DR Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, wife of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, has advised people travelling back to their hometowns for Hari Raya to prioritise safety.

Wan Azizah, the Bandar Tun Razak MP, said she wanted everyone to ensure a safe journey to their hometowns and then return back to work.

“Being careful on the road is not just a slogan but a practice,” she said in Kuala Lumpur today.

Wan Azizah said statistics showed that crashes were the second highest cause of death in the 15-40 age group, numbering 1,741 casualties in 2021.

She added that crashes were the leading cause of death for children under 14 years old. – Bernama, April 19, 2023.
