo;s Foreign Office is providing consular support to affected families.
A Community in Mourning
The tragedy has left the city of Ahmedabad in mourning, with vigils being held outside hospitals and homes of the deceased. Scenes of relatives awaiting news or identification at the city&rsquo;s morgues underscore the profound human cost of the crash.
The incident has also reignited scrutiny over aircraft safety and airline maintenance standards, as many families question how such a devastating failure could occur so soon after take-off.
As investigators begin the difficult task of piecing together what went wrong, the sole survivor&rsquo;s story remains a haunting testament to the tragedy&mdash;and a symbol of hope amidst overwhelming loss.

Tragedy In Ahmedabad: Over 240 Dead In Air India Crash, British Man Sole Survivor

What began as a suspected break-in at a family home in Bukit Rambai, Melaka, during the early hours of 12 June, has now been confirmed as a deeply troubling domestic tragedy. A 51-year-old single mother, Vernita Boon (also reported as Wen Qiu Yan in some sources), and her 21-year-old eldest son, Lim Boon Kai, were found brutally stabbed to death in the living room of their home in Taman Rambai Mutiara.
Initial reports suggested a robbery, but police have since revealed that the perpetrator was not an external intruder. Instead, the horrific attack was allegedly carried out by Boon&rsquo;s second son, a 17-year-old schoolboy, who is believed to have been driven by pent-up resentment stemming from constant academic pressure.
Early Morning Horror: From Bedroom to Bloodshed
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/f412e8a2c5472e6049fd21e585a15cad2bd4013b9304166c4d587d3e8955ee54" />
According to police, the suspect&mdash;who is due to sit for his Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations later this year&mdash;used a 20cm folding knife, concealed in his school bag, to stab his mother multiple times while she was asleep in her bedroom. When his elder brother entered the room in an attempt to intervene, he too was fatally attacked, sustaining stab wounds to the neck, waist, and back.
Melaka police chief Datuk Dzulkhairi Mukhtar stated that the youngest of the three siblings, a 13-year-old boy, witnessed the bloody aftermath. When he refused the suspect&rsquo;s command to leave the house, he was also stabbed but managed to escape. He was later found bleeding outside the home and is currently in stable condition in the intensive care unit (ICU) at Melaka Hospital.
Premeditated Violence, Not a Crime of Passion
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/364276571779dc2fd30154acbb15445fee9787c3b1315329bbf6681a97f69b0b" />
Forensic teams and officers from the Batang Tiga police station arrived at the scene around 6am. They discovered bloodied clothes discarded in nearby bushes and recovered the murder weapon&mdash;still in the suspect&rsquo;s school bag&mdash;indicating an attempt to destroy evidence.
Police believe the attack was not spontaneous but carefully premeditated. CCTV footage from the neighbourhood reportedly captured the suspect&rsquo;s movements, including his efforts to dispose of evidence. The 17-year-old is said to have purchased the folding knife several days prior to the attack.
When officers arrived, the teenager was found sitting outside the house in a dazed state. He has since confessed to the killings and is currently in custody, facing two counts of murder under Section 302 of the Penal Code. Investigations confirm he was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the incident.
Underlying Motive: Academic Pressure and Emotional Distress
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5e7ca778812b605ba75fff96e5e2108f458c0d2e0aa4d61e1fa8e61a7d797e53" />
At a press conference, Dzulkhairi disclosed that the motive behind the murders appears to be revenge triggered by emotional distress and unresolved resentment. The suspect reportedly struggled with his mother&rsquo;s strict academic expectations and felt overwhelmed by her frequent scolding, especially in the months leading up to his national examinations.
Neighbours told police that arguments between Boon and her children were a regular occurrence and had grown more intense in recent weeks. It is believed the older brother also contributed to the pressure, urging the suspect to focus more on his studies.
&ldquo;This is a tragic case of a child who felt trapped under academic expectations,&rdquo; said Dzulkhairi. &ldquo;The suspect claimed he was forced to study late into the night and was frequently reprimanded for not meeting expectations.&rdquo;
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FIPKMelaka%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02YR6NTYNpUSuu3zezgHX2JnLNeMWk8LZi6RTUTfXJyQsCpRRbyyrVPqeMnvrRFnuil&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="715" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
A Family Already in Mourning
The family had already suffered a significant loss just six months earlier, when Boon&rsquo;s husband&mdash;reportedly a chef&mdash;passed away from illness. Left to raise three sons on her own, Boon worked as a primary school teacher in a Chinese school in Melaka and was known for her dedication to education.
The tragedy has now left two members of the family dead, one seriously injured, and the surviving son facing the possibility of a death sentence if convicted. The home, which had been a place of familial rebuilding, is now a crime scene etched with trauma and irreversible loss.
Ongoing Investigation and Legal Proceedings
Melaka deputy police chief Senior Assistant Commissioner Ahmad Jefferi Abdullah and Melaka Criminal Investigation Department chief Assistant Commissioner Leow Kian Heong were among the officials at the crime scene as forensic teams gathered evidence.
The bodies of the victims have been sent to the forensics department at Melaka Hospital for post-mortem examination. The suspect is expected to be remanded for further investigation.
Police have classified the case as murder and believe the matter is resolved in terms of identifying the suspect. However, the tragedy has reignited wider conversations about mental health, emotional support, and the pressures placed on students within Malaysia&rsquo;s high-stakes academic culture.

