Stupid right!

I quote the news from the Star today:

1,092 summonses issued within a week of rear
seatbelt ruling .

> Exactly a week after the rear seat belt ruling was enforced, the Road Transport Department (JPJ) has issued 1,092 summonses nationwide, reported Harian Metro.
JPJ director Datuk Solah Mat Hassan was quoted as saying that the ruling would be enforced strictly as about 300 deaths in road accidents were caused by reckless drivers, including those who did not wear seat belts.
He added that 60% of the accidents could have been prevented if motorists and passengers adhered to safety rulings.

Foreign vehicles exempted from rear seat belt ruling

JITRA: Vehicles from foreign countries, like Singapore and Thailand, entering Malaysia are exempted from the rear seat belt ruling.
Transport Minister Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat said on Friday that the ruling was only for Malaysian registered vehicles, but did not rule out the possibility of it being enforced on foreign vehicles in future.

"But, it would be better if the rear passengers also wear the belts because the (foreign) vehicles are already fitted with the rear seat belts," he told reporters after opening a new building block for Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina Pei Min at Padang Sera.

Dato Sri..you enforced a ruling for the people to wear the rear seat belt but same time you exempt the foreign car from wearing it....Why the double standard..why you allow foreign car to have such freedom. They should follow the law in our country when they drive on our road. By doing this..it show bad example of how poor a ruling that being enforce.When we visit foreign country..we follow their local law..that is the sign of respect.


Lets have this ruling be standardise to all vehicle plying on our road.You cant have favourism just because they are foreigners.

Are Minister being exempted from wearing seat belts? If NO...then why the foreign cars are given free hand. If YES...then the foreign cars are just like Minister on our road..
