KUANTAN: A 25-year-old man who was killed in an express bus accident in Pekan had earlier spoken with his friend about the reckless driver.

Mohd Shukri Zahak, 25, said he and Ismail Natayudden Hamdan were talking about the speeding bus.

Ten minutes later, Ismail died when the bus skidded and hit a divider before plunging into a canal at Kampung Sungai Miang. -from the star.

Imagine if he knew that he have only ten minutes left? /sweat Student of media might noticed these series of bus accident lately reported by the media as media link age. Is it a coincidence that one incident might trigger another?

Back in my Kampung, my late grandmother used to tell me when somebody died if it claimed one and it stop, it means that's it. But if it takes two then it will be three, like a series. It is believed death will stop at odd number, 1, 3, 5 and end at seven in a certain place or community.

Later I found it to be true, whenever somebody died in my kampung, it must be either 1, 3, 5 or 7. Seven is the most and later its stop for a longer period of time before it starts again with another series.

Coincidence? /blur
