Coming up next Merdeka - No need to pay traffic fines!
Last Merdeka, they offered a 50% discount on all traffic fines. This Merdeka, they slashed traffic fines by as much as RM200 or 70%. The justification? This will encourage offenders to pay their summonses.
On the contrary, won't this be sending the wrong signals and encourage more offences?
I have only this to say, ini kerja orang gila! OTC - otak tak center!
So what can we expect come the next Merdeka? Another offer? Maybe no need to pay traffic fines at all. Semua bantai and get away free!
Lest it be forgotten, Malaysia has the dubious distinction of having one of the worst per capita road accident death rates in the world at almost 27 per 100,000 population. This is according to latest figures from New York-based Drive and Stay Alive, Inc.
In 2004 alone, the Government lost about RM9.3 billion in terms of damage to property, manhours lost, manpower, medical bills and insurance claims due to road accidents, according to Transport Ministry figures.
There were 326,817 road accidents, with 6,623 fatalities. That means 17 lives were lost on the average every day.
Tell us, whose stupid idea was this?
