Enact stiffer laws for workplace safety


THE Dewan Rakyat has passed the amendments to the Road Transport Act 1987 to provide more deterrent sentences for the offence of drink-driving or driving when intoxicated that result in the death of other road users.

Similar laws with deterrent penalties are needed to reduce or eliminate deaths at workplaces due to breach of laws, especially occupational safety and health obligations by employers, contractors, workplace owners and their officers.
