An estimated 50,000 motoring enthusiasts from all over the country will be enlivening the inaugural RXZ Fighter event at Serambi Teruntum, Kuantan, Pahang for two days, starting Friday, 1st March 2024. The event will run from 7am to 5pm on Saturday, 2nd March 2024.

Chairman of the Pahang state’s Communications and Multimedia, Youth, Sports and Non-Governmental Bodies Committee, Fadzli Mohamad Kamal said, the RXZ Fighter event is expected to achieve that objective.

He said that RXZ Fighter was organized by the Pahang Government in collaboration with Bera Parliament Community Sports and Recreation Clubs and will provide various programs throughout the two days. “Among the fillers are morning prayers like Fridays with motoring enthusiasts, motoring exhibitions and sales.”

The morning prayer event is organized together with Sultan Ahmad State Mosque 1 and will take place on Saturday, 2nd March, 2024.

“The program also has the cooperation of the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) and the Road Transport Department (JPJ) to monitor traffic conditions, including giving briefings on motoring safety.

“We hope motoring enthusiasts, especially those who ride the Yamaha RX-Z to Kuantan, obey law in order to maintain the safety of not only themselves, but also other users,” he said.

The organizers of the event also confirmed that they will not hold and discourage competitions and behaviors such as revving motorcycle engines at gas stations, running red traffic lights, reckless riding, performing wheelies, closing the road by “marshals” and the participants.

According to a post on the RXZ Fighter – Official Facebook account, the event is offering 2 Yamaha RX-Zs as the lucky draw’s main prize. Both of these motorcycles will also be decorated with airbrushed patterns.

Dianggarkan seramai 50,000 peminat permotoran dari seluruh negara akan memeriahkan program RXZ Fighter yang julung kalinya akan diadakan di Serambi Teruntum, Kuantan, Pahang selama dua hari, bermula Jumaat, 1 Mac 2024. Acara akan berlangsung dari 7 pagi hingga 5 petang pada hari Sabtu, 2 Mac 2024.

Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Komunikasi dan Multimedia, Belia, Sukan dan Badan-badan Bukan Kerajaan negeri, Fadzli Mohamad Kamal berkata, acara RXZ Fighter itu diharap mencapai objektif itu.

Katanya, RXZ Fighter dianjurkan Kerajaan Pahang dengan kerjasama Kelab-Kelab Sukan dan Rekreasi Komuniti Parlimen Bera serta menyediakan pelbagai program sepanjang dua hari itu. “Antara pengisian ialah solat Subuh macam Jumaat bersama peminat permotoran, pameran permotoran dan jualan.”

Acara solat Subuh tersebut dianjurkan bersama dengan Masjid Negeri Sultan Ahmad 1 dan akan berlangsung pada Sabtu, 2 Mac 2024.

“Program juga mendapat kerjasama Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) dan Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) bagi memantau keadaan lalu lintas, termasuk memberikan taklimat berkaitan keselamatan permotoran.

“Kami harap peminat permotoran, terutama yang menunggang RXZ ke Kuantan, mematuhi peraturan jalan raya demi menjaga keselamatan bukan sahaja diri sendiri, malah pengguna lain,” katanya.

Menurut ciapan di akaun Facebook RXZ Fighter – Official, acara itu turut menawarkan hadiah utama cabutan bertuah menarik, iaitu 2 buah Yamaha RX-Z. Kedua-dua motosikal ini turut akan dihiasi dengan corak airbrush.

Pihak pengajur acara turut menegaskan bahawa mereka tidak akan mengadakan serta menggalakkan pertandingan dan kelakuan seperti “rem” enjin motosikal di stesen minyak, melanggar lampu isyarat, menunggang dengan melulu, membuat lagak ngeri wheelie (mengangkat roda depan motosikal), menutup jalan raya oleh “marshal” dan para peserta.
