Rempit

  • A group of motorcyclists were caught on video slipstreaming in a pack.

  • They also refused to give way to other traffic.

  • Needless to say, such acts are foolish.

We received some kurang ajar (read: barbaric) responses when we wrote an article about how us motorcyclists can irritate the public and other road users. But look at these guys. They hog the entire road and refuse to give way to other traffic.

A car driver caught the footage of a large group of motorcyclists on the East Coast Highway (LPT) pulling off this stupid stunt. The riders in the group seemed to relish in riding prone in each other’s slipstream to gain higher top speeds.

The poster also said that they refused to heed his warning after he sounded his horn. The video was posted to Info Roadblock and shared by another popular gossip portal. Consequently, it has since gone viral. This is not the way to achieve 15 seconds of fame. Predictably, Malaysians are well-known for their caustic comments including a few which threatened to “run over” such groups with their vehicles.

It’s a dangerous act to carry out even without blocking the traffic. A slip by one rider or a couple of guys hitting each other will send the whole group down. Needless to say, everyone will get hurt or worse, getting hit by other traffic. Say, a truck.

Not only that, it sullies the name of all motorcyclists. Drivers of other vehicles wouldn’t give a second wink to differentiate between the good guys and the bad guys: Everyone is the same! That’s the human nature to generalize everything he sees or hears about.

So, stop it, you fools!

Sekumpulan motosikal kapcai di Singapura telah mengadakan sesi konvoi beramai-ramai di jalan raya negara itu Sabtu lalu lalu mencetuskan rasa kurang senang oleh penduduk setempat.

Difahamkan, konvoi tersebut – yang melibatkan lebih daripada 40 buah motosikal – telah dirancang oleh kumpulan ‘kapcaisinga’ yang bertanggunjawab memuat naik video di laman sosial Instagram mereka.

Walaupun isu rempit di Malaysia merupakan senario biasa, namun ia boleh dianggap perkara asing bagi penduduk di Singapura dengan majoriti rakyat negara tu meluahkan rasa tidak puas hati di laman sosial.

Bagaimanapun, aktiviti mereka telah pun disekat pihak polis sekitar jam 2 pagi di Bukit Batok. Kumpulan itu kemudiannya memuat naik kenyataan di laman sosial mereka dan menyuarakan rasa bangga kerana menerima penyertaan yang ramai.

Meskipun isu rempit bukan perkara baru di Malaysia tetapi sehingga kini senario itu masih mencetuskan rasa marah pengguna jalan raya lain dan bagi negara jiran, Singapura, bertabahlah kerana ini mungkin permulaan kepada budaya rempit yang mula bertapak.

  • A Mat Rempit died while a “spectator” was seriously injured in an illegal race.

  • The PDRM are now hunting for the other two “racers.”

  • The videos show the accident and aftermath.

A Mat Rempit killed another motorcyclist and injured another during an illegal race in Kota Bahru, Kelantan on Saturday (18th August 2018).

As shown the video, a large crowd had gathered to spectate an illegal race. Two bikes blew by followed by a third a few seconds afterwards.  The third bike then struck a pedestrian who had stepped onto the “track”.

The motorcyclist, Norazrin Azizan Abdul Aziz, 26, died while receiving emergency treatment at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM) in Kubang Kerian. The pedestrian, Mohd. Azhan Baharudin, 25, had both his legs broken and is now lying unconscious at the same hospital.

The Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) are now hunting for the other two illegal racers. Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (Jabatan Siasatan dan Penguatkuasaan Trafik) Director, Datuk Sharul Othman Mansor said that the two were complicit in causing the death of Norazrin and bodily harm to Mohd. Azhan.

He continued, “The two motorcyclists are wanted for investigation under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.”

Datuk Sharul made the announcement at a media conference codenamed as “Operasi Samseng Jalan (Operation Road Hooligans)” which he headed at Seremban last night.
