Automatic gear for Driving tests

Referred to the Deputy Transport Minister of Malaysia, the driving test by replacing the manual gear with automatic gear is expected to be implemented at the year end. Other country such as Japan, Britain or even Singapore, automatic gear has been practised since 10 years ago.

From my past experience, the driving test in our country is extremely loose, paid some kopi money for 'on the road' test, you can easily obtain a driving license, not like other country, some people repeated few times of the driving test just to obtain their precious driving license.

i wonder, will the implementation of automatic gear increases the rate of accident in our country?
