POLICY & DONOR FORUM 2014

Michelle Yeoh, Global Road Safety Ambassador, was the special guest at the Decade of Action Policy & Donor Forum 2014.  We had a chat during the Welcome Reception on Monday evening and she commended Singapore for its road safety standards.

The forum was held yesterday at the RACV City Club in Melbourne.  The Chair of the Session, Mr Colin Jordan (Managing Director & CEO of RACV) is seen here thanking Michelle for her moving speech to lobby support for Road Safety as UN's post-2015 main priority.

Dr Zhou Wei was among the speakers to deliver perspectives on Road Safety in the Asia Pacific region. 

 HRH Prince Michael of Kent GCVO (cousin of HM The Queen) praised the State of Victoria, Australia for its road safety achievements before presenting his prestigious 'Decade of Action' Award.

The participants gathered once again this morning for an interactive workshop on Fatality Free Roads.  Future road designs, automotive technologies and the possible impacts were among the subjects that were discussed.

There were several obvious takeaways from this Forum.  But, most importantly, I had the opportunity to see some old friends, made new contacts and shared a light moment with fellow participant from Singapore - Mr Bernard Tay, President of AAS.
