MUKAH: Road safety should be the ultimate concern of all, not just during festive season when road users are busy travelling to their destinations.
Deputy Minister of Economy cum Mukah MP Datuk Hanifah Hajar Taib advised motorists not to drive if they are tired as it could endanger other road users.
