Last Monday, eight teenagers were killed while another eight were injured when a car rammed into them while they were cycling. Earlier in the month of February, members of two families - one in Kepong and another in Subang Jaya - died after being trapped in house fires. We speak to safety activist Captain K. Bala about what measures we can take to prevent fire from breaking out as well as precautions cyclists and motorists should take when sharing the road.
