PETALING JAYA: More and more improvements to the country’s transport ecosystem happened following the change in leadership at the Transport Ministry (MOT) since March 2020.

On the safety front, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong successfully fast-tracked the passage of amendments to Sections 41 to 45 of the Road Transport Act 1987 (also known as Act 333) to impose heavier punishment for those convicted of driving recklessly or driving under the influence.
