OPS Sikap-23: Is it effective?

1. Today is the first day of Ops Sikap-23 for 12 days. This is because Chinese New Year festival will be next week and there will be a heavy traffic starting tomorrow for holiday.

2. I just wondering whether Ops Sikap can really change the Malaysian's "sikap" (attitude) while driving on the road? Last year statistics (2010) as mentioned by PDRM (Utusan, 27-Jan-2011), the total deaths are 6872!! 19 fatalities accident/day...

3. To change "sikap" (attidude), it is a long and continual process. We can't change driver's attitude during the OPS only. We must do it everyday. The enforcement bodies play an important role, discipline our drivers!! No other way... If they make an offense, issue a ticket. No compromise (whether you are VIP, somebody's friend or son), no discount, follow the rules & lead by example.

4. Improve our enforcement system, link it to JPJ database system. Use merit/demerit system, penalize the drivers (and also their employer if it involved any industries or companies).

5. Improve driving schools syllabus if necessary if the root cause of the accident is from the driver's competency.

6. Educate the kids & public about road safety. Hopefully all of us can play our role to become a behave society on road.

7. IMPROVE Public Transport System, inculcate Malaysian to use public transport (if our public transport system is efficient then!).

next time you drive, think again, choose either to drive extra careful or decide to have good takaful/insurance coverage...at least you leave your family with less burden.
