Petron Malaysia launches 2025 road safety campaign

In conjunction with the upcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri 2025 celebrations, Petron Malaysia, in collaboration with the Road Transport Department (JPJ) and the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), launched the Road Safety Program at the Petron MRR2 station in Selayang.

The objective of this program is to enhance road users’ awareness of the importance of safe driving practices.

According to Shaliza Mohd Sidek, Head of Retail Business at Petron Malaysia, “Safety is indeed an important agenda at Petron. We have conducted specific programs in selected schools and universities, particularly in areas with high rates of road accidents and fatalities, to foster a more caring and responsible attitude among new drivers and riders.”

“At the same time, we are also establishing a strategic partnership with PDRM in the Go-To-Safety-Point (GTSP) Program, which has designated Petron stations as safe points for all customers and local communities in times of emergency.

“We hope today’s program serves as a reminder for everyone to remain vigilant and drive responsibly, especially as Hari Raya approaches,” she further stated.

Petron is also collaborating with strategic partners such as Carro and Rider Gate to offer free car and motorcycle inspections.

Gramp’s Asia is providing samples of fresh-scented botanical car sprays to raise awareness of micro-sleep, while IGL Coatings is supplying products for car windshields to enhance visibility and reduce eye fatigue.

Customers can also receive samples of coffee and roselle products from NesQ.

Since 2013, Petron stations have served as community assistance centers through the GSTP program, and in 2024, 54 Petron station operators were recognized by PDRM for their outstanding contributions.

Hong Leong Yamaha launches road safety campaign themed ‘Terang Dalam Gelap’

Hong Leong Yamaha Motor (HLYM), in collaboration with the Motorcycle & Scooter Dealer Association of Malaysia (MMSDA), recently launched its annual road safety campaign themed ‘Terang Dalam Gelap’ at the Kuala Lumpur Football Stadium in Cheras.

The campaign aims to raise awareness about nighttime riding safety while also offering safety initiatives including a helmet exchange program, motorcycle safety checks, and interactive public activities.

HLYM adopted a new approach by holding the campaign in the evening, aligning it with local community activities and bustling bazaar areas.

In addition, it employs a creative storytelling approach using illustrated characters and interactive digital engagement to reinforce road safety messages.

In this way, HLYM hopes that the implemented campaign will make a more effective impact, while ensuring motorcycles are ready for a safer and smoother ‘balik kampung’ journey.

According to Dato’ Professor Dr. Jim Khor, Group Managing Director of Hong Leong Industries Berhad, “At HLYM, our role goes beyond simply providing motorcycles; we care about our riders’ safety.

“‘Terang Dalam Gelap’ is more than just a campaign; it’s our way of looking out for the community and equipping them with the right knowledge and tools to ride safely,” he stated.

HLYM will also continue this safety campaign initiative by organizing a Free Motorcycle Inspection Campaign at all authorized Yamaha dealers nationwide from March 20 to March 27, 2025.

Motorcyclists participating in this campaign will receive a free motorcycle inspection and have the chance to win exciting prizes sponsored by Genblu Reward.
