Road safety talk by Dr. Leong

Dear USJ Neighbour,

Road accident is a threat to every neighbourhood and community. Over 6,000 people die on Malaysian roads each year. Another 9,000 suffer serious injuries from road accidents which often result in physical disability, trauma, loss of employment and lasting pain, suffering and financial burden to the family. About 20,000 incur minor injuries, not to mention losses due to damages to vehicles and road infrastructures. The cost to society is enormous. We can and should do something about this.

On behalf of the Transportation & Logistics Program at the Malaysia University of Science & Technology (MUST), we wish to invite you to our Road Safety Seminar on Monday 28 July 2008. The theme is "Working Together to Save Lives: Exploring Opportunities in Road Safety." Admission is free. Please help us extend this invitation to your colleagues and friends.

Speakers in this seminar will outline the issue, challenges and opportunities for small businesses, large corporations, local government authorities, research institutions, universities and local communities to participate. People and organisations can get involved in saving lives as a commercial business or as voluntary community work. The seminar will also discuss the types of funding that can be explored and raised to finance road safety ideas and activities. This will also be a seminar to get feedback and recommendations from concerned participants.

The brochure is attached. (Please read below for attachment). You can also register online at: http://www.must.edu.my/roadsafety/register.php or email your details to roadsafetyseminar@must.edu.my.

Thank you and warmest regards.

Sincerely,
Choon Heng
