PETALING JAYA: Focusing on the sale of alcohol to solve the drink-driving problem is like treating an ailment with the wrong medicine, says Datuk Chong Sin Woon.

The MCA secretary-general said this provided the opportunity to be turned into provocative material to spark tension among the diverse races in Malaysia.

"Most certainly, road accidents due to drink driving can be reduced considerably if all road users are free from driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs," said Chong. "Therefore, we should pay attention to the legislative improvements by imposing heavier penalties and bring the offenders to justice.

Genuinely wondering, ada ke mana2 pihak yg consider alcohol breath test melalui sekatan jalan raya?

So what is your solution?

Arak tu takde mendatangkan apa2 faedah pun...minum arak confirm mabuk...tutup je kilang arak kat malaysia ni dan tarik semua lesen jual arak kt 7e , 99speedmart & semua mall. Hukuman mati untuk pemandu mabuk pembunuh.

Why don’t u ask them to focus on what causes the VAST MAJORITY of road accidents. Drink driving is a sideshow. Address it but please focus on things that will save thousands more.

Ban cars because people die on the roads. What logic is this? Seriously?

Errrr isnt that the rootcause?

🥂🍻🥂Statistics don't lie

Excessive government restrictions have stagnated the economy.

Of course we have to focus on the sale to prevent drunkenness at pubs, karaokes, restaurants. Why don’t politicians just stfu.. you think we are stupid..!!!

As We know some brain really grow at their ass than sensible way. It is all about We n enforcement to do what should be done.

No source of alcohol so we solve the root cause, simple logic don't need the help of your brain cells if you have any.

Fire burns, ban fire. Easy solution. No need to think. A few people caught drink driving cause misery to others (which is sad) so curb alcohol sale, no need to think because it does not affect certain groups. Not the real solution certainly.

Doesn't the bloke know that there's no damn bloody point in talking and shouting at a wall?

This is y voters hate leaders like u. Sale of alcohol beverages shud only be allowed in pubs or home delivery. Currently anyone can buy them at any local shop, drink em and then drive away. Its not rocket science. Solution is there but all of u hv no political will to do it.

Why? Coz u drunk too?

Wow! MCA ada suara....
