This year’s Ops Selamat has seen a slightly higher number of road accidents and fatalities in the city, said deputy police chief Datuk Mazlan Lazim in a report by The Star. There were 252 more accidents recorded this year compared to the previous year, which is possibly due to increased traffic in the city during this period – this is in contrast to the nationwide statistics during the first 11 days, which saw fewer fatalities.
The operation saw seven deaths recorded over the recent festive period compared to six last year, and city police recorded 2,536 accidents, mostly occuring along Jalan Kepong, Jalan Cheras and the MRR2. These areas have previously been identified as accident hot spots.
“Of the victims, three were motorcyclists, three pedestrians and one car passenger,” said DCP Mazlan. Over the same period, ending July 2, a total of 22,239 summons were issued in Kuala Lumpur alone.

7 vs 6 last year, OK lar, we consider this as good improvement if we would to take into consider the increases of traffic by 2017.
22,239 summons issue would mean 6.67 millions extra to national fun!
Thanks all enforcement officer who is on duty during this raya!
By right, if the Polis really do their work and issue saman, it won’t be 22,239 saman.
In actual fact, the figure will be 222,000 saman. 10x the amount of saman.
We all know, Raya time, PDRM also looking for Duit Raya.
Let us hope, there is less of duit Raya next year cause more accidents and deaths CAN be prevented if our cops stop looking for duit raya

Just goes to show its a mentality issue….whats the point of so many speed trap cameras etc? Basic respect for one another and law abidance on our roads are non existent anymore.
