Two 13-year-olds died when their motorcycles collided head-on near the Elmina Business Park in Sungai Buloh, Selangor last Thursday (August 15, 2024). As reported by Bernama, the young riders were performing wheelie stunts during the incident that took place at around 11.20pm.
“As a result, the two astride Yamaha Lagenda and Yamaha Ego Solariz motorcycles died at the scene. Post-mortem was carried out at the Sungai Buloh Hospital and the case is being investigated in accordance with Section 41 (1) of the Road Transport Act 1987,” said Sungai Buloh police chief Supt Mohd Hafiz Muhammad Nor.
Mohd Hafiz advised parents or guardians to control their children, especially minors, to prevent them from getting involved in illegal night racing or perform dangerous acts which can be fatal and endanger other road users.
He added that underage motorcyclists as well as their legal guardians, including parents, can be charged under Section 39 of the Road Transport Act with driving a vehicle without a licence. If convicted, they will face a maximum RM2,000 fine, or up to six months in prison, or both.
“Parents can also be subject to action in accordance with Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001 which outlines offences involving abuse, neglect and abandonment or exposure of children to danger,” he said. If convicted, they face a maximum RM50,000 fine or 20 years in jail, or both.
Mohd Hafiz also revealed the number of fatal accidents due to racing or speeding in the Sungai Buloh area from January to August this year saw a drastic increase, with seven investigation papers opened involving 11 motorcyclists who died. “Compared to last year, only three investigation papers were opened involving three motorcyclists who died and this increase is very worrying,” he said.

Of course! You tell me which parent will condemn & bully their children, unless they do not love em.
Natural selection
At this rate their population should be extinct by now but the reverse has happened. Their itchiness is the cause for their uncontrollable breeding outnumbering their deaths. This race has proven my theory wrong
Well from the Basikal Lajak case we can surely see the parents will put the blame on others with some judges also agree that one need to have spiderman reflexes and yet no charges thus far even for being a menace ruining others.
Inkambing anak saye baek orangnya
No sympathy..Good riddance
Yay yay
anak saya baik, dia x jahat, dia tiap tiap hari ade balik rumah.
ni mesti salahan yg driver lain, highway lampu xnyala.
Until the parents are being charged and saman-ed, nothing will ever likely to change here. Semua buat tak tahu aje. Am sure the parents aren’t stupid either. If authorities start flexing, all parents will look up for their kids wandering around. Until then, one can expect things like this to happen again and again. Another article and another article. The basikal lanjak case is already good enough. Yet, parent turn a blind eye. And the authorities also partly to blame for failure to enforce the law!
It’s okay house still got some spare kids
Parents busy making new spares all the time and can’t watch their children
Parents can be charged only ah?? Not parents WILL be charged aaahh? LOL
What happened to the paki father of the 12 year old boy who brought his siblings on a joy ride?
Parents manage to find any kambing hitam this time?
How many time authority have charged the parents for similar cases?
Zero?
Hahahahhahahahahhahahah
Lucky no cina driver involve… else another unnecessary 6 years trial…
That person should have been hanged until mati for being a child murderer. Instead she became a racial hero pulak. The world has gone mad.
