Rempits : Understanding them

No need to understand them anymore. Got this from NST online.

Mat Rempit on crime spree
11 Dec 2006
Adie Suri Zulkefli

BUKIT MERTAJAM: Mat Rempit are no longer just a menace on the road. In Penang, they have become violent criminals, robbing and assaulting their victims. Several groups of these illegal racers went on a crime spree in four separate incidents early yesterday.

Later in the afternoon, some of them even rammed a police road block.

In the first incident during the early hours of the morning, a group of between 20 and 30 motorcyclists blocked a Perodua Kancil near the Penang Bridge and smashed the car’s windscreen.

They then used a fire extinguisher to temporarily blind four men in the car before robbing them of their cash and belongings worth about RM500.

The Mat Rempit were believed to have trailed the car from Butterworth before forcing it to stop at the end of the bridge, near Prai here.

In the second incident in Kampung Jawa, Prai, another group of Mat Rempit robbed a Proton Gen.2 owner after trailing him right to his house.

The driver, in his 30s, who realised he was being trailed, thought that he would be spared after speeding to his home but the gang persisted and followed him.

They assaulted him before relieving his cash and belongings worth about RM250.

In two other incidents in Bukit Tengah and Bukit Minyak, two groups of Mat Rempit robbed drivers of two different cars by tricking them into stopping by planting their crash helmets on the road.

Each driver stopped to remove the helmets, only to be assaulted by the attackers who were hiding behind some bushes.

Seberang Perai Tengah police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Anil Shah Abdullah has pledged an all-out war against Mat Rempit.

"We are mobilising all our available resources to track them and put a stop to this madness," he said.

He also said police had identified two men in their 20s in connection with the cases and would release their photos to the public if they failed to report to the police.

The Mat Rempit menace, however, continued when about 4pm, a group of about 50 Mat Rempit, believed to be from Tasek Gelugor, almost clashed with the police at a roadblock near the Bukit Tengah roundabout. Some of them rammed into the roadblock but luckily none of the policemen was injured.

ROBBED BY MAT REMPIT! DAMN IT!

Date : 10th Dec 2006

At approx 4.00, we started our journey to Pacific Mall, Perai to meet up with 2 friends who were supposed to pick us up and head to Cameron Highland.

Towards the last 200m of Penang bridge, we saw a grey colour Satria in front of us turned into the fast lane. We then realized there was a helmet lying on the floor in the middle of the slow lane. We couldn’t avoid the helmet and ran over it.
The helmet got stuck beneath the front part of the car.

It was around 4.30 am then. We had to continue driving as we couldn’t stop on Penang Bridge. As soon as we exit from Penang Bridge, we decided to stop by the roadside because the friction and noise caused by the helmet was too great. As we slowed down, one motorcycle with 2 Malay guys approached us. We stopped the car and my dad went down to check on the helmet which got stuck under the car.

Out of a sudden, more than 20 over Malay guys, all on motorcycles approached our car out of nowhere with very angry faces. They surrounded the front and side perimeter of our car.

We thought they were after the helmet that we ran through and we apologized to them. They shouted at us to get out of the car. Panicked, we locked the car. One of the guys started hitting the driver seat windscreen with his helmet and smashed the windscreen. They then unlocked the car. One guy grabbed my handbag which I’ve placed near to the gearbox. The other guys opened the right door behind the driver seat and grabbed my sister’s bag pack. At that very same moment, they threw a whole lot of an unidentified powder (which we later find out that it might be sulfur) which caused us to lose our vision and suffocate. Another guy opened the back door on the left and start grabbing my friend’s waist pouch but to no avail. They gave up and sped away.

Later after the incident, my dad told us that as soon as he got out of the car, he saw 2 guys approaching and shouted to him about the helmet. When he is facing the guys, they shouted that they want bag. He is scared for the safety of the girls; therefore, he held both his hands up to indicate ‘slow down and I’ll give you’. That was when they started to surround him until he has no space to move and snatched off his wallet from his back pocket. My dad then made a turn to have a look at the girls and at that instance; he was attacked with the powder which caused him to lose his vision and breath.

We immediately called the police after the gang sped away. We also called our friends who were nearby. Before the police arrived, a few of the motorbikes actually turned back and waited under some trees after the exit of the Penang Bridge, waiting for their next victim. One of them came quite near to us and looked at us as if telling us “Poor fellas, what can you do to us!”

It all happened in less than 2 minutes. In this incident, we lost approximately RM 3500 including cash, hand phones, a digital camera, a smashed windscreen, and a damaged interior of the car.

Worse, all four of us were traumatized by the incident. We could have lost our lives.

While we were lodging police report at Balai Polis Perai, another girl came to lodge a police report at the same police station. She too was followed and robbed by a group of 20 over Malay guys on motorcycles, whom the police suspected were committed by the same gang.

The policemen who have came to us and whom we met at the police station seems to be aware of the so-called Mat Rempits and what they have been doing, and they pitied us with what happened. One of them even commented that “we were lucky that they did not sprayed chilly powder instead”.( this is what they can do-empathy)

We also need to highlight that we arrived at the police station at approximately 5.30am. The entire report process took us around 6 hours which was also ridiculous.( where is the Barisan rep, where is the MCA rep?, where is the LAW? )

As victims of this incident, and as members of the public, we need to know what actions the authorities have taken since they were aware of similar incidents which have been taking place for quite some time. Also, what are the actions that they will take to prevent another unlucky victim to go through the entire traumatic experience which will haunt us for our lifetime?

