Road safety is a pressing issue across ASEAN with over 97,000 deaths annually. This comes with significant human and economic costs to the countries in the region. With Malaysia as the Chair of ASEAN in 2025, are our leaders able to strengthen regional road safety measures? We discuss ways to make roads safer with Dr Nurrul Hafeezah Sahak, Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Engineering Technology, Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia.
