OUR salutations and thanksgivings are due to the police for their selfless service as frontliners, emergency responders and enforcers of the movement control order in this Covid-19 era. They have truly extended their roles and responsibilities to keep Malaysia safe. They should further act to preserve their valuable resources to continue to contribute to the development of the nation.

We are all aware that the number of road traffic crashes, injuries and deaths have decreased due to the MCO – or “exposure control” in safety terminology. In previous years we have been unable to maintain a sustained reduction in the annual number of road traffic deaths. Now that we have achie-ved some success, how can we further improve the road safety situation?
