Read in the SUN (15th November 2005) that Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is sad and frustrated over the high number of road fatalities during the recent festive season. In the two-week monitoring duration, 233 deaths were recorded and the figure revealed 33 more deaths than that registered last year.
Hmmm .. is this road death thing preventable? This issue is very difficult to reconcile. On the one hand we may say that it's caused by human behaviour, human impatience, lack of discipline and many more probable causes. It is the cause and effect case. Then, on the other hand if, as the elders would say, live or die is at the hands of God, is this really preventable? Can it not be that the 233 peple were destined to leave this world forever at the desinated time and it so happen that it would be on the road. We believe in fate, so can this not be the case. For the sake of getting a yearly figure, can we do a monthly count of these mshaps and analyse it so that we can see the statistics monthly as well as yearly. Then we should also analyse tha nature of the accidents and fatalities, location, condition as well as types of vehicle. We need more date and analysis to come up with a reasonable probable prevention strategy - not a two-week monitoring duration. Christmas and CNY coming up!! Just a quick note: More than 800 million people fly every year. At one airport, Chicago International Airport, airplanes take off and land every minute, 24 hours per day! The commercial airlines recorded 169 deaths in a five-year average measure, and a general population risk per year of 1 in 1,568,000. This figures also revealed 0.7 deaths per 100 million aircraft miles and 0.19 deaths per million aircraft departures (year not stated). Ponder, ponder ?!! Aiyaa, tak tau lah ... |
