often raced “Mat Rempit”, some are just as dangerous to ride on the road. They
usually a team and will race in the middle of the city on weekend nights. Many
motorcycles used of them do not meet standards, or have been modified by many.
Even the members of group were not having a valid license, do not pay road tax
and a stolen bike.
Today,
the park has been converted into residential circuit by them. Estimated that in
Malaysia there are about 200 000 “Mat Rempit”. “Mat Rempit” term is also used
in Singapore and Indonesia for the same purpose. They played at dusk, night or
after returning from working parents. These teens steal motorcycle keys or
provide reasons to buy goods in shops nearby or go to the night market. Parents
do not realize his son can go a long way up to Kuala Lumpur. They also played
in the midst of a crowded car in Kuala Lumpur to get people’s attention. In
Kuala Lumpur is a popular highway that has not been completed have killed
several teenagers.
Let’s
us see how they ride? They also observed riding techniques and change from time
to time. The danger, the audience applause, and they feel proud to be a
champion. The techniques such as Willi, lie down, stand up and so forth. What
is the challenge for them? A difficult road is at dangerous bends, potholes, wet,
racing against the current, without a headlight and accept the challenge of
friends, enemies and the public. They are willing do die. They would even dare
to die was seriously injured while racing. When racing, they will be closed
ayes, light motorcycles and motorcycles are closed against the current road.
They certainly were under the influence of drugs such as cocaine, ice. When
they thought of racing “snake” or enemies “aliens” who should be opposed
relentlessly. They are there to be a hero to kill the enemy. They have no
personal protection such as boots, thick trousers, knee pad, helmet or life
insurance.
If
we are see a roadblock, we will be drive or ride carefully. But, if they meet a
roadblock or police traffic they feel more enjoyable. They will turn back
against the current if there is restriction of the police. Some also crashed
into the roadblock. They also ignored to the police traffic who were armed with
pistols and wooden batons. Some of the parents and public will blamed the
police if the recourse to violence, such as kicking a fast-moving motorcycle.
There are also cases where police who threw wood on the fast-moving tires to
escapes. Efforts to provide the police traffic roadblocks and monitor the
movement of them as if lightly until there is a restriction vehement held. “Mat Rempit” cunning identify safe roads also cause
these people that allegedly acclaimed wise escape the surveillance authorities.
In fact, the police themselves have become victims of actions of them in which
a policeman was injured and killed in operations against the “Mat Rempit”. What
reward they will get? They usually consist of them ,teenagers who are still
schooling using motorcycles parents or their brothers. They were riding a
motorcycle without a valid driving license. They compete with each other
sometimes get the rewards in the form of money and girls as a bet. To increase
the speed of the motorcycle, piston, brakes, handlebars, tires and other
adjustment.
Here
are some facts that why they interested to involved? Most probably want to try.
It also influence of friends. They do not have control or attention from their
parents. Otherwise, they couldn’t have enough love. Once they lack of love,
they will spend their time and leisure together outside the house. To show
their protest, they like to get extreme satisfaction to show off. They might be
has low level of education.
Once
they involved in this problem, automatically they have done some of the crime
cases. The crime cases are might be gangsterism, piracy group, fighting each
other among the group, theft, bullying, rape, free sex and drugs and alcohol.
How
are we as a good citizen can help them? We should calling those involved in
illegal motorcycle racing activities as “Mat Rempit”. Mohamad Hussain said, to
give the tittle to them, people will feel more head and encourage them to
continue their behaviour more frequently and arrogant. The youth involved in
illegal motorcycle races to seek attention and label “Mat Rempit” given to them
will make them more fun and consider it as a license or recognition by society
of their activities.
As
with other social problems, the role of parents is crucial to the success of
any effort to address the problem. Apart from imposing stern action against
“Mat Rempit”, the same action towards their parents or used motorcycle owners a
can also help to address this problem, if not help prevent symptoms from
becoming worse. Social activist, including non-governmental organizations
(NGO’S) also have a role to achieve the objective version of the fix. If
anything, of course, this problem is rapidly deteriorating and the integration
of all parties is the key that will solve all these problems.
