Here’s some good news. The nationwide road safety operation dubbed Ops Selamat 13 for this Hari Raya travel period showed a 9% drop in fatal accidents, with 189 cases recorded from 207 cases in the corresponding period last year, Bernama reports.
Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department director SAC Shahrul Othman Mansor said motorcyclists and pillion riders were still the major contributors to the fatal accidents. He said the number of deaths also went down by 11%, with 200 cases recorded this year compared to last year’s 225.
“The number of accidents causing severe injuries also decreased by 34 cases, which is 72 cases compared to 106 last year,” he said during a press conference in conjunction with a special operation at the Sungai Besi Toll Plaza.
However, Ops Selamat 13, which ends today, saw the number of summonses issued increase by 40% to 201,835. The traffic cop said revealed that exceeding the speed limit was the top offence recorded, with 175,745 cases.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
In summary, more offenses, less eksidens, less deaths. Safer cars now on the road most probably pushed the figures lower.
Nice analysis from someone who can’t even spell properly
Reduced speed limit at federal and state roads for Raya, as decreed by MOT proven right
You are right. The best part is john think it’s funny. If you read too much of john comment, you will also fail your spelling. Better avoid him with a 10 foot pole.
ekcheli, mispeling was intensyenal.
:-)
Actually, new Government now. Less corruption and less duit kopi. So better and more honest enforcement. This has resulted in lower accidents.
Bravo to a clean Government.
Lols… overnight transformation my foot. The officers were not all corrupt In the first place.
People like you are the one going around undermining everything by any and everyone in the force. Painting them in a bad light and casting aspersions.
If the force so corrupt, don’t call them if you’re a victim next time.
True dat bro. But then they turn around and says Polis is cruel for not rescuing them.
so says the guy who says we have the cheapest petrol prices in the world…oh wai
dont forget also he told us Malaysia has cheapest car prices in the world too
yeah guys i do think that after just 1 month suddenly everything becomes cheap
Tell me. When highways are all jammed up. Slow moving sometimes stationary. How to accident? This is good. Sell more cars.
BTW, isnt it premature to end today when most wud becoming back either tomolo or Sat? Then wud eksidens & death in these 2 days not counted in?
Are you part of PDRM? I think they know better.
Then are you part of PDRM? My family and plenty more of us are still in kampong readying to return home either tonite or early tomorrow morning. You don’t speak for us.
This figure can oso be used to reflect living cost…higher living cost,lower death rate from accident as people less travel?
Incorrect. The higher number of saman indicates that more percentage of pipu were travelling. That despite the so-called higher living cost.
No lah..they travel overseas instead of balik kampung. That’s why less people die on the road meh
Surprisingly, this year RAYA I saw a lot of police vehicle along PLUS highway.
Not like last time, can’t see any. If got pun during R&R area.
Still 189 people lost their lives. :(
traffic jam and no one can go fast. so no one died.
quite true lol. my ferrari 488 barely hit 60kmh
basically,
1. stricter and more enforcement,
2. less duit kopi
contribute to
1. less accidents
2. less death
that’s why
1. more summonses issued.
Which had been the trend since the past few years. But less eksidens and deaths r more likely due to more car users and safer cars nowadays.
