Compensation system among further proposals


PETALING JAYA: While groups are lauding the proposed amendments for harsher penalties for causing death in drink-driving cases, many say more can still be done. Amendments to the Road Transport Act 1987 should include an effective compensation system for the family of a victim, says a lawmaker.

Ledang MP Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh said the government should consider the rights and welfare of victims and their families due to losses suffered after an accident.
