Or what should be allowed and what shouldn’t. “Let’s do a voluntary lockdown only for a specific two-week period to bring down the curve and help our health authorities to cope with the situation, ” Lee said in a press statement on Sunday (May 9). The Alliance For Safe Community chairman said this after a dire warning from Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah that complacency in fighting Covid-19 could result in over 5,000 daily infections by the end of this month if no drastic action was taken to curb the spread of the virus.

Lam Thye: State depts, highway authorities must come up with multi-pronged approach to reduce roadkill

PETALING JAYA: There should be a multi-pronged approach by state departments and highway authorities to ensure fewer animals get killed on our roads, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye. Responding to the recent slew of roadkill, the Alliance for Safe Community chairman said this was due to decades of encroachment into wildlife habitats. The issue, he said, needed consideration and collaboration between highway authorities, the Works Ministry and state wildlife departments to work out a solution. A Star Metro report on Thursday (May 6) reported that more than 100 wild animals have been killed in accidents in Johor since 2019. This included seven tapirs that were killed since January this year.

Be safe rather than sorry

Malaysian Fire Protection Association president Michelle Hah said based on government data, on average, a fire happens every 24 minutes with an average loss of RM5bil a year. She believed that during festive seasons, there is a 60% increase in fires caused by electrical faults and a 20% increase in fires from cooking gas leaks.
