Terrible news....its so sad that cycling in Malaysia can be so risky. My condolences to his friends and family. Just another reminder that we all have to be careful whether we are on the bike or in the car.

Actually, my question is how did the accident occur? Was the driver trying to enter or exit the patrol station? On the phone perhaps? Was the late En. rafizi riding alone? Could anything have been done to prevent the accident?

The driver most probably came from MRR2. There's a flyover opposite of the Shell station. Arwah probably came from the station after a brief stop or he used the road below to avoid the flyover. Coming out of the station, people usually have to take caution for there are many maniacal drivers coming from mrr2 towards the juncton to Keramat and Melawati. Bumpers should've been erected at that road as people always neglects the danger.

look at the cctv video clip. rafizi was going straight and he stayed on the right path, and the driver was going into the left exit. the driver hit rafizi from behind. it's double line for crying out loud.

cycling has always been a sport that has another level of danger on top of it unlike most ball or indoor sports... on top of hurting yourself totally on your own... you have to deal with other road mishaps that you cannot predict...
same with those monkey's who think that they are Takumi Fujiwara at night in genting sempah... when you take elements like a well contained race track without on-comming and public traffic out of motorsports or what they term sport / enthusiastic driving... you deal with a higher level of danger...
it is the same back then, and it is still the same now or at least i think... maybe the difference now is there are just more idiots who drive faster cars than in the late 90's...
which is why it is very important in my opinion to educate that having a helmet does not make you safe... not saying you should not wear one... but wearing one and riding without a single care on the road is as good as not wearing one in the first place...
most importantly is to know the geographics of your ride routes and always be on 100% constant awareness of your surroundings... wearing ear phones with beats pumping through your ear buds are just 1 way of turning your helmet into a worthless expensive hardened piece of Styrofoam...
else.. do what like my mother does... ride in the park, don't go far far...worst case, kena dengue from mozzy bites... don't sound as bad as any other mishaps... and you get to suck on loads of coconuts..

hahahahaha... i am the master of confusing the un-confused, complicating the un-complicated and messing the tidily un-messed...
a true indication that my wife will go bonkers and stab me in my fish balls 5 years after marrying and staying with me...
Added on March 19, 2012, 4:52 pmmy motto is always... "life is too easy, let's make it hell"...
which is why i chose cycling rather than other sissy sports like hairy armpit showing volleyball...
