An inconvenient truth: Australia and Malaysia's road toll comparison

Source: 7 News, Yahoo Australia, 27 December 2009

1. I am looking at the Australian festive season's road toll, and that makes me feel Malaysian road death toll is really extraordinarily high. You can say we have more festive seasons so we have higher road accidents and road death, but Australia is almost 24 times bigger than Malaysia, with slightly bigger population than Malaysia.

1. Look at the single and double-digit numbers above, and then try to look at Malaysia's death toll which are NOT fewer than 4 digit each year:

It's kinda sad and scary really :(
