Holiday Mayhem Starts. Eighteen Deaths On First Day Of Ops Sikap XI
This country has millions of bozos with one death wish. To die on the highway like a stray dog knocked down by a lorry. How else can we explain this lemming-like behaviour on the roads when every festive season begins? The festivities are still a couple of days away and already 18 deaths! Where is all this going to end? Read this Bernama report and worry.
Eighteen deaths were reported in 16 fatal road accidents on the first day yesterday of Ops Sikap XI to monitor and reduce the number of road accidents during the festive "balik kampung" rush.
Federal traffic police chief SAC II Nooryah Md Anvar said Wednesday nine of the dead were motorcyclists and two were pillion riders. The others were a car driver, a lorry driver and two attendants, a driver of another vehicle and two pedestrians, she said in a statement.
She said eight of the deaths occurred on municipal roads, five on federal roads, three on state roads and two on other roads.
Altogether, 1,042 accidents were reported and 8,508 summonses were issued yesterday, she added. Ops Sikap XI will be on until Oct 31.
**** Seeing those figures should give you a rough idea of the culpability of our riders and drivers. Imagine, 8508 summonses and 1042 accidents in a day! As for those of you reading this, please take care on the road and while there is nothing much you can do if a Mat Rempit wants to end up a Mat Sempit, pass the caution on to all your friends and loved ones. Better late than dead.
