Just-resigned Malaysian transport minister Anthony Loke has urged the road transport department (JPJ) and the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) to continue road safety efforts, particularly by acting firmly against offences that endanger road users, Bernama reports.
Regardless of any leadership changes at the transport ministry, the JPJ must maintain strict enforcement against overloaded vehicles, illegal racing and speeding, he said.
“The fight against overloaded vehicles is not the agenda of any individual or minister but a national mission that must continue because it concerns human safety and lives. The war against overloading, with or without me, must continue,” he said yesterday at the ministry’s monthly assembly – the last one he went to.
