Last but not Least ... A moment of Silent for the Fallen ... R.I.P.

Below are the names of cyclists in Malaysia who have been killed or seriously injured by motorists.

Please send us additional names; please include city, date of accident, and status (e.g., killed, seriously injured). 

Note that the list below has been limited to individuals who cycle regularly, and does not include children out on a bicycle ride or individuals injured/killed where they played a role in the accident; e.g., the cyclist was drinking, ran through a red light, or was out riding in the middle of the night. 


~ List out the Full name cyclists which has been killed or seriously injured

~ With Date and place of incident happened

~ better provide with the penalties of the driver

What I can do now ???

  • Make Yourself As Visible As Possible!
 

  • Cyclists must also obey all the rules of the road!


  • Report ALL motorist run-ins to law enforcement.


  • Make every effort to be able to give an accurate vehicle description, if not the plate number.


  • Obtain and display the above removable stickers (both English & Malay version).

English Version

Malay Version

 



  • Share our Facebook Page with your cycling friends, non-cycling friends and family


  • Display the removable car decals on your vehicle.

Donations / Fund Raising Activities to support Long Term Campaigns:

As part of our campaign to increase the safety awareness of Malaysian cyclists, we are planning to produce and air a series of Public Service Announcements on Radio / TV / Billboards / Moving Billboards / Digital Billboards etc. to educate the public on how to safely pass a cyclist, make the public aware that cyclists have the same rights as any motor vehicle on the road, and make people aware of the unacceptably high number of cyclists that are injured or killed in our country every year.

Most stations will run Public Service Announcements at no charge during "off" hours but we'd like to be able to air during peak times as well, in order to reach the most people. To achieve this goal, we are seeking for donations of any amount.

All efforts are on a volunteer-basis, and no one associated with this organization will be paid for their time or services provided.
 
We'd like to recognize the following individuals, who have all made significant financial contributions to the organization; we're just as grateful for every donation, even the smallest ones, but felt that those contributing RM50 or more should be recognized.

Long Term Advertising Plans: base on 4 Pillars

1) BILLBOARDS ADVERTISING:

·         Why: We hope billboard will have an impact on the way motorists view cyclists, hopefully make them more careful around cyclists.

·         How: Determine Locations with Quotations with Billboard Companies, discuss discounted price or full / partial sponsorships from billboard companies or corporations.

·         When: May start from October 2012 (1/2 year planning and seeking sponsorships from April 2012 onwards)

·         Target one year from April 2012 onwards; hence March 2013 to be exact, all depend on how much funding we could generate in the shortest period of time.

Adam Little Foundation Billboard Idea

Digital Billboard Awareness Announcement

2) PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT ON RADIO STATIONS + TV: 

·         Why: We hope Radio and TV will be able to reach the awareness message out in a faster way with creative and emotional tactical campaign will generate more interest in the public.

·         How: Determine which Commercial Radio Stations like prima Radio Network whom has the wide range of sister stations to target for all languages, Target in Prime hours, propose 20 sec emotional ad + 10 sec public service announcement message, sponsored by corporations.

·         How: For Radio & TV community Ads production, locate suitable directors and producers whom support the campaign and able to do for free and make necessary Astro connections to be aired.

·         When: May start to be on air by May 2012 if non-peak hours are free, if need to paid then start from October 2012, same time as Billboard Ads starts.

·         Target one year from April 2012 onwards; hence March 2013 to be exact, all depend on how much funding we could generate in the shortest period of time.

3) Planning with Authorities and Legislations:

·        Seeking Legal Advise Support. If you are able to provide us with legal advises, please kindly contact us at ShareOurRoadsMalaysia@gmail.com
