Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 62871, member: 636"] Transport Minister Anthony Loke defended his position on child safety seats after facing online criticism for discussing the Bukit Kajang toll plaza fatality. The minister suggested proper restraints might have saved the 12-month-old victim who was thrown from a vehicle during Saturday's collision caused by suspected brake failure. Social media users condemned his remarks about the child's lack of safety equipment during the four-vehicle accident. Loke accepted public backlash but maintained his responsibility to promote child protection measures. The ministry will expand campaigns encouraging parents to secure young passengers properly. Police arrested the 42-year-old truck driver on charges of causing death through reckless operation. Officials continue investigating the crash that killed Amir Husayn after mechanical problems allegedly triggered the chain-reaction collision. [/QUOTE]
