Bukit Aman to release daily road crash data in real-time

KUALA LUMPUR, March 15 — The Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) will release statistical information on the number of road accidents and fatalities on a daily basis.

It said this aligns with the recent decision by the Cabinet committee meeting on traffic congestion and road safety.

Its director Datuk Mohd Azman Ahmad Sapri said the road accident statistics, including fatalities, would be issued in real-time, taking data from accidents that occurred the previous day.

“Infographics will be uploaded on JSPT’s official social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter), before or by 2pm beginning today.

“The dissemination of statistical data is aimed at increasing awareness among road users and the general public about the seriousness of road accidents that occur daily,” he said in a statement today.

Azman also advised all road users to adhere strictly to traffic laws and regulations.

“Cooperation from the public is hoped to enhance further awareness of the importance of ensuring safety and reducing the rate of road accidents in Malaysia,” he said.
