Veteran social activist Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye is advocating for harsher punishments for drivers who run red lights in Malaysia. As a member of the Road Safety Council, he believes current penalties are insufficient to deter this dangerous behavior. Lee is urging the government to amend existing road traffic laws to reflect the severity of the offense. He emphasizes the critical need to improve road safety and reduce accidents caused by red-light running. This call for action aims to protect vulnerable road users and create a stronger deterrent effect. Lee hopes legislative changes will lead to a significant reduction in red-light violations and subsequent traffic incidents.
