A Read the news report about pedestrians running a big risk on Malaysian roads.

PETALING JAYA: A large number of pedestrians are getting killed in

traffic accidents each year. The majority of them are children and senior
citizens. The deaths were mainly due to hit-and-run accidents,
jaywalking, crossing busy roads and dangerous driving. 562
pedestrians are killed annually mostly in urban areas in the past three
years.
Karen Goonting, who heads the Human Factors and Accident
Costing Unit at the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research,
highlighted other police statistics which showed that 40% of
pedestrian casualties were children, with at least 40% of them killed or
severely injured. Most of the victims were aged 6 to 10. Pedestrians
aged 66 to 70 years made up the highest number of fatalities,
according to the statistics. More than 70% of pedestrian casualties
happened because people did not use the facilities provided or they
crossed roads at the wrong places. While pedestrian deaths only
represented less than 10% of the total of road accident fatalities each
year, the number recorded was a cause for concern.
Federal Traffic Chief Senior Assistant Commissioner Datuk Abd Aziz
Yusof said, Pedestrians ranked third in road fatalities, after motorists
and motorcyclists. Thats quite a high number. Measures to reduce this
must be taken as soon as possible,
SAC Aziz said pedestrians were easily one of the most vulnerable
people on the road, so they must take extra precautions and remain
vigilant at all times. I advised pedestrians to always use pedestrian
pathways and crossings. The local authorities should have more
facilities for pedestrians, especially sidewalks. It would be good for
everyone if more of such facilities are built.
Motorists too have a role to play in ensuring the safety of
pedestrians. They should be mindful of pedestrians and not bully
them. They should be more considerate towards pedestrians. Mutual
respect between the two groups is vital towards reducing the number
of pedestrian deaths.
Drivers and motorcyclists are required by law to provide right of way
to pedestrians. They can be fined up to RM300 per offence, under
Section 75 of the Road Transport Act. The Act subjects pedestrians to

A Read the speech below on keeping safe.

Good afternoon, teachers and students of SMK Sungai Bill. I am

Inspector Feisal from the Sungai Bill Police Headquarters. First of all, I
would like to express gratitude to your principal, Mr Abdul Karim, for
inviting me to come and present this very important speech on
Keeping Safe to teachers and students. It concerns the well-being of all
students. So, please lend me your ears.
First, I would like to refer to those of you students who walk or
cycle to school and home. You should never cycle or walk alone. Dont
take short cuts through isolated areas or back lanes. If an unfamiliar
person or a strange vehicle approaches you, continue walking or run if
you can. Dont loiter or hang around alone in lonely and dark places. If
you see a suspicious person hanging around or near the school or at the
entrance, inform the principal or the security guard immediately.
For students who travel by bus, here are a few rules to observe.
Always wait in line to board the school bus. To avoid accidents, do not
push or jostle each other. Always wait for the bus to stop before you
get down. If you try to get down when the bus is still moving, you might
fall and be injured.
Some students are driven to school and fetched by their parents.
These students should observe certain rules to keep safe. Never
play on the road while waiting for your transport. If you see your car
approaching, do not run in front of or behind a bus. Oncoming cars
cannot see you. Wait for your car to stop at the place where you are
waiting. If your car is on the opposite side of the road, wait for the bus
to move away before you cross the road. Make sure you look to the
left, right and left again before you cross the road.
Finally to everyone in the audience, whether you walk, cycle or travel
by bus or car, hold on to your personal things tightly. Dont talk on the
mobile while walking along the road. Pay attention to your
surroundings. Call your parents and friends if you are in trouble.
Never accept food from strangers. Another big no-no is - avoid
talking to strangers and unknown persons at bus stops and public
places.
Thank you for your attention and if there are any questions, please feel free to
ask them.

A Read the text below.

The demographic shift has moved population from rural to urban

and semi-urban communities. Problems like food security,
transportation cost and frequency, heavy traffic and carbon
monoxide emissions would increase carbon footprints and become an
environmental concern.
UPM through Urban Agriculture hopes to encourage urban
dwellers to grow their own food. They can individually plant food in
their own houses through vertical farming on balconies and indoors.
They can work with members of their respective communities to
establish mini-urban farms in backyards and home gardens to produce
fresh, healthy vegetables and even fish.
UPM intends to encourage collaboration and co-operation between
the residents and the various local authorities. Modest but usable vacant
land within the communities could be used for planting vegetables and
rearing of poultry and livestock.
As urbanites need help, UPM has trained a corps of students from
the agriculture faculty to be volunteers to assist individual households to set
up their farms as hydroponics and aquaculture, teaching them vertical
farming and transferring the knowledge. Students put their knowledge

Title : On the Road to Becoming Financial Savvy
Are you financial savvy? Do you want to find ways to
stretch your money? Here are some suggestions to know
how much money you have, how much you need for
expenditures, and how to reach your goals by cutting back
on what you spend.
First, practice self-control. To avoid quick decisions on
sale items, prepare and stick to a shopping list . Set a
spending limit forimpulse buys. Limit the amount of cash in
hand. The less cash you carry, the less you can spend.
Second, research before buying. To get good value,
look into the quality and reputation of the product or
service. Read reviews and talk to knowledgeable people.
