Number of fatal road accidents in Sarawak has risen this year, says state deputy police commissioner


SIBU: Road accidents and fatalities have increased in Sarawak during the first 11 months of this year, says Sarawak deputy police commissioner Datuk Ibrahim Darus.

"The state road accident and fatal accident statistics for 2023 do not show the change in the attitude of road users as expected. In fact, from January to November this year, the number of road accidents has increased, which is quite worrying," said Ibrahim on Friday (Dec 22).
