Budget 2023: Tighter laws needed to curb increasing accident rates, says road safety activist


PETALING JAYA: A road safety activist has panned the "potholes" in Budget 2023, saying that more than allocations, tighter laws are needed to address the increasing rate of road accidents.

Azlan Sani Zawawi, founder of the Ikatan Silaturahim Brotherhood group, said many allocations to fix potholes had been announced over the years, including various commitments by the government to ensure zero potholed public roads in the country, but none had produced good results.
