Tidak apa attitude among authorities and public a major cause of concern theSun theSundaily Malaysia BatangKaliLandslide BatangKali news landslide
Vehicles crushed by debris against a structure at the site of the landslide in Batang Kali, Selangor. – REUTERSPICA lack of safety consciousness and public unwillingness to be aware of it are among the main causes of major accidents and tragedies in the country.
“The poor maintenance culture in Malaysia gives rise to accidents and disasters. The safety culture in the country is very poor. The authorities and the public need to embrace safety and make it their priority. “It is just as worrying that many buildings in the country do not have a certificate of fitness or even a fire safety certificate. The big problem in this country is the authorities are reactive when it comes to safety, and not proactive at all. What happens when a building without a fire safety certificate catches fire? Only after lives are lost would the authorities act.
“It is high time the authorities start promoting the importance of safety. This will require a paradigm shift in thinking at all levels of government and the public. Many disasters are avoidable. It is the lack of enforcement that allows the operators of illegal holiday sites to continue their activities.”
“Where is the National Disaster Management Agency ? They are well aware of the dangers the monsoon season poses. Why have they not carried out public safety programmes to warn the people about the dangers the monsoon can bring?”
