JITRA, Oct 9 (Bernama) -- Fed up with the antics of the "Mat Rempit" (illegal motorcycle racers), the Internal Security Ministry is considering introducing a new legal provision which will allow the confiscation of motorcycles of those caught involved in illegal racing.
Its Deputy Minister Datuk Mohd Johari Baharom said the ministry would propose to the government for a legal provision be made to seize the motorcycles of those caught in illegal racing to address the "Mat Rempit" problem.
"We have carried out various operations against illegal motorcycle racers, but they are back on the road again after paying their summonses and getting back their motorcycles, " he told reporters after presenting Raya contributions to settlers at Felda Laka Selatan, near here last night.
Mohd Johari said the ministry would submit the proposal to the Attorney-General for scrutiny before it could be tabled in parliament.
He said those involved in illegal racing were not only endangering their own lives but also other road users and urged the police to step up operations against their activities.

Agusasrafi Sumarji was stabbed in the chest in the 2.30am incident near a petrol station in Jalan Damansara Indah, Bukit Damansara, here. Brickfields OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Dzuraidi Ibrahim said a passing patrol car was stopped by Agusasrafi’s friend after the stabbing.

However, the 21-year-old Agusasrafi, who was admitted to the intensive care unit, died at 3.45am.

Mat Rempit’s ‘viagra’; STAR, Nation; Monday October 9, 2006
MAT Rempit usually down themselves with tuak (fermented coconut or nipah sap) mixed with terrapin blood before taking part in a race.
Kosmo! said this was the secret behind their bravery in performing death defying stunts on motorcycles.
The terrapin blood is said to enhance the effects of the alcohol while the drink functions like a sort of “viagra” to overcome fear.
A Mat Rempit, who did not want to be named, told Kosmo! that the concoction gave them a “different feeling of being high”.
“Even if there is a narrow road, it will appear very wide to us,” he added.
He also told the daily that there are a few places in Pasir Mas and Jeli in Kelantan that processed the drink secretly for Mat Rempit. The brew is sold at RM5 per packet or by weight.
A police officer told Kosmo! that most Mat Rempit confessed they had drunk the special tuak and that it was a compulsory drink before racing.

Many things "fated" are actually choices. Avoidable.
Avoidable? Just postponing perhaps just like ALL these festive campaigns.
No one "dies" before his or her time. The choice and time of death is always yours. When the soul is ready to release the body, when it has accomplished what it came here to do, it moves on.
Therefore, in this case, the motorcyclist was ready.
Their daily dare devil stunts in reckless riding may reveal that they hold the Strong Belief that old age represents a degradation of the spirit and an insult to the body. The choice of a Slow Death in a hospital or an experience with an illness would be unthinkable to this group of people.
What is their choice? They would prefer to choose the experience – the drama, even the terror when that occurs - to die young like a hero and leave physical life in a blaze of perception; battling for your life at a point of challenge, “fighting” and not acquiescent.
There is always a reason. To realize that each soul is making these decisions is a beautiful, healing and freeing experience.
Obviously KL polis did not know about KJ's plan to recruit these kamikaze Mat Rempits as Umno youth members. Going to kena from KJ lah!

~are you sure they are mat rempit??are you sure they were racing? as i know,they were on their way to visit their friend..that's nothing involving racing..
people always think that young motorcyclists are mat rempit though not all. not all the accidents were due to illegal racing. sometimes, it is just the reason to die. some of the accidents occur not because of our fault or carelessness.it's others but we also get involved.that is fated. we just to accept it with an open mind..
Really effective material, thanks so much for the post.
