PETALING JAYA: Senior citizens will be issued driving licences if they are able to operate a vehicle and denying one would be a last resort measure, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong"Retracting or limiting senior citizens to driving licences should be a last resort once it is proven they are unable to drive,” said the Transport Minister.
"There are also many drivers aged 70 and above who display better driving proficiency than younger drivers," he said. Dr Wee also called for all stakeholders to come together and create an effective and inclusive plan for all. He said this is because the health condition of senior citizens could contribute to road accidents. He said that senior citizens should also undergo a medical check-up and get approval from a doctor to ascertain that they are fit to drive.
You worried about senior citizens driving only? Worried more on those who drives the opposite side of road and caused death, driving while on drugs, and then later claimed to be OKU and what not!

Authorities like PDRMsia & JPJ_Malaysia shud b more proactv 2 persistently carry out enforcement on all motorists & do not compromise on basic wrongs like not stopping at traffic lights, indiscriminate parking, riding on pedestrians paths, riding against flow of traffic.
Improve public transportations first then before suggesting such things

Pick the right battles please. 1. Drunk driving. 2. Competence of lorry drivers and accountability of lorry owners.
Pas-Umno-BN-Bersatu-PH fellows are really very stupid. Do they know how many taxi drivers, lorry drivers, bus drivers, company drivers are senior citizens?
17% and they will be marginalised and victimized. The 83% lot is a non issue.

Cops propose govt to limit issuance of driving licences to senior citizens'As people age, they are more likely to suffer from health conditions.' Has a comprehensive study been done and what are the findings....? Do that first and then propose. Do you know how many senior citizens are fending for themselves.....? What is in PDRMsia's head? One case like that and PDRMsia is telling everyone that? What will PDRMsia tell people next? Lock up all old people? Is Malaysia now becoming like Pol Pot regime? It's a superb idea, as long as the govt pays for the seniors' medical checks. But don't just stop at that. We also ask PDRM to do a study to see which group of people or politicians are prone to accept bribe. Then propose to the govt to ban them from holding public office.
