I’m not sure about you, however I’m quite certain that Putera Umno Chief Abdul Azeez Rahim is in the festive mode, thus he is planning to hand out early good news and encouragement to his fellow brothers Mat Rempit, in which the Cabinet has approved stiffer penalties against those involved in illegal racing, including confiscating motorcycles and suspending license.
"Perkara ini perlu dipandang serius kerana selagi tidak ada litar, di manakah anak-anak muda itu mahu menunggang motosikal. Umpama pemain bolasepak, jika tidak ada padang, di mana mereka hendak bermain bola." [...]
"Mana tahu pada suatu hari nanti akan lahir perlumba motosikal profesional yang mengharumkan nama negara di peringkat dunia terdiri daripada bekas Mat Rempit."
What do you think? As for myself, I honestly do not hope to see this guy make it to the top.

The problem of Mat Rempits is more than 30 years old. It was only recenly when the problems caused by them have been highlighted. I was threatened by them on various occasions but managed to avert violence. They deserve stiffer penalties. Many of the have proper jobs during the day but choose to indulge in this dangerous pastime at night for reasons they know better, endangering others in the process. And when they wer caught, some of their own even stoned the police station to show their displeasure.
It’s time the ordinary citizens are protected from this menace.
Optimist?