Set against the heritage backdrop of the iconic Macalister Mansion, the Penang pop-up is more than a retail event &mdash; it&rsquo;s a carefully curated immersive experience. Visitors will be welcomed into a Dior dreamscape, where colonial elegance meets tropical fantasy.

The much-loved Lady D-Lite and Dior Book Tote bags also return in updated looks, adorned with the season&rsquo;s pastoral patterns. Footwear options range from minimalist to playful, with the beloved Dway slides available in a variety of colours, materials, and heel heights, while the Dioract mules and D-Sand sandals offer both comfort and style for city strolls or beachside lounging.

Dioriviera Arrives In Penang: Luxe Pop-Up And Dior Café Take Over Macalister Mansion

Malaysia is mourning the loss of 15 Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) students following a devastating bus crash along the East-West Highway (Jalan Raya Timur-Barat, or JRTB) near Tasik Banding, Gerik, Perak. The tragedy has prompted swift government action on multiple fronts, including the revocation of transport permits, cancellation of student loans, and the rollout of substantial financial assistance packages to victims&rsquo; families.
Fatal Crash Sparks Nationwide Grief
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c85c01ae379d0453ae8964d7be1f827a7415c34d6fa620d86e28bab96102d0e4" />
The incident occurred when a bus carrying 42 UPSI students from Jerteh, Terengganu to Tanjung Malim, Perak collided with a Perodua Alza on the highway. The impact of the crash killed 15 students on the spot, while many others sustained serious injuries. The bus was reportedly being operated by a company based in Kedah, now found to have violated transport regulations.
The tragedy has deeply shaken the nation, with leaders across government expressing their sorrow and solidarity with the affected families. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim personally conveyed his condolences and has since announced a coordinated response to support the victims and ensure accountability.
Transport Ministry Revokes Bus Operator&rsquo;s Permits
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/05c80a1143cfbfbd9bd5d30304194159c19b7170e2ccf4e295ffeed746e39b19" />
In a press conference following the incident, Transport Minister Anthony Loke revealed that the bus operator had committed two significant regulatory violations. Firstly, the bus in question had been illegally sublet to a third party in Kelantan for RM500 per month, which contravenes vehicle permit rules. Secondly, the operator failed to activate the bus&rsquo;s GPS tracking system during its journey, thereby obstructing efforts to trace the vehicle's route and operational compliance.
As a result, the Ministry of Transport has taken decisive action by revoking all vehicle permits owned by the operator, with no opportunity for appeal. &ldquo;This is a serious breach of public safety and regulatory trust. We will not compromise when it comes to the safety of our people,&rdquo; Loke stated.
To prevent similar incidents in the future, the Land Transport Agency (APAD) will establish a centralised database containing driver profiles, including past convictions and blacklisted individuals. The database will allow bus operators to perform thorough background checks before hiring drivers, ensuring only qualified and safe personnel are employed in public transportation.
Financial Assistance for Families of Victims and Survivors
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/41b8288482346eaee5a00082cda6b1393834f0364bc47fe67e3a55eb9c0b9806" />
In a move to alleviate the financial burden on grieving families, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced that each family who lost a loved one would receive RM10,000, while those with injured relatives would be provided with RM5,000 in immediate assistance. These payments are being coordinated at the federal level and will be disbursed promptly.
Government spokesperson and Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil confirmed the aid during a press briefing, also noting that the Attorney-General&rsquo;s Chambers has been directed to examine all insurance aspects related to the crash. This is to ensure families receive any entitled compensation without undue delay or bureaucratic hurdles.
PTPTN Cancels Student Loans for the Deceased
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/657b3c08759d8ae81a25622c94ce6f2f87bfe1bf01406766833d72ae3cc52c54" />
In a compassionate and symbolic gesture, the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) has announced the complete cancellation of all outstanding student loans held by the 15 students who lost their lives in the crash.
&ldquo;This is a measure of respect and support for the families,&rdquo; said Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. &ldquo;They should not have to worry about financial obligations in such a time of grief.&rdquo; The Higher Education Minister, Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir, echoed the sentiment, stating that the move is in line with existing PTPTN policy and reflects the government&rsquo;s commitment to protecting students and their families during extraordinary circumstances.
Additional Support from Education and Welfare Ministries
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/978d5c4ad68edc4998706163015e8db2005b8f761799c4e8b3e080f0d9d1281a" />
The Ministry of Higher Education, through its foundation Yayasan Perkasa Siswa, has pledged further support. Each bereaved family will receive RM2,000 in funeral assistance, while students who were injured in the accident will receive RM1,000 in disaster relief funds.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development will provide RM1,000 in aid to each of the 10 UPSI students currently receiving treatment in intensive care units across two hospitals in Perak. Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said the funds are being drawn from the Yayasan Kebajikan Negara under the Skim Pemberian Ehsan Kepada Keluarga Mangsa, a special assistance programme for disaster victims and their families.
Calls for Greater Accountability and Reform
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a87beb631e6b866c26fbbfc3b2c7151d073a63195bc8d6dc7546fc64d4dcc036" />
The tragic accident has reignited public concern over the safety of long-distance travel for students and the enforcement of transport regulations. Critics have pointed to systemic weaknesses, including lax permit enforcement and poor monitoring of bus operators, particularly during inter-state charter trips.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke reiterated that the government will take stern action against any operator found to be in violation of safety standards. &ldquo;This is not an isolated case. We must learn from this tragedy and ensure our enforcement mechanisms are foolproof moving forward,&rdquo; he said.
The government is also urging private bus companies to take greater responsibility for the condition of their vehicles and the qualifications of their drivers. Regular audits, enhanced digital tracking systems, and stricter licensing protocols are among the proposed reforms to be rolled out in the coming months.
A Nation Mourns, and Moves Forward
As funerals take place across the country, the outpouring of support&mdash;from government agencies, ministries, and ordinary Malaysians&mdash;has been deeply moving. While no financial aid can replace the lives lost, the coordinated response signals a commitment to justice, accountability, and compassion.
In the coming weeks, investigations will continue, and further recommendations are expected to be made. For now, Malaysia mourns together, united in grief and resolve, determined to honour the memory of the 15 young lives lost with meaningful change.

