Kuala Lumpur - A Malaysian police patrol unit was attacked by a group of illegal motorcycle racers who lashed out after they were ordered to disperse, a news report said Monday.
A police patrol unit in the southern Johor state went to stop an illegal race early Sunday after hearing complaints from local residents.After managing to disperse most of the racers, a group of the suspects started kicking and banging on the patrol car and threatening the officers, the New Straits Times daily said.
Police sent reinforcements to quell the disturbance, district police chief Ruslan Hassan.
Authorities detained 37 males aged 14 to 30, and impounded 29 motorcycles, the report said.
'Although no one was hurt in the incident, police view the case seriously,' the paper quoted Ruslan as saying. 'We cannot tolerate such audacity.'
Illegal racing is rampant in the capital Kuala Lumpur as well as in cities in Penang and Johor states. The racers usually gather late at night on major roads and disperse when police arrive.

As expected, the police say they'll do something - yeah, road blocks that were not preventive enough - but the problem seem to get worse. How do we get them off the streets? Build a circuit for them, someone said. But these bikers aren't interested in such "cheap" venues. They prefer places with more excitement, thrill and danger where the stakes are high and where girls lose their dignity.
Yeah, something is really wrong with our education system, and perhaps with parents.

It is a British policy to groom second-rate leaders so that Third World nations will remained enslaved. He may have had the money to study in Oxford, but surely there were many other candidates.

Now for the soft approach. Send them to the North Pole, send them to space, send them anywhere but here.

More Bonggols = More petrol/gasoline consumed

i have never met a mat rempit...r they male? female? bisexual? of which predominant racial background? r they born and bred malaysians? do they terrorise in cities or kampongs?
for what unearthly reason would the 'authorities' 'support' these gangsters?
unless of course...they r also USEFUL to the 'authorities' either as voters....or to do the dirty work of the 'authorities'...ie. causing havoc and threats to 'non-supporters'
or indeed a racial angle...cops are predominantly malays...mat rempits are malays???...therefore as the hokkiens would say...kah kee lang...our own kind...
things must be really bad...if these hoodlums are now turning around and biting the hands that feed them...
its the law of the jungle...a dog will bite its master...when its livelihood is threatened...
maybe...the mat rempits r tired of the crumbs they r thrown...they want more..bigger and juicier morsels..maybe they want to become policemen!!!!
they would certainly make great ones..they have the prerequisite training...

It is time for the police who are wearing "Saya anti rasuah" to know the meaning on that attract badge they are wearing. It is better for them to say it loud and clear to any offender "saya anti rasuah" rather than just wearing the badge in which they forget the purpose of it.
Mat rempits can be that daring because they know one way or another most of the issues can be settled with money. When they do not have money to settle, they can become violent just to protect themselves perhaps.
The law enforcement officers must have pride and integrity to gain respect.

He has forgotten that what goes round comes back to haunt us.
Soon he will learn that it is his society that is going to loose in the long run.
So much for his Oxford education

i just overheard a news that 3 snatch-thieves were bailed-out!Why the judge did it,thousands of cases had happened and some caused innocent deaths dued to their gangsterism,and no sign of heavy punishments are given!Why are the judges so lenient to them?i m sadden by the judge's decision!
the only way to reduce the Mat Rempits and snatch-theives is to enforce WHIPPING to all of them once caught!

It is no secret that crime is on the increase in our country. Rapes, murders, daylight robbery, you name it, even blowing up people with C4. But where are our Police?
Motorcylists are riding without lights on our highways, even in dimly-lit areas. Not only that, underaged boys and girls, who used to ride their bikes only in kampong roads, have now taken to riding on highways and expressways, and without wearing helmets and carrying pillion riders, too, confident that there will be no Police around to book and arrest them The police just do not see such a breakdown of law and order.
I suppose they are only on duty when the rakyat carry out protests on the streets. Then we can find them there in their thousands.
