Malaysia Ranks No.2 In SEA For Most Dangerous Roads
It’s recently been highlighted that Malaysia has been ranked to have one of the most deadly roads in all of Southeast Asia recently, trailing only Thailand in a recent release by the World Health Organization. In Malaysia, 25 deaths out of 100,000 people were recorded, against Thailand’s 38.1 deaths per 100,000. Singapore recorded an exemplary low road-death rate of 5 per 100,000.
The alarming numbers were echoed by a statement by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS), revealed that in 2013, an average of 18.9 deaths occurred each day, equating to a total of 6,915 for that year.
Terrifyingly, MIROS has also recently revealed a study which predicts that although significant efforts put forth by the authorities involved has showed some improvement to reduce the numbers, the eventual road death figures is still largely projected to continue to climb, well into 8,760 next year, and then 10,716 by 2020.
You can read the full study HERE.
AES cameras, Ops Sikap, and strict laws of in-car safety (rear seatbelts etc.) include some of the efforts put forward by the government with hopes of reducing road fatality figures every year. But these are often countered by drivers with ignorance, impatience and carelessness. |
