Petaling Jaya, 15th July 2026 – A more targeted approach with technology is being deployed by police to curb the country's rising road accident rate, says Bukit Aman.
Director of Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department, CP Dato' Sri Muhammed Hasbullah Ali acknowledged enforcement alone was not enough to change dangerous driving behaviour.
"Besides enforcement and advocacy, we are expanding the use of technology and data analysis to identify high-risk locations, accident patterns and contributing factors so that more targeted action can be taken," he said.
Dato' Sri Muhammed Hasbullah said, they would also strengthen collaboration with ministries, local authorities, educational institutions, highway concessionaires, the private sector and non-government organisations to widen road safety education programmes.
"Road safety is a shared responsibility that requires the involvement of all parties, not just police enforcement," he said.
