NGO should focus on own cause


ELDERLY DRIVER.

A NON-GOVERNMENTAL Orga­nisation by the name of Malaysians Against Rape, Assault and Snatch Theft (Marah) is trying to wade in on road safety by proposing that medical checks be made mandatory for drivers above the age of 65.

Its founder Dave Avran cited a recent incident of a vehicle being driven on the wrong lane of the New Pantai Expressway near Taman Dato Harun. The driver was a 76-year-old man suffering from dementia and hearing problems.
