PETALING JAYA: Addressing safety concerns related to motorcycle users is a main priority for Malaysia in its effort towards achieving its aim of reducing road fatalities by 50% by 2030, says Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

He said that in line with Malaysia’s commitment under the United Nations 2nd Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2023 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2030, all key parties, including state governments, industry players and non-governmental organisations, are collectively working to ensure the culture of road safety is roundly embraced by all strata of society.
