KUALA LUMPUR: Public transport operators need to adopt a proactive approach to prevent tragedies on the road, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye .

"This will help meet the national road safety target to bring Malaysia’s road fatality rate down by 40% within the next five years and help reduce the current rate of 4.9 deaths per 10,000 vehicles," he added. "These arise from ‘at work’ road accidents, including not only direct accident costs, but lost staff time, higher insurance premiums and poor public image," said Lee.

He added that employers can address the problem of tragic road accidents by establishing a written policy requiring drivers and motorcyclists to undergo safe driving practices, proper use of vehicle safety features and mandatory refresher courses.
