YM Raja Dato’ Hanipuddin bin Raja Dato’ Nong Chik, Executive Chairman of Kawasaki Motors Malaysia said that the main cause of accidents are recklessness, tiredness, loss of control or driving and riding dangerously. Furthermore, by keeping one’s vehicle in tip-top condition, coupled with regular servicing can help reduce accident rates.

The primary focus for today’s campaign is the 16-point checkup for all motorcycle makes and models. The checkup will be conducted by trained Kawasaki technicians. Government bodies like JKJR, MIROS, JPJ and PDRM also had their own booth for educating riders.
The next Road Safety Campaign will be held in Malacca on the 4th of February 2016.
