How Our Standards Bureau Can Save Lives

By making sure, for example, that no buses that are unfit for our roads are allowed to operate. It seems strange that NTC buses kept having problems over several years yet they were not left in their garages.

Here's another one. Fans burning down houses and killing twins. Standards need to be rigorously enforced.
