Fatal Road Accidents Ranking - Malaysia Boleh!!
The United Nations has ranked Malaysia 30th among countries with the highest number of fatal road accidents, registering an average of 4.5 deaths per 10,000 registered vehicles.
"I am not happy with that position. We want to bring the fatality rate down by 2010," Transport Minister Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy told reporters. He said the ministry has prepared a five-year plan to reduce the rate.
Chan blamed the high road accident fatality rate on the large number of motorcycles on Malaysian roads, at 60 per cent of the total registered vehicles. He said most fatal accidents in the country involved motorcyclists.
Chan was responding to a statement issued by Hong Kong's Department of Transport which placed Kuala Lumpur on top of 20 world cities with the highest number of fatal road accidents. The department's statement, carried by a local Chinese daily yesterday, stated that its survey found that Kuala Lumpur registered an average of 194 deaths in road accidents per one million population. The statement did not name the other 19 cities.
"It is misleading. The statement is very bias (sic) as we don't know what criteria they used in their survey," he said. Chan said based on the data obtained from the Kuala Lumpur traffic police, an average of 148 deaths per one million population were recorded in 2005.
"The criteria measuring the fatality rate per one million population is not widely used as most countries adopt the formula of fatality based on per 10,000 registered vehicles," he said.
**** Which ever way Chan Kong Choy wants to argue, the truth remains that we have a nation full of psychotic drivers and riders who seem to have a permanent deathwish. The only problem is that these madcaps while fulfilling their great desire to die a violent death, take along innocent people with them, who otherwise would have spent long profitable lives on this planet. Instead of wasting money drawing up 5 or 10 year plans to reduce these accidents, plans which won't work any way, just build a small 'suicide city' for these mentally crazed lunatics where they can go kill themselves and their fellow nutcases at leisure. We can use their bodies for the benefit of students of Anatomy in the dozens of medical schools sprouting around the country.

Leadership should go back to "Quran and Sunnah" Selling vehicles with unacceptable profits is 'DIRTY MONEY', corruption. It's forbidden in Islam.Mismanagement of zakat, contributions, is forbidden. Too much profiting in gambling, night clubs, pub, casinos, lead the country to more faulty incidents.Due to selfishness, greed, Religious Instuitions crumbled, crimes on the rise, morality decline to it's worst. Ulamak voice hardly heard or blocked, or censored in the media.Only Fatwa by "utamak" (my version of religious scholars who studied religion only because of career, greed, not to the cause of religious responsibility"not based on Quran and Hadith, but based on party fatwa. Let's go back to Quran and Sunnah, we can live in peace. With petrol price hike, who gets the benefit. Our roads, highways conditios are detoriating,leaderships on going with their rhetorics, voters/taxpaysers cheated and loss. Our voices prished with the wind. Allah, the Great, the Merciful.
