By : S.M. MOHAMED IDRIS for Consumers’ Association of Penang WE congratulate Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail for proposing that the no-fault liability scheme be implemented in respect of motor vehicle accidents. Such a scheme is long overdue. We had called for it as far back as the late 1970s and again in the early 1990s. The idea was to get accident victims compensated quickly. Under the no-fault scheme, it is irrelevant who is responsible for the accident. It assumes that accidents are, by and large, accidents, not intentional. He suggested that the scheme be funded by a compulsory contribution, which would be included as part of the driving licence fee.