The incident was reported on Star Newspaper dated 11th Dec 2006, on page N26. Nonetheless, the content of the report was inaccurate. The report itself sounded like “just another robbery”.

latest at the Star

100 Mat Rempit forced to push bikes for 8km

By SIRA HABIBU

[email protected]

ALOR STAR: It was a “pleasing sight” as more than 100 Mat Rempit were forced to parade on the street on foot, pushing their motorcycles for about two hours to the police station.

Kota Setar traffic enforcement officer Asst Supt Alhamdu Sehat said that it was the first time the Mat Rempit were forced to push their motorcycles for 8km to the police station.

“We found them in action around the Aquatic centre in Gunung Keriang at 9pm. We rounded them up, took their keys, and made them push their machines all the way to the police station.


METHOD OF DETERRENCE: Some of the Mat Rempit pushing the motorcycles towards the Kota Setar district traffic police headquarters in Alor Star on Friday.
“We hope this parading method will discourage them from engaging in the Mat Rempit activities (like illegal racing and committing crimes),” he said.

“Usually they would be transported in police trucks. But in view of the growing menace, we felt that we had to take a more drastic action,” he said.

At press time, the police were still taking down the particulars of the Mat Rempit, who also underwent urine tests.

“We will also screen if their vehicles were stolen items,” he said.

 

[teamfuze]

All that is needed to understand them is they are punks, and if I had a huge trailer I'd run them all down, hit reverse and run over them yet again! LOL.

 

[arturo]

woooohoooo!good news finally. but then more needs to be done. last nite i was driving home after bowling at bout 2am...lots of police all over the place. in a 20 minute drive saw 1 roadblock, 2 police partrol car and 1 motorbike patrol unit. made me feel safe loh and the raods were soooooo peaceful that driving then was pleasing. even the roads that were normally full of them racing up n down were empty.

i guess its becos the news of 2 person driving that kelisa being beaten up by rempits made them beef up patrols...anybody still have that article? happened in melaka in front of century mahkota melaka hotel about 2-3 weeks ago if i not mistaken...scary stuff.

 

[na_power]

haiyah rempit lepaking at hartamas, destroy the high-class atmosphere there lah.. damn rempit with the stupid image and barbarian style of riding...

 

[JacEK]

[es2611]

haha.long time they all lepaking in hartamas..everywhere la.
no peace also..ramming up their motorcycles..f##king annoying!

 

[arturo]

arturo,
malaysian authorities are still farked up because they only act after something has happened. Then, this act will only last for a while. So it'll eventually go back to step 1.


HAHAHHAA Please wake up from yer sleep, Mr Alhamdu Sehat. They won't stop till some dead serious action is taken against them, like confiscating their bike for 10 years. Or putting them on death sentence. Still, death sentence for a few of them would send a serious messages to the rempits. Now, it's because the stupid police is indirectly protecting the rempits, that's why they're brave.

haiya...even if they do round those rempits up...they oni will stay in lockup for at most 1 month la...then they will be released n go back to old ways....anybody know whats the law regarding this? all oso grey grey. our law got no transparency la.

[Joeker]

Err-hmm, I'm a Mat Rempit too. Been a Mat Rempit since my Secondary days back in 1990.

Speaking from a point of view of a Mat Rempit, I can say Mat Rempit attitude exist in Motorcylist AND Motorist.

WHile riding on my "Rempit" Ride, I notice alot of "Mat Rempit" attitude drivers behind steering wheel. Zig-zagging, tail gate, cut queue.

Then alot of these 4 wheeled Mat Rempits with loud Exhaust full throttling in housing areas and mamak stalls to display their ego bloated stupidity.

When accident, the 4 wheel mat rempit not only kill themselves but other people inside the car and also innocent by-standers. (can read inside newspaper frequently, "4 friends Killed after car lost control and bang tress", "5 people killed when over-speeding car jumped divider and rammed opposite lane car", etc

Conclusion, 2 wheel Mat Rempit = 4 wheel Ah Beng.

The bad side of each is same only name is different

 

[satria_95]

joeker,
Apparently, 4 wheel rempits are called Mat Revits. hahahaha

 

[][zoohalee][vtec][]

I believe this is one of the results of the govt supporting the muslims too much. Rempit cases have been going on for years. Authorities say this and that but yet, nothing much is done. The babi police would rather stop cars by the road side and take bribe, then to nab those babi rempits who drive in the middle of a 3 lane highway. Ah well, I guess pigs of a fur flock together.

satria_95,

what do u mean by that huh??....why religion in matters???

i dont understand with most of the chinese here in ZTH blamming the malays to be rempits

where as the chinese are the one who sell them this motocycle and aftermarket parts to make their bikes go faster....why are they not blame?? why never go to say "AH SOON motocyle and tiu them kau kau"....yeah the malay race....but who gets the money?

some of the people here busy looking at other people skins rather than their own.

its a problem of all...iam ashame of what they are doing and its affected my race....but dun u even take religion and relate it to this matter...thank u..

 

[][zoohalee][vtec][]

and some ppl here also said that police aint doing their work.....if u read newspaper mostly everyday theres been an arrested and raid for these rempit....like today for example theres an raid made to the rempits in KOSMO newspaper....

do u think u can do better?? do u think by using a 4x4 car and ramming them the rempits will stop racing and stop their activities? if its only fantasy then ok la...but reality i dun think so...haha

HAIH....nvm la...letih edi debate about this matter

 

[Joeker]

Satria_95,

Pls stop posting religious, racial and political incline contents.

Your co-op is highly appcreiated.

This is very uncalled for remark.

I think Satria_95 owes all our Muslim and Malay forumers an apology.

And Satria_95, I think for your own sake and well being, you had better keep your non-car related personal opinions to yourself.
