this afternoon one service 88 BC told me that SBS9424C has
been de-registered for parts and the engine is damaged beyond
repair. is this true? why can't they buy a new engine
and install into the bus?

and the BC also told me that the DD which bang into SBS 9424C
might also be de-registered. the damage is not so serious leh....
why must de-register? 
Need to check LTA, at last check, the bus was sitting in amdep
with a new rear but without aircon, the rear did not have any vents
for the aircon yet. However, bus has Mas Selamat poster on
door.
EDIT: Dint see [email protected]'s post.....sad case...
