KUALA LUMPUR: The Transport Ministry is looking into introducing an emergency call device on new vehicles next year as part of the government's measure to boost the safety of motorists on Malaysian roads. Its Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the Ministry has received the proposal on the matter last week and was scrutinising it. The installation of the device into new motor vehicles will further improve emergency services in the event of accidents, thefts or other road calamities. The e-Call device would alert emergency services automatically via an emergency number. Basic data such as type of vehicle, time of accident and location would be provided to the emergency services.
