The review aims to allow tougher and more decisive action against offenders driving under the influence (DUI), whether drunk or drugged,” he said, adding that JPJ will launch a stronger advocacy campaign to raise awareness of DUI dangers.
On the proposal to set up a special court for serious accident cases, Aedy Fadly welcomed the move but noted it would require additional resources. “If the government decides to establish a separate court, JPJ fully supports it,” he said.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke announced last Monday that amendments to Section 44 are being drafted, including provisions for compensating victims’ families.
Recent incidents highlight the urgency of stricter DUI enforcement. On March 29, a motorcyclist died in Klang, and two days later, six people, including a child, were injured in an accident involving drunk drivers on Jalan Pintasan Kajang-Semenyih.
