 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.

When will we ever learn to confront the pressing issues instead of waiting to disappear or vanish itself.

A decade ago, there was no such thing as "Mat Rempit" - there were illegal motorcyclist, though - those who don't possess a valid license. However, the past few years saw the rise of rowdy motorcyclist who not only do dangerous stunts on the road, but also harass or even injure innocent people.

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.

When issues are small, they never cared to look into it. Only respond when its serious and ended up been kicked in the ass! Worst thing is, some big number of them are the sons or relatives of high level police officers! smilies/tongue.gif

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.

One needs the soft approach here. Some of them have barely reached puberty but they seems to find strength through numbers, and they attack like animals.

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

mmm just wondering...whats the incentive for the law to be lenient to these scoundrels? what is the political angle?

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...

Tak boleh charge for murder, simply because Mat Rempits are not Hindraf supporters. Plus, they are much needed during GE to be Beruk Nasional flag bearers. They are supported by Arm-No youth leaders. Breed evil and you get the devil! If the police cannot wipe out Rempits, what else are they good for..... besides using tear-gas and chemical-water canons on peaceful assemblers? smilies/tongue.gif smilies/cry.gif

.....why don't the police charge them for attempted murder??? Our country have gone out of law and order. Nobody seem to respect the gomen and police now. We need to overhaul the whole gomen and police force. We cannot live in a country where there are no more dignity for the gomen.

This is not right..Why did Musa Hassan/Dollah forgot to authorize the police force the use of tear gas/baton to diperse the illegal motorcycle racer. Wait a minute , KJ is the head of Mat rempit right ........Now I know lah...

Instead of just impounding the bikes, how bout confiscating it and then destroying it as a form of punishment. Only a severe form of punishment would be a sufficient deterrent to these KJ supported gangsters from being involved in illegal and lie threatening activities.

Since the police is known to be corrupted, people are less fearful of them these days. To many people anything also can be settled with money, and they can become ruthless, lawless and daring.

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.

KJ needs these Mat Rempits, thus the police do not know how to deal with them.
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

These Mat Rempits problems are not new. Yes, police have arrested them occasionally but their efforts are still not enough. They should put in more effort to tackle this problem rather than focussing on arresting those innocent rally participants. I hope with this incident, the police themselves being the victim of Mat Rempits, they will take more action to alleviate this problem

i wont say all Mat Rempits are snatch-thieves but i m sure all snatch-thieves are Mat Rempits!

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 looks like law and order is breaking down when young hoodlums dare to attack the police. Or have our Police been viewed as useless and toothless by these hoodlums?

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.

Now lets see if KJ wants to keep supporting these Mat Rempits after they attacked his allies.
