The data raise controversy

It’s unlikely to have such reduction

Questionable Questionable SStatisticstatistics

• Decreasing accidents: The road safety seems to be properly handled.,

• The national statistics do not represent the otherwise degrading road safety conditions as what public perceived

• The low figures prevent the seriousness of the matter

Very serious under-reporting

Underreported CasesUnderreported Cases

• Different jurisdictions contribute to overwhelming problems of cases without report (underreporting) by the police.

• The police only records reported cases.• Insurance company only record victims who propose

claim. • Hospitals do not record neither DUA (Died upon Arrival)

victims nor victims pass away after completing his/her medical treatment.

CLOSING REMARKS

• Road accident data contains severe under-reporting

• Official figures have created public ignorance on road safety for so many years to the point that putting them right will be a political issue

• Very little safety program existed• Very poor co-ordination among parties• Potential participation from public, private sectors

and local government• A common platform to organize roles of many
