Kawasaki Malaysia launches Safety Riding Course

As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility efforts, Kawasaki Motors Malaysia (KMM) has launched the Kawasaki Safety and Responsible Riding (KSRR) course. The riding programme is organised in collaboration with KMM’s principal Kawaasaki Heavy Industries and K-TEC Corporation, both from Japan.

The programme is designed to raise rider awareness on safety, and the responsibility of being a motorcycle rider, in order to reduce traffic fatalities and accidents. The course focuses on bike handling and control and defensive riding, with K-TEC instructors training the initial batch of Malaysian instructors.

This is inline with government efforts to reduce fatalities amongst road users, which reached 7,152 deaths from 521,440 reported accidents in 2016. The Kawasaki Safety and Responsible Riding Course will be initially held in the Klang Valley, before being rolled out to other locations throughout Malaysia.
