Inspector-General of Police Khalid Ismail said 90 fatalities were recorded during the period compared with 77 previously, reported Buletin TV3.

“Therefore, I urge all road users to always comply with traffic laws, remain patient, ensure their vehicles are in good condition, and get sufficient rest before starting their journeys.

“Remember, life is irreplaceable,” he said at an Ops Selamat 25 and 26 appreciation ceremony.

Ops Selamat 25 was carried out during the Chinese New Year holidays, and Ops Selamat 26 was conducted throughout the Hari Raya Aidilfitri period.

Khalid said the total number of road accidents rose slightly by nearly 1%, with 9,934 cases compared with 9,859 previously.

He also said 144,726 summonses were issued nationwide, an increase of 34.8% or 37,361 summonses, compared with the total issued during Ops Selamat 24.

However, he said there was a drop in criminal cases recorded, from 747 this year compared with 858 in 2025.

He attributed this to increased patrols and community policing efforts.
