Almost 600,000 road accidents were reported in Malaysia in 2023. According to PDRM’s JSPT Bukit Aman deputy director Datuk Mohd Nasri Omar, 598,635 cases were reported to the police from January 1 till December 30, 2023, and of the total, 12,417 cases involved deaths.
“Meanwhile, 2,331 cases involved heavy injury, 28,511 involved light injury, while the rest of the accidents damaged only the vehicles,” he told reporters after a New Year Eve operations at the Jalan Duta toll plaza, reported by Bernama.
Mohd Nasri added that Selangor had the highest road accident rate at 173,129 cases, followed by Johor (87,370) and Kuala Lumpur (72,701). Selangor also took the unwanted top spot in terms of road accident deaths – 2,092 versus 2,010 in Johor and 1,321 in Perak.
If these figures were from a natural disaster or plague, we’d all be horrified, but no one bats an eyelid at the high number of deaths on the road, which is shocking. Let’s all be more alert and patient when driving.

Lembah Klang desperately needs a robust public transportation.
Ini semue salah PH Gomen & Selagor PKR state gomen
the people’s safety awareness is still too low and have no regards on their own safety and life.
So based on the statistic we can deduce:
1) Johor very dangerous divers – 1/2 of Selangor (173,129 vs 87,370 cases) accidents but almost the same number of fatality.
2) KL drivers are very skilled – almost equivalent accident cases in Johor but no mention of fatality cases presumably low?
So,continue giving rebates on saman..the figures will double…make no mistake.

I would prefer not to drive. I have no choice but to take control of a killing machine on the road due to the lacks of adequate public transport.
