PM Anwar concerned over high accident rate among motorcyclists


KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has expressed concern over the high accident rate among motorcyclists, which is linked to weaknesses in traffic law enforcement and issues related to road maintenance.

Through a Facebook post, the Prime Minister said the same concern was expressed by the Alliance for A Safe Community chairman, Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye, who paid him a courtesy visit on Tuesday (Aug 6).

"Among the critical points of our meeting were road and workplace safety issues.

"I hope NGOs will continue to serve the community in building a sustainable safety culture, while also playing a role in conveying the government’s mission and aspirations, particularly in raising awareness about Malaysia MADANI,” he said.

Anwar said the Alliance for A Safe Community, led by Lee, a prominent social activist, promotes awareness and safety and educates the community to foster a safe and healthy culture and create a conducive work environment.- Bernama
