The Sustainable Development Club and Community Service Society collaborated with the Department of Student Affairs (DSA) to organise the “Community Awareness Campaign” at Sungai Long Campus on 02 November 2017.

Themed at ‘On the Journey towards the Future We Create’, the campaign featured various activities such as Road Safety Talk, Dengue Awareness Campaign, Seeds of Hope exhibition and DIY corner with recyclable items.

In conjunction with the campaign, Jabatan Keselamatan Jalan Raya (JKJR) Negeri Selangor and Grand Saga conducted a talk on road safety. The talk was presented by Director of JKJR Negeri Selangor Mohammad Fakhri Mansor. With the aim to increase public awareness regarding road safety, the talk focused on three important elements, namely cognitive knowledge, skills and attitude. The aforementioned elements, according to Fakhri, are vital in order to practice safe driving.

During the talk, Fakhri mentioned that road accident was the fifth most common cause of death in Malaysia. He also highlighted the main reasons accident took place, which were due to the driver’s ignorance and carelessness. Besides demonstrating the effect of injuries using different type of helmets he also played some videos for the participants to show how accidents normally take place.

A quiz session was held at the end of the talk and participants who answered correctly walked away with prizes such as helmet, safety vest and pendrive holder. Before the talk adjourned, DSA (Sungai Long Campus) Assistant Manager Lam Lai Yuet presented a token of appreciation to Fakhri.
