Najib: Don’t turn roads into rivers of death

SERDANG: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak appealed to motorists to drive safely and help prevent roads from becoming "rivers of death". In his road safety message on Friday, he urged Malaysians to always give priority to personal safety as well as that of other road users.

The prime minister made the reminder in a special video message launched by Works Minister Datuk Shaziman Abu Mansor in conjunction with the coming festive season.

"Let's discipline ourselves by adhering to the road safety regulations," Najib said.

"Careful and prudent driving will greatly minimise the risk of accident. Let's travel home in happiness and thankfulness that we can celebrate the Aidilfitri with none of our family members being involved in accidents." He also reminded the younger generation to observe road safety.

Najib also wished Muslims a Happy Aidilfitri and invited non-Muslims to jointly celebrate Aidilfitri and unite to strengthen the 1Malaysia vision.
