Yii lodged a police report over the threats at the Padungan station this morning, saying that it is for his personal safety and that of his family, hoping that the authorities will take this issue seriously. “The issue is complex and real long-term solutions through a combination of proper education, incentives, social messaging, engagement and of course heavier punishments.

He said Malaysia is a multicultural and pluralistic country and we should not allow hate and such extremism to take root and undermine the unity and harmony in our country. Such actions should not be condoned by any party. He felt that dangerous driving under the influence of alcohol, or any other type of substance, ought to be strengthened and greater empowerment given for enforcement purposes, but banning it outright was not a comprehensive approach to the matter.“Greater emphasis ought to be given towards educating the public on the dangers of drunk driving and alcohol abuse in general to avoid more incidents of alcohol-related accidents on the road.
