Malaysia loses more than 6000 lives on road and road traffic crash is considered among the top killers of the population. Thus is a leading cause of death for all types of occupational workers through commuting crash. There is a vital need to change adult behaviour from unsafe to safe road safety behaviour towards addressing this road crash and death pandemic. However it’s a challenge to change an adult behaviour. Thus investing on the young children who are future adult road users is one way to make sure we don’t face similar problem in future. Also this initiative is special as it produces Young Road Safety Ambassadors who not only will be a safe road user in future but are tasked to change their immediate family members towards a safe road user. As such this young children are called as Young Road Safety Ambassadors.
