Dr Wee: Amendments to check reckless driving among Transport Ministry's biggest achievement since Perikatan took over

PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The gazetting of the Road Transport (Amendment) Bill 2020 which came into effect on Oct 23 is one of the biggest achievements of the Transport Ministry (MOT) during the Perikatan Nasional government’s year-long administration.
Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong said several fatal accidents due to drink drivers triggered the push for the amendment of the bill, especially Sections 41 to 45 to impose stricter punishment for dangerous driving, or driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
"We had consultations with a total of 345,021 people participating online, and 94% agreed to amend Act 333.
"I then continued to ask my officers, within the first 100 days (of the Perikatan administration) to present a memorandum to the Cabinet to be brought to Parliament," he said in an interview on MOT’s one-year Malaysia Prihatin achievements recently.
