Opposition chief Anwar Ibrahim today echoed calls for the Perikatan Nasional government to speed up amendments on laws penalising drunk-driving offences.
Speaking in a Facebook Live session this afternoon, Anwar said existing penalties provided under the Road Transport Act were not enough to deal with those who operated vehicles while under the influence of alcohol.
"Even in the West, there are laws that prevent driving once a person consumes alcohol regardless of them being drunk or not. Because the risk is there.
"So the government must tighten the laws as what had been suggested by the Pakatan Harapan administration before this," he said.
