A total of 7,644 road accidents were recorded from June 28 to July 2 during Op Lancar, which was organised by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidiladha.

Pls do OP LANCAP more frequently is good to reduce road accidents incidents
The solution is NOT doing these operasi more frequently.
The solution is applying the full steam of the law,jailing those without bail all those basikal lajak parents,rempits with parents,speed demons,food riders who repeatedly beat red traffic lights and STOP GIVING BLARDY REBATES for samans.
If parliament needs to amend certain transport laws,Mr Ahlokekor…pls take the lead ,so that those rascals dont take our laws lightly.
Each year,inspite of repeated operasi,more people die or spend their lifetime now on a wheelchair.
Albert Einstein,said Doing the same thing over n over but expecting different results…is deemed INSANITY.
5 days , 7600 accidents and 85 deaths? Average out 17 deaths everyday. Hope Minister Loke, Miros, JPJ and PDRM relook at the rootcause, starting from driving schools to stricter enforcement and no saman discounts. Lets be serious, folks.
