Major push to increase road safety


PUTRAJAYA: With 6,000 deaths recorded in 2019, a multi-year plan is in the works to reduce road fatality figures by 50% by 2030, starting with a road safety campaign as more than 1.5 million vehicles hit the road this Chinese New Year season.

Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong says it is essential to advocate good values and discipline among motorists as this can contribute to fewer road mishaps.
