Strong deterrent needed to reduce road fatalities


THE loss of a life caused by human error on the road is already one death too many. But for Malaysia, it is far from enough to cut fatal motor vehicle crashes by a small percentage. We have a more daunting goal – to halve the potential number of deaths in traffic accidents over the next few years.

That is what it takes if we want to have a road safety level that matches our aim of attaining high-income nation status by 2020.