Who is B.I?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/4392edd821907a371841b79829eebe1f941e3167e02131e30afe0edf9817e78e" />
B.I, born Kim Han-bin, is a South Korean rapper, singer-songwriter, and producer celebrated for his introspective lyricism and genre-blending musicality. He first rose to prominence as the leader and main songwriter of iKON, a boy group formed under YG Entertainment. The group&rsquo;s debut in 2015 with Welcome Back was a commercial success, producing chart-topping hits like &ldquo;My Type,&rdquo; &ldquo;Rhythm Ta,&rdquo; and the emotional ballad &ldquo;Apology.&rdquo; B.I quickly established himself as a standout in the industry thanks to his songwriting prowess and commanding stage presence.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/blSCDrx0CDA" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
After parting ways with iKON in 2019, B.I embarked on a solo career that has been marked by both creative freedom and critical acclaim. His first full-length solo album, Waterfall (2021), and subsequent projects like COSMOS (2021) and Love or Loved (L.O.L) series (2022&ndash;2023), showcased a more vulnerable, reflective side of the artist. Tracks like &ldquo;Illa Illa,&rdquo; &ldquo;BTBT&rdquo; (featuring DeVita and Soulja Boy), and &ldquo;Got It Like That&rdquo; further solidified his position as a compelling solo act on the global stage.
B.I has received several accolades throughout his career, both with iKON and as a solo artist. Notably, he won Songwriter of the Year at the 2018 Melon Music Awards for his work on iKON&rsquo;s mega-hit &ldquo;Love Scenario,&rdquo; which also earned Song of the Year at the 2018 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA).
Beyond music, B.I has continued to connect with fans worldwide through sold-out tours, humanitarian efforts with organizations like World Vision, and consistent engagement with his growing international fanbase. His journey&mdash;from idol group leader to introspective soloist&mdash;has been a testament to his resilience, artistry, and evolution in the ever-shifting landscape of K-pop.
