Drivers use hands, eyes, and feet to control the car but their hands, eyes, and feet must be controlled by their brains. Safe driving requires alertness and the ability to make quick decisions in rapidly changing situations. Drinking alcohol can have effect on driving skills. The implications drunk while driving includes decrease concentration, allow drivers to lose focussed and drowsiness occurred. It also make the driver hinder the ability to make rational decisions while driving. 

According to The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) statistics show 21 cases of drunk driving were recorded just in the first five months this year involving eight deaths, a significant increase compared to 23 cases of drunk driving accidents recorded throughout last year. Reported cases involves drunk driver causing the death of people is not ever breaking news in Malaysia. Despite Malaysia have relaxation of drinking alcohol that not means people can take it easily, because this people who lack of humanity cause suffered to others. A few month ago, there are few cases showing this irresponsible action has attracted the attention of Malaysian in social media platform. Not only that, #PemanduMabukMembunuh  also started trending on social media with average netizen expressing anger, sadness, frustration and anger at drunk drivers who disregard road rules.

What are government waiting for? Every driver have aware of the effects of drunk driving which is mind-boggling and losing focus on driving. Why they still ignore it? Strict action must be taken before it turn to be more serious than before. If not, they don't care about other people's lives because they still dare to drive. People just need justice for what is happening, wanted to make sure others people life are safe. According to Worldwide Health Organization (WHO) international restrictions for alcohol allowed of 50 mg in 100 ml of blood. However, currently our country's law allows up to 80 milligrams (mg) of alcohol in 100 millilitres (ml) of blood.

If government just focus on the amount of fees will be faced by them, I think it will not give positive impacts to others. Because this stubborn people have such assumptions that with the lower fees rate, they are not afraid to drive drunk because they can still pay the fine. According to increase number of death cause of drunk driver, Ministry of Federal Territories announced will freeze all activities involving the production and sale of alcohol and also suspend the car license. But, government also must tighten the control and monitor this activities, the concern of likely to exist maybe a black market will give difficulty to authority.  Through this action hopefully we can reduce the number of death cases caused of drunk driver.

Conclusion, every problems we faced must have an exit way, it not ended with death. It can be solved in a healthy way and most importantly not involve the lives of innocent people. Due to this immoral incident, some of the victims' families lost their place to rely or depend on. So it is the time where Malaysian should be less selfish and to protect safety of other road users. Prevent is better than cure, because we doesn’t know if we still got a chance of second lives. Prove that we are excellent Malaysian who have higher respect to anybody and practice healthy life style to produce better quality of nation.
