PDRM: Drive Fast, Death Awaits

Reverse psychology used in Ops Sikap to reduce accidents during festive period

PETALING JAYA: Motorists returning to their hometowns for the Chinese New Year holidays may be surprised to see signs urging them to speed.

But that is just half of the message on signboards to be placed at “black spots” and strategic locations along highways which reads: Pandu Laju, Maut Menunggu (Drive Fast, Death Awaits).

Reverse psychology is the latest strategy used in Ops Sikap to reduce accidents during festive seasons when traffic on trunk roads is much heavier than usual.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar, who launched Ops Sikap 25 in Subang yesterday, said that 97 accident-prone areas had been identified.

Police teams will be stationed there throughout the campaign ending on Jan 30 to ensure safe driving and to help traffic flow.

Transport Minister Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha, meanwhile, urged the public to use public transport when returning to their hometowns.

Inspector-General of Police: We will go strict this time

Ops Sikap 25 campaign kicks off

KUALA LUMPUR: The 25th Ops Sikap campaign kicked off with millions of cars expected to hit the road during the long festive break.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar launched the campaign, which ends on Jan 30, at Persiaran Plus in Subang here yesterday.

Ismail said police had identified 97 accident-prone areas throughout the country and policemen would be stationed there.

He said the officers would do a daily analysis of the areas to see what new approaches could be used to reduce accidents.

Ismail said accidents would keep increasing if the attitude of road users did not change for the better.

“Wherever you go, the main factor that contributes to road fatalities is the drivers' attitudes.

“We have enforced the law and advocated road safety but nothing will change until the people's attitude changes as the police can't be everywhere,” he said.
