 Topic: Road Accidents in Malaysia

1. Question and Answer

Why do road accidents happen? Are the majority

of
accidents in Malaysia caused by the careless driver
or are they caused by something that the driver
cannot control? Studies by the Road Transport
Department show that more than 90 per cent of
accidents are caused by the carelessness of the
driver.
 Topic: Road Accidents in Malaysia

2. Use newspaper headlines

Four killed in car-bus collision

Six die as car plunges into ravine
Baby killed, two injured in crash

Not a single day passes without headlines like

these appearing in our newspapers. Our
newspapers are filled with road accidents statistics
and fatalities. Efforts are being taken by the
authorities to reduce the number of accidents.
 Topic: Road Accidents in Malaysia

3. Use dialogue

I bet I can ride faster than you, said Mat to his

friend, Harris.
Okay. Ill race you to the bridge. Whoever gets
there first is the winner, replied Harris.
The stupidity of the situation hits us. It is a race
without cause. It is a blind challenge. It shows
immaturity on the part of the boys. Adults too, are
caught in same situations. Instead of saying no,
they give in to such challenges. Such negative
mentality should be erased in the minds of drivers
to reduce road accidents.
 Topic: Road Accidents in Malaysia

4. Give an opinion

Malaysian drivers are selfish and inconsiderate.

They do not care about road safety. Once they are
on the road, they break every traffic rule, they
speed and behave like kings of the road.
 Topic: Road Accidents in Malaysia

5. Give a quotation

It saddens me to see that the number of road

accidents in constantly on the rise. Each year sees
an increase in the number of accidents especially
during the festive season. These are the words of
our Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
 Topic: Road Accidents in Malaysia

6. State a fact about the topic

The number of accidents is constantly on the rise.

From a mere 73,250 accidents in 2009, the number
of accidents has increased to 215,987 in 2013.
This almost three-fold increase in the number of
accidents is shocking. It calls for urgent measures.
