Perodua Participates in Balik Kampung Campaign

by -

Perodua, in collaboration with Super Food Technology Sdn Bhd and PLUS Berhad will be jointly involved in a campaign during this festive season which is entitled Selalu Beringat, Pasti Selamat. The campaign, which complements the efforts of the government to minimise accidents during the festive season, will also have the cooperation and support of the Road Safety Council of Malaysia, police and JPJ.

The campaign is in line with Perodua’s aim of creating awareness among motorists about road safety and why it is important that every driver ensures that his or her vehicle is in good running condition before embarking a journey, regardless of whether it is a short one or a long one. In this connection, the campaign also aims to encourage drivers to take a break when driving long distances so as to avoid fatigue and drowsiness. Failing to take such rest breaks can have an effect of safety too.

During the campaign period, Perodua will have ‘coffee stops’ at selected locations along the North-South Highway as well as on the East Coast. At each of these stops, Perodua personnel will offer minor service assistance as well as distribute free angpow packets to every vehicle (while stocks last).

For the first time, such a campaign will be extended to Federal and State roads, in contrast to previous campaigns which were only along highways. However, due to increased usage of highways by more motorists due to the higher standards and speedier travel, there is still greater attention given to highways. The highways have also been found to record lower accident rates than secondary roads: according to police statistics, 95% of accidents and deaths from such accidents occur on roads that are not highways.
