KUALA LUMPUR: The move to publish daily statistics on road accidents is a timely move to create more awareness on the need for road safety, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.

The Alliance for a Safe Community chairman said it is appropriate as road accidents have become a serious problem, with an average of 18 deaths recorded on the road daily last year.

Lee said the public not only needs to be fully aware of the importance of road safety but all Malaysian road users should make an effort to be educated on how they can contribute to road safety. On top of publishing the statistics in print and online media, Lee said the statistics should also be displayed on electronic billboards on the roads.

Lee then added that more road safety awareness-raising efforts on the part of NGOs and government agencies are needed
