Investment holding company Allianz Malaysia Berhad will continue to work with the Road Safety
Department (RSD) in organising the road safety advocacy campaign to reduce accident fatality rates in the country.
Central regional manager of Allianz General Insurance Company (Malaysia) Berhad (AGIC), Kok Tak Weng, said the company believes that through the campaign it can play a role in bringing down the road fatality rate in Malaysia to zero, which is in line with RSD's Zero Fatality vision.
"Last year, Allianz Malaysia held 11 road safety advocacy campaigns and distributed 550 helmets across Malaysia in collaboration with RSD, while a total of 132,000 reflective stickers were distributed.
"The company also participated in eight road safety advocacy campaigns organised by RSD'S head office in Putrajaya and their respective state offices in various locations.
"Road safety is of great importance for Allianz, as it affects everyone," he told reporters after attending the road safety advocacy campaign held in collaboration with RSD at the Sungai Rasau Toll Plaza, here today.
The campaign today is the second in a series of road safety advocacy campaigns to be held nationwide this year by Allianz Malaysia.
Some 600 specially-designed reflective stickers and 200 buckle-up reminder stickers were distributed to motorcyclists in the campaign.
The company also sponsored the exchange of 50 old and unsafe helmets for Sirim-approved helmets, and distributed 20 child safety booster seats for motorists.
Kok said the company distributed the child safety booster seats for the first time to ensure that children will be buckled up in the back seats.
RSD Projects and Programmes Implementation Division director Mohd Rusdi Mohd Darus said some 15 RSD personnel, with the cooperation of Road Transport Department and traffic police officers, were involved in the campaign.
Allianz Malaysia's collaboration with RSD began on July 18 2011, when a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between its general insurance arm, AGIC, and RSD, with their first joint campaign held at Kuala Lumpur Sentral.
