This week marks the 8th United Nations Global Road Safety Week—spotlighting the urgent need to reduce traffic deaths and injuries worldwide. The focus this year: making walking and cycling safer for all. In Malaysia, an average of 18 lives are lost on our roads every single day. That’s one fatality every 80 minutes. And sadly, most of these are preventable. So as global attention turns to safer streets, how are we protecting the most vulnerable road users here at home? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Professor Dr Kulanthayan KC Mani, Executive Council Member of the National Road Safety Council of Malaysia, and Professor at UPM’s Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.
