The MCA has called on authorities to take swift action to address Malaysia's pressing road safety concerns, particularly those involving trailer containers.

During a press conference at Wisma MCA on Friday (Nov 22), MCA Deputy President Datuk Mah Hang Soon highlighted recent fatal accidents involving trailer containers, pointing to mechanical issues such as overloading, poor structural integrity, and unsafe loading practices as key factors.

Mah also suggested banning heavy vehicles, such as long-haul lorries, from using main roads during peak traffic hours, citing a similar measure introduced by the Road Transport Department in 2022.
