Embrace safety culture to prevent mishaps


THE latest incident in Johor where an oversized billboard on the 40m-long metal roof of a pedestrian bridge at the Perling-Pasir Gudang Highway was ripped off by strong winds and resulted in damaging a lorry, two cars and a motorcycle on the road warrants the attention of the authorities.

It should be a wake-up call to all local authorities throughout the country to act urgently in assessing and monitoring existing pedestrian bridges as well as overhead bridges with similar billboards in their respective areas.
