We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again – whilst on the move, the primary item of safety equipment in a car is the seatbelt. Airbags, electronic safety and driving aids may do their part in the event of an accident, but it all can count for nothing if you don’t buckle up.
As shown in a video uploaded on Facebook by user Wiki Rakyat, the consequences of not being strapped in securely in a vehicle can be quite impactful, in a thoroughly wrong manner. Likewise the use of a motorcycle helmet, and by that we mean a properly attached one. While it won’t stop or prevent mishaps, it could mean the difference between life and death.
With motorists and road users generally having a lackadaisical approach in their view of these items, the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety (MIROS) has come out to say that stringent and continuous enforcement by authorities on seatbelt use in cars and the usage of helmets on motorcycles is needed to prevent road fatalities, Bernama reports.
The institute’s chairman, Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye, said enforcement of seatbelt and helmet usage should be ongoing and intensive, and the action has to be highly visible and well publicised. “It should be conducted predominantly in locations where there is an increased crash risk,” he said via a statement.
Lee added that there should be moves to introduce community-based programmes as well as increase social awareness on the matter, these focusing on showing road users the benefits of seatbelt and helmet use. He also encouraged vehicle manufacturers to install seatbelt reminders, not just for the front seats, but also for the rear seats.

How to enforce when the PDRM is always asking money to settle an offence? PDRM should enforce the laws. When PDRM are themselves breaking the laws and promoting danger by asking for duit kopi, habis lah Malaysia.
Be like SIngapore and Australia. There is no sorry. there is no duit kopi. Immediate saman.
here in Malaysia, PDRM officer himself will ask you to settle and he will tell you how much.
I hope MIROS can speak to the IGP to clean up his force first.
disagree with seatbelt enforcement. we should let the law of natural selection takes it course, Darwinism.
ppl who dont wear seatbelt are generally stupid-er, if there is such a classification. For a better world, please die…
the world is being bog down by stupid peeps
The bitter truth.
Stupidity has no cure, higher chances of death for those stubborn to wear seat belts is nature achieving balance.
First clip. The person actually fell out from a white VIOS!!!?
bodoh, enforcement should start with u..not by enforcement officers..u want tongkat or what?
While i am not a fan of the police, i think its unfair to blame them. People should be held responsible for their own actions, or lack of it.
For Proton, please double check if your seatbelts are working properly. Don’t play play with Proton quality.
You’re one to talk.
Go look in the mirror and see your beloved UMW Toyota care about RV or safety. Poi.
Check your son proton first
If my son has a Proton, I will ask him to scrap it IMMEDIATELY. No one likes to keep junk at home, do you?
those flying in the air, actually have their seats ejected like a fighter aircraft.
2 Main reasons for terrible motorist attitude on the road:
1. LACK OF ENFORCEMENT
2. If caught, CORRUPTION!
How to enforce when near roadblock wear seatbelt..after go through roadblock unbuckled
When no police/jpj..red light no problem. When police around follow rules like an angel. How to enforce?
Imbeciles always blame other people
Your own life pun nak kena enforce ka? Cannot think for diri sendiri is it? I thot oposition supose to be beter?
Hmm..talking about seatbelt..even driving without license is the norm today..where’s the enforcement?
No need to enforce &just let it be…. similar to natural selection only the wearer will have better survival%
Zou guang :-P
i like the last video, its a 1080 degree flip and nobody can do that in olympic games
Most Malaysians dun wanna wear seatbelts cuz they think complying to the law means they suppork BN Gov.
Even when got hi tech car beeping when no put seatbelt, they just buy those cards that slip into safety belt lock.
This is malaysian mentality.
It’s sad to see in the comment section from the fb page, that in 2016, there are still people who thought that wearing seatbelts would cause more harm than any good.
He can say that wearing seatbelt would be dangerous if the car get crumpled, it’s better to be thrown outside. WTF.
So the police will be blame after collision? No! Seatbelt is to prevent driver & passenger serious injuries/death.If the law ask u to buckling up just to make police earn bribery money,a lot of enforcement officers be millionaires. Even cheap viva/axia have 2 airbags,so what’s your excuse now?
Their excuse is ini semua salah Najib. Jangan persoal or u will be diharamkan
Stop whining , start enforcing safety among our close ones. Yeah those, unlawful enforcer are part of the trouble. But whining while doing nothing citizens are only making it worse.
That video damn scary! I cannot understand why people still dont wear seatbelts!
