Motorists in Kedah are being urged to take pictures of modified vehicles on the road, and make them viral online. This is a way to combat illegal racing and the activities of ‘samseng jalanan’ and Mat Rempits, says Kedah police chief Datuk Fisol Salleh. His officers will then do the rest.
“I want Kedah people, please take pictures if you see vehicles – whether it’s cars or motorcycles, even bicycles. If a motorcycle is modified and doesn’t follow specifications, tayar sotong (super skinny tyres for less drag), brakes removed, upgraded carburettors to merempit, take pictures and viral it,” Fisol said, reported by Bernama.
“If these vehicles are on the road, take pictures. The police will track them down to their homes,” he added. While he said ‘ambil gambar’, the state police chief likely meant videos as well.
Fisol said that the enforcement order has been issued to all district police headquarters in Kedah, especially to the traffic and related departments. He added that the cooperation of all parties, especially the community, is very important to ensure that Mat Rempit activities can be tackled, avoiding unwanted incidents with other road users.
It might sound extreme, but the cop has a good point. Most, if not all bikes used for illegal racing have tell-tale signs – no one uses the undersized tayar sotong on a workhorse or daily ride.
Last month, two young riders aged 16 and 21 died in an illegal race in Klang, and a horde of Mat Rempits were seen riding against the flow of traffic on the LDP recently to avoid a roadblock. Perhaps it’s time for PDRM to strategically deploy buses at roadblocks to ensure that the backdoor is closed, just like how they do it in Johor.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
their bikes should be confiscated and auction off. the proceeds use for helping B40 or upgrade our roads.
who’d wanna buy these garbage?
Why not track down the MPs that are going to propose to bring back GST after they have campaign in bringing down BN using GST? Please send them to prison for lying to rakyat!
mana nombor whatapp? nak hantar 100 keping gambar ni!!
I think PDRM, Local council that confiscated any vehicles/motorcycles should sent to their own yards to restore back to original and gifted to those needy people and lower income people that don’t have the means of transport. The govt should chips in some allocation for parts needed to restore the confiscated vehicles.
Yeah right. After that, they will ask you to be witness and kena masuk court during trial. Anyone done that before should know it.
You better stay at cave diam diam
What a silly idea. If we can see them in broad daylight, you can see them too.
You also know their favourite hangouts, race circuits, and friends. Some of them are in your own staff’s neighbourhoods.
Enforcement in Malaysia is a joke! How many illegally-sized number plates are there for cars, luxury or otherwise, and for motorbikes (with their plate numbers inside the rear wheel housing) are traversing our streets? At any given traffic light, you can nab these people immediately.
On plate numbers, make the compliant size a part of EVERY Puspakom inspection, including for ownership transfer and registration interchange. If you make these simple changes, you will have a compliant society faster than you can say “bribe”.
…or you could do more enforcement
Itulah…buta gaji amalan dia…

Everyday everytime everywhere can surely see at least 1 or two modified vehicles including illegal tinting, small/fancy number plates, especially modified motorcycles and bicycles at the PPRs riding around after hours.
