Of late more and more highlights of the misadventures of the Mat Rempits have popped up on our TV and Newspapers, even in the internet, these "street warriors" seem to be endorsed on what they are doing.Stopping these people is hard. The motorbikes that they ride gives the riders an efficient tool of trade. These bikes can maneuver around other road vehicles just as well as a person can by walking, thus getting away from roadblocks is only too easy to do.
Yes, the police catches some unliscensed motobikers in their "operasi" but the truth is the really hardcore Mat Rempits always get away by making a u-turn and scooting away via going against traffic. Always they succeed. Those who are caught are small "ikan bilis". Our men in blue can't be blamed, they sometimes try to chase these fleeing menaces at a risk to their own lives but on foot, they stand little chances to catch these bikes.
Mat Rempits Standard method of Escape
1. Turn around 180 degrees and twist trottle full
2. Climb up road curbs and road shoulders (off course in the opposite or perpendicular direction)
3. Speed through the road block itself (though this method is only 50% successful)
Our men in blue can't do much physically to stop these menaces, least the be charged with Police brutality. If they try to jump on these menaces, they can suffer injuries and even death. Our Police men/women need help to do their job of stopping these Mat Rempits.
Maybe it is time our Politicians stop trying to "cure" these Mat Rempits via talks and pampering and approve laws that allow "controlled force" to be used against these people. Allow the use of "street spikes" along potential exit paths of these bikes. Allow also our police to use "electronic suppressors" like the ones the US Police use (unlike stunt guns, which immobilize people via electric shocks, electronic suppressors knock out the bikes electronic & electrical systems, forcing the engine to fail and stop)
Implement rules of increased punishment on these people, the more offenses you commit the longer the duration of confinement (jail) you will get.
It is time this made in Malaysia menace is stopped

Young Generation Needs To Be Taught The Country's History
KUALA LUMPUR, April 15 (Bernama) -- Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today the young generations, especially the independence generations, should be taught the country's history to ensure that they do not repeat past mistakes.
"I'm pleading for the teaching of history," he said, adding that an American philosopher, George Santayana, once said: "Those who forget the lessons of history will be condemned to repeat their mistakes over and over again" or words to that effect.
"How do we know we are not repeating our mistakes now if we do not know of our mistakes in the past. We need to know. We need to know how we came to be colonised. We need to know how we barely managed to escape from being a communist state.
"We need to know how our rulers were forced to surrender their states to the British. We need to know how the British were forced to rescind the MacMichael treaties," he said in his blog www.chedet.cc on the topic of "The Generation Gap" today.
He said that with most of Malaysia's 27 million population being born after 1957-1963, it meant that "they had not known anything but being free, being independent, being ruled by their fellow countrymen."
Stating that he was not trying to say that those who lived under colonial rule are more appreciative of independence, he said: "What we should all be concerned with is that we appreciate our independence and our freedom more, whatever may be our political leanings."
"But I think we should know where we came from. Otherwise we would not know which way we should go. We may think we are going forward when in fact we are going backward, back to where we started. We would not be making progress," he said.
