Road trips are meant to be enjoyable, however these should not come at the cost of safety. Shown on X/Twitter, a video depicts a family of four travelling in what appears to be an MPV or van that has had its passenger seats stowed or removed.
In place of the seats, a mattress has been placed as the ‘floor’ of the vehicle, where the occupants – one adult and two children – are sitting unsecured, with the adult appearing to prepare a meal for consumption in the vehicle. Meanwhile, the driver is in position, at the controls of the vehicle.
While the journey as shown in this video clip appears uneventful, and the road seems to be clear of traffic as seen through the windscreen, this practice remains highly dangerous as unsecured occupants will effectively become projectiles should there be a collision at speed.

As seen in the rearward-facing part of the video, there are sharp, exposed corners of furniture in the interior of the vehicle, which are hazardous. It may appear fine to use, until the driver needs to take evasive manoeuvres.
Beyond vans and MPVs, having seatbelts fastened for all occupants within a vehicle is crucial to surviving a car crash. A 2017 report by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) of the United States stated that drivers are twice as likely to be killed in a crash when the passenger behind them is unsecured, or in other words, not wearing their seatbelt.

I have commented on a previous article in PT.
in this country people lack awareness on safety!!
Tribalistic mentality. Sleeping mat on bullock cart from bygone era to present day matress mat on automotive vehicle to future era of flying car they will stubbornly continues this legacy…..
Moving coffin DIY
Kami ni tak lupa asal usul mcm org lain. Habis berak lap jubo guna jari pastu jilat. Omputih cakap living under the rock giteww
Tradisi turun temurun. Tak kisah la korang nak gelak kitorang pun.
Kitorang bangga sebab mentaliti suku mcmni tak lapuk ditelan zaman & diamalkan turun temurun
Let them die lar at least it lowers the stupidity level in Msia.
Their birth rates to the roof. Stupidity will only get worst
At this rate we don’t have enough space to bury their dead. Their population is to the roof and their birth rate is uncontrollable
Same excuse during Covid deaths yet there are many more died post Covid. There is always space on land for the dead.
Terima kasih PT tulis artikel menonjolkan kebolehan kami tak kisah baik atau buruk. Dah lama orang lain pandang rendah kat kami. Sedih tau
Bravo, convert vehicle to a Moving Coffin.
oh my god……pls learn a bit abt safety.
Never learn can’t learn. Our type are not born with intelligence. Best part is our parents don’t practice what they preached. Omputih cakap ketam ajar anaknya jalan lurus gitewww
Learning is our disability. Kitorang OKU otak gitewww
Is this even legal? The Government should have looked into this matter a long time ago before uneventful things take place. This trend has been going on for years…
waiting for really bad result, then action
Can’t even make child seats mandatory nak cakap pasal legal? What talking uuuu? Kita mengamalkan pembiakan secara tak terkawal sebab gatal di bawah. Omputih cakap breed like rabbits gitewww
We’re busy looking into another long overdue issue. INCREASE OUR OWN SALARIES WHILE DOING NOTHING!
These are mostly B40 folks. They will never want to spend money on proper child seat but will buy sport rims, lowered suspension, soundstream player, faux carbon decoration and more importantly their healing-foldable-camping-chair.
Not necessary B40 folks. Come to my taman, you can see big MPV with sunroof kids sticking out fully stand up. All boils down to common sense and attitude towards road safety. And also enforcement!
Those are B40 with MPV.
B40 selera T20
Pastu buat kelab kereta kelab moto konvoi ramai2 berhenti tepi jalan bawah jambatan buat mesyuarat agung. Kadang2 menyemak kat stesen minyak susahkan orang lain nak isi minyak pastu masak megi ambik video upload fesbuk
Speechless… Mana otak dia org?
Yg ada otak tu pasang kat bontot tapi kebanyakannya OKU dilahirkan tanpa otak
Funny we don’t see this kinda foolishness with other races. Breaking the law is one thing but recording it and posting on socmed is next level stupidity. Probably wanting to try healing in lokap and self inviting a police arrest?
Yes bcoz other races drives without seatbelts and use those MR DIY clips to prevent seatbelt warning alarm. Every race has its own foolishness and problems, stupidity on the road is not exclusive to only one race or another.
tau tau je ni jenis apa…
Jenis B40?
Bodo
TQ for the compliment
i have kids as well and this is just stup1d at the highest level
You have kids and I have kids but what you have I don’t have is intelligence
Kalau di negara luar ni, “parents can be charged”, to quote artikel sblm ni. Tapi, tapi, tapi, aku yakin, satu family ni dah daftar sebagai penderma organ. We have nothing to loose, people! Unless, splat!!!
Say thank you to us
alza? exora? if jpj, polis, trafik jumpa harap terus sita la kereta ni.
Hyundai Starex
how come? starex got 8-11 seater kot
Kenapa kecualikan alphard vellfire? Tengok kami tak mampu? Rasis benau kau ni. Kita suka beli kete sambung bayar
ala tanya pun nak sentap mamat b40 ni.
Naik moto tanpa helmet
Main lajak
Keluar badan dari sunroof ambil angin
Tak pakai seatbelt
Budak duduk dengan bapa depan stering
Masak meggi kat petrol station
Mat moto langgar lampu merah
Dan paaanjaaang lagi ….
Dah mentaliti sejak dulu ..
Puak kami power kan? Nak tunjuk bodo mcm kami ni xsenang tau
Emergency brake, isteri & anak become superwomen and superkids! Hooray for genius!
Lepas accident bulih pasang balik badan dorang tu macam six million dollar man. Janji tak jadi macam Frankenstein sudah
when accidents happen and their child passes away, both parents will say “God loves them more and took them to heaven”.
Then papa look at mama and say “let’s make another one”
otak macam ini how to survive in malaysia
We don’t. We rely on cash aids and handouts from the gomen to live
some of the comments are a pure right out racist.
since when on PT ?
Don’t see any particular race being mentioned here
We all should be concern of the safety of this vehicle. However, honest question: what makes it different from a campervan or caravan? Do they need to buckle up inside one. Or can they only unfasten their seatbelts and move around only when it’s parked? What are the regulations locally and in developed coutries?
Inilah pentingnya KONDOM. Utk mengelakkan generasi2 mengundang ni. Malang x berbau mereka2 shj x mengapa, dikhuatiri akan melibatkan nyawa pemandu lain.
