The picture shows people behaving very carelessly on the road. Write o composition on “The Importance of Road Safety”

The Important of Road Safety By: M.Syafie

“Look mum, there is a man under the bus!” said a little girl to his mother. In Malaysia these scene actually happen almost every day. We can see a man under a bus or a car, a car fly over the road divider, motorcycle turning to scrap metal and maybe a man flying up into the air. The actions that had been mentioned just now are not from a Hollywood movie or drama scene. They really happen in our daily life. What are those all about? Of course the situation concern road accident. Can we overcome the situation? To prevail over, we can start enthusiastic the road safety on our own. As a pedestrian, we must practice the safe way to cross the road carefully and try to avoid standing in the middle of the road. This act very, very dangerous and you are actually putting yourself in hot soup. The fact shows that, pedestrians become the victims of road accident because of the carelessness and lack of acquaintance. Frankly speaking, most of them are pupil or student, because of; they did not have any early road safety education beside, the negligence of their own parent. 3

Conversely, the road accident may happen because of the irresponsible road users. Especially for the goods transportation company, they carry the goods in a large number. The driver and the worker ought to be more careful when carrying out the job. The thing is, devoid of any safety precaution the vehicle will become the cause of another accident. For instance, in Penang Bridge last month, a crane toppled causing a massive traffic jam along The Jelutong Expressway and Bayan Lepas coastal road heading towards the mainland.

Besides that, as road user, we must always abide the rules and regulation of road safety. Somehow, not all road users know the regulation and practice them. In order to solve this matter, the vehicle license in Malaysia should be stricter in evaluating the new driver so that they know the important of rule and regulation. Moreover, the number of vehicle in Malaysia is keep increasing, according to the statistic from the Ministry Of Vehicle And Transportation, in 2006 there are about 15790732 vehicle registered, so how many vehicle out there right now? Absolutely, more. While, many road user practice safety precautions on the road. There are certain road user who are reckless and always doing something showing unethical attitude on the road. Of course for these kind of person they may bump into problem that is road summon and possibly a road accident. Recently, in Kuantan, according to the state Road Transport Department, 6,069 summonses had been released in just two weeks duration. All of the summon mostly issued to drivers who do not put on rear seatbelt.Salim Said, The Enforcer Director said “We regret that the number of summonses increase during every operation” he said during the road traffic at Jalan Kuantan-Gambang In conclusion, we may think that the practice of road safety is unimportant and do not make any sense. The fact is the entire road users should follow and practice the road safety rules and regulations. In order to avoid ourselves from becoming the new victim or causing someone to be a victim. Then, the entire road user ought to be more responsible and more tolerant when on the road. 4

Reflection

When I get this assignment, the first thing come out from my mind is, what kind of information that I should put in or other kind of fact that is suitable with my opinion writing and the article that consist of 1000-1500 words. I see my lecture, and ask her on how and what sort of thing that she want me to acquired in my assignment. Then she told to find three articles that have the same overlapping theme and any related information that I have to collect. I start looking for article, first I do some research on the daily newspaper. I decide to choose entertainment and pop culture theme. That day I heard a song that sing by the famous Rasta Movement, Bob Marley. Then I found out at the Rolling Stone Magazine that is the special edition about the 50 Immortal artists like The Beatles, The Cardigan, Jimmy Hendrix, Elvis Presley, Bob Marley and other 45 artists. No wonder they all had brought a very big impact not just on the music industry but in the lifestyle, fashion and also culture. The old day ago we can see people used to had a Elvis hairstyle.Wearing a trousers that is big cut at the bottomed a.k.a bell-bottomed. In this assignment I realize that the music is also important to our self. Every day we may heard new song new fusion of music, that is something that we cannot expect. But the way the artist represent the music is an universal kind of stuff. So, we may accept, what kind of music that suit us. I hope my opinion and my explanation in my assignment are correct can be accepted. The err is human, if there is any problem in my assignment I hope it can be

pleased and can give chances to do some correction. I accept it in order to fulfill my assignment criteria and quality.
