A Momenrandum of Understanding (MoU) was today signed between MIROS Director-General Professor Dr Ahmad Farhan and RIOH President Professor Dr Zhou Wei at a simple ceremony in MIROS.

With the agreement in place, MIROS and RIOH will jointly-undertake various research and innovation activities in pursuit of advancements in road safety. This is in line with reducing the number of fatalities, casualties and road accidents in Malaysia.

"The focus of this collaboration will be to identify and put forward recommendations and findings with the aim of introducing intervention programs that will have the greatest impact on saving lives", said Professor Dr. Ahmad Farhan. "While many initiatives are already undertaken by the Government under the integrated Safe System Approach, road safety is a concern that constantly evolves and therefore requires ongoing measures, new strategies and policies to be put in place and implemented to achieve the desired outcomes".
