PUTRAJAYA: The Road and Transport Department (JPJ) will intensify awareness on the use of child seats following a recent accident where a 16-month-old boy was killed.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke urged parents to ensure their child is seated in a child seat while in a vehicle.
He was responding to criticism over his comments on the accident at the Bukit Kajang toll plaza caused by brake failure on a lorry on Saturday (Sept 27).
Loke had said that the death could have been avoided if the boy was properly restrained in a child seat during the accident.

“My stand remains on the importance of child seats,” he said, adding that the matter would be addressed in detail later.
On Saturday, an accident occurred at the Bukit Kajang toll plaza involving four vehicles. A 16-month-old baby died and seven others were injured.
