Shell hosted its first #ShellSelamatSampai Road Safety Carnival as part of its road safety initiative, in Putrajaya recently. The event was graced by the Secretary-General, Ministry of Transport, Yang Berbahagia Dato Jana Santhiran Muniayan, who was representing the Deputy Minister of Transport Yang Berhormat (YB)Datuk Haji Hasbi Habibollah.
Shell has a long history of advocating for road safety among Malaysians. Shell’s effort in promoting road safety spans over six decades and has benefited over 1 million school children nationwide.
With this carnival, Shell hopes to reach the community in an engaging and fun way.
“Shell has worked very closely with various stakeholders including many government agencies, over many decades, to promote road safety among Malaysians. This carnival is the result of a collective effort, and I would like to extend my gratitude to all our partners who have been steadfast in their support of Shell's road safety initiatives in Malaysia. Creating awareness on the importance of road safety is crucial and Shell will continue to strive, do our part to make the roads safer for everyone,” shared Siti Sulaiman, Country Chair of Shell Malaysia and Senior Vice President, Upstream Malaysia.
The carnival kickstarted with the #ShellSelamatSampai Fun Run, a 5km road safety friendly race. The Fun Run was flagged off by Shairan Huzani Husain, Managing Director of Shell Malaysia Trading and Shell Timur.
Activities at the carnival included a sharing session on the maintenance of motorcycles led by the Shell Advance team, learning about blind spots of heavy vehicles using two Shell road tankers that are newly equipped with 360-degree view and the latest Active Fatigue Detection Device, that vibrates the driver’s seat to alert the drivers when they get tired. Visitors could also try the seat-belt convincer machine and a driving simulator.
The carnival also had entertainment and games for the whole family. There were also other booths by Shell’s road safety partners, and JPJ had a driver’s licence renewal mobile truck. The Putrajaya Food Truck Association and Shell Café provided food and beverages.
Additionally, the #ShellSelamatSampai e-Learning Module has been included in the Education Ministry’s DELIMa portal. This provides a fun learning experience on road safety education to 2.5 million secondary school students nationwide.
The #ShellSelamatSampai Varsity Challenge empowers university students to develop road safety intervention solutions in an innovative manner to promote road safety.
Shell Malaysia is grateful for the support of its esteemed partners namely the Ministry of Transport, Road Transport Department (JPJ), Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS), Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM), Ministry of Education, PanduLaju and many others who have contributed their time and expertise to the success of #ShellSelamatSampai.
