Another shot at safer roads

By Brian Martin

WILL risk-based motor insurance finally make Malaysian roads safer – or is it just another well-intentioned idea like the Kejara demerit points system?

Malaysia’s roads remain stubbornly lethal. Crashes climbed from 739,877 in 2023 to 778,159 in 2024 and 790,614 in 2025. Fatalities hovered around 6,464 in 2024 and reached 6,537 in 2025, with motorcyclists accounting for roughly two-thirds of the dead.
