PETALING JAYA: Education must be the basis of lasting policy change to reduce drink driving related accidents in the country, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

"While the Transport Ministry will finalise the proposed amendments for more severe penalties to the Road Transport Act 1987 to be tabled in the Cabinet in June, it is also crucial for the long term to spread greater awareness to discourage drink driving.He added that this can be a start to stop the incidents of drink driving in the country.

Wee said that as the issue of drink driving was not only limited to drivers of private vehicles, but also to drivers of commercial and public transport vehicles, measures taken to reduce drink driving must also include these drivers.

We relied too on education to be bersih, cekap dan amanah. And what happened?

Education my ass. How about more stricter regulations towards these drunk drivers. How about that you nimcompoo?

Just close all the liquor store

Education DONE. STOP defending those drunkards who endangers public. Lately numerous accidents including fatal one. They don't need education anymore. What they is a set of law that will give death sentence for' drinking and killing'. That is a very effective education we require

Bukan education saja lah boss.. ketaatan pada agama itu yang paling penting ubah orang jangan minum..

as if education teaches people to rob, to be greedy and tell lies💁‍♀️💁‍♀️

How to educate on this matter when they cant even follow simple “do not balik kampung” order.
