The transport ministry says that it is set to review existing laws in dealing with drink driving cases to ensure their effectiveness, Bernama reports.
According to transport minister Anthony Loke, an immediate solution will be sought to address the issue if existing provisions under the law were not deemed sufficient to deter erroneous drivers.
“If the existing laws are not strict enough, we will consider to tighten them after this,” he said when commenting on an incident in Sabah on Sunday, in which four persons were killed and one injured after a car
rammed into vehicles parked at a parking lot, causing a four-vehicle crash.
The driver, who was under the influence of alcohol, is being remanded for further investigation. Loke said he had ordered a detailed inquiry into the incident.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
No drink & drive, whether in Sabah or Taiwan. Take Grab..
lol pretty sure even Grab drivers also does not want to take drunk riders..
no need to review. The laws are good. Anyway whatever new laws you come out with has no effect if the officer ask the offender for duit kopi
9 out of 10 offenders are let off the hook after a breath test when they give duit kopi. What is the purpose?
Better to clean up the officers or pay them higher gaji like Singapore than reviewing new laws
yes, jail them or fine not less than 5k
Most who drinks can easily pay that fine.
haramkan penjualan arak. settle problem
Rasuah pun haram, ramai orang makan jugak
Sesiapa yang minum arak, hukuman mandatori gantung – Yg ni mesti settle
haramkan cigarette also
Extremist mindset, haramkan orang lelaki, issue rape settled
So your solution?
good suggestion. same with cigarettes, sports toto & magnum, no benefit at all for the rakyat
How about the case where the drunk VW Polo that hits the police car near Pudu tunnel? The driver also escape the scene rather than stopping. That driver only got a mere fine after that. Please reopen the case!
How about people using handphone, it is worst than drink driving
Both r just as dangerous.This morning to work, encountered a selow moving Camry in middle lane wavering side to side. When overtake it, I saw old man looking down at his pong. Real topkek.
Implement mandatory capital punishment if caught, nuff said.
Jail. End of excuses.
No need to review this and that, Dear minister….
No need to raise the fine, etc to “scare-scare”…..becoz Mesia is full of hardcores that would break the law without even batting en eye.
Example? Beating the red light is everyday, everywhere, and anytime.
Our country already has plenty of laws, rules and regulations and all. What is very lacking (then and now) is the seriousness and all-out commitment in the ENFORCEMENT itself.
becoz of “All can kawtim. I help you, you help me thingy”.
Roadblock near place known for people drinking especially during weekend. And equip the enforcer with breath analyser. I stayed in Australia for some years and that waht they did especially on Thursday night (they mostly drink on that thursday night).
DUI.is jail term and man slaughter heading to life time.for the woman…
Hit where it hurts.. the wallet. We have been too considerate with the fines.. I propose to increase the fine for traffic offences by 1000% and impound the car on the spot.
This is not a wild idea, as this is what some other countries do.
