14. G3 G2 Note: G1-unrestraint occupant velocity G2-restraint occupant velocity G3-vehicle velocity Time Velocity Primary Impact Effect of Velocity against Time to Occupant G1 Speed does not kill, sudden stop will. For less injury ; G2 < G1 The best restraint condition ; G2 = G3 Summary

17. Summary Today’s consumers are concerned about safety of their automobiles as well as other everyday items. At Proton, we believe that safety of an automobile is the sum of several systems working together. Many government’s rate the vehicles sold in their country by classification of a Crash Test Rating. It consists of a 1 to 5 star rating applied to each vehicle by the NCAP. This is important due to the fact that many components, subsystems, and parts, which make up a vehicle can contribute to its performance in a high speed crash test.

18. With this in view, we at Proton works towards not only meeting the International Safety Regulations such as ECE, EEC, ADR & Gulf Standards, but beyond all that. The NCAP points for all our models launch from 2004 achieved at least 3 star rating for Euro & Australia NCAP. Countries like USA, Europe & Australia has their own government body which enforces the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS), European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval (ECWvTA) and Australian Design Rule (ADR).

19. In Malaysia, we are not lacking of the Standards. Sirim for instance, has contributed much to produce Malaysian Standards by appointing Technical Committee from various organizations such as government bodies, suppliers, car manufacturers, universities etc to draft and make amendments to the current Malaysian Standards. Unfortunately, the enforcement is not being taken unlike countries mentioned earlier.

20. It is therefore of prime importance, that the Road & Safety Committee to spearhead this issue and proposed for a setting up of a small committee to study and proposed for the Malaysian Standards to become a Regulation for vehicles not only produced & manufactured in the country but also the imported ones. This could be the vital role to help the local car industry especially the coming AFTA to limit the (unsafe) vehicle from entering into the country but at the same time ensure the safety of the occupants is adhered .
