How To Overcome This Problem?

Tackle "mat rempit" problem: IGP
2010/09/26



 KUALA TERENGGANU: Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar has issued an order for the police to give serious attention to tackling the problem of "mat rempit" (illegal motorcycle racers).
"I have directed all police contingents to give serious attention to tackling the matter. Now, policemen are confronted with violence by a group of people who do not respect the law," he told reporters at an Aidilfitri celebration at the Terengganu police headquarters, here today.


He said the aggressiveness of some of these "mat rempit" was a cause for concern.

They did not only disobey regulations but were seen to be getting bolder in violating the law, he added.
Earlier, Ismail visited two injured policemen at the Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital here. He was accompanied by Terengganu police chief Datuk Mohd Shukri Dahlan.


Constable Arizan Mohamad, 24, of Sarawak suffered fracture of his left collarbone and his left leg and a head wound which required 10 stitches after a motorcyclist and his pillion rider crashed into him on Sept 15 as they tried to evade the roadblock at Jalan Masjid Zainal Abidin here.


Constable Mohd Hishamudin Shafiee, 23, was injured in the left leg while participating in a "gotong-royong" (self-help) project at the Cabang Tiga police station here on Sept 17.

Youth club to help curb mat rempit


KUALA TERENGGANU: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is scheduled to launch the Terengganu Youth Motorcycle Club at the Gong Badak Indoor Stadium on Dec 18.
Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Said said some 32,000 youths statewide are expected to be at the stadium to witness the ceremony.
During the launch, teenagers with driving licence will be registered as members of the club established with the aim of preventing teenagers from becoming mat rempit (street racers) and participating in illegal racing.
The Mentri Besar said the Terengganu government had also lined-up various programmes for the club members next year, including travelling in convoy from district to district and motivational talks.
“The issues of mat rempit and illegal racing in Terengganu had been worrying of late and the launch of the club was one of the state’s efforts to tackle the problem,” he said. – Bernama.

PM: Sending biker gang members to jail not the answer

PUTRAJAYA: Mat Rempit or biker gang members who have become a menace to society will get a chance to reform under the Government’s Permata Negara programme, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said.

The Prime Minister said the programme, to be launched in January next year, was aimed at rehabilitating Mat Rempit youths between the ages of 18 and 25 to become useful members of society.

He said by sending these youths to jail for minor offences (illegal racing or reckless stunts on public roads) could make matters worse if they mingled with hardcore criminals in prison.

“The aim is not to penalise the offenders but to find ways to rehabilitate them so they can become useful, successful and confident members of the public.
“That is why the programme will focus on intervention, in which the Mat Rempit will join a rehabilitation camp from two weeks to six months. There they can improve their capacity by learning leadership skills, social interaction, self-empowerment and such,” Najib told reporters after chairing a Permata Negara meeting here yesterday. Present was his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, who is the Permata Negara Policy Working Committee chairman.

Najib said the Cabinet had already approved a new law to allow the courts to use the Community Service Order to send those found guilty of committing Mat Rempit-related offences for the programme.
He said the pilot programme would start with 50 offenders placed at a camp in Pantai Dalam, Kuala Lumpur.

“We will look at the success rate of the programme before expanding it,” he said, adding that the programme would not include youths caught for drug-related offences or juveniles for now.
Najib said the Permata Negara meeting also agreed to launch a Permata Seni project to make 33 children become renowned like the Vienna Boys’ Choir.
The meeting also discussed the introduction of the Permata Insan programme to encourage religious school pupils between the ages of nine and 12 years to have a deep understanding of the religion, besides becoming professionals like technocrats and scientists, he said.

Najib added that 212,143 students nationwide had taken the tests for first-stage screening for Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s Permata Pintar programme. The 4,682 shortlisted students would undergo the second stage of tests before the final 450 are selected for the First-Term School Holiday Camp in early 2011.

    Actually, concerted efford by all parties is imperative, in order to combat this issues from being rampant. In my opinion, parents should play a part in helping their children to choose the right friends. This is due to the fact that, friends play the important role in moulding one’s characters especially among the teenagers. A group of good friends can guide and lead the youth to a better future. Thus, parents should always keep an eye on who their children’s friends are. Besides that, parents should also show their affection for their children by spending more quality time with them. At this age, teenagers need others to pay attention to them and cater to their needs.

    I also agree with opinion kamal and nabila. In my opinion on the other hand, by enforcing law is one of the ways that effective in tackling this mat rempit problem. Law enforcement by the authorities such as sentenced to heavy sentence towards them will cause them fears for doing things them. Do you agreeing with my opinion???

    Awareness campaign also is one of the ways to overcome this problem. This awareness campaign can be done through programmes which involves entertainment such as Karnival Jom Heboh. Its because, mat rempit usually visit entertainment programmes such as Jom Heboh. With have awareness campaign, group of Mat Rempit likely to do not commit illegal racing activity more.

    It can be conclute, illegal racing especially 'mat rempit' is one of the main problems faced by today's youth. The effects are bad and the government has spent millions to curb this problem. Among the program that are running from gevernment, PLKN,'Program Rakan Muda', 'Jiran Muda Rukun Tetangga','Bina Insan' and many more. This can enhance good moral values in teenagers. Actually, this all program is good, it just that lack of participation from teenagers. So,government have to do something to attract them join this kind of program.

    As we know,most of teenagers, doesnt like to attend activities like sminar, because its quit boring.

Mr Syafnan, do you have any suggestion to attract teenagers to join this kind of activities??

    Owh..what you said previously, actually is the example of the program that can be done. I mean, the activities from the program should be something that can attract youth, as the way to increase the participation of them...maybe its just a misunderstanding..hihi
    Ok, lets continue..I think, our country need to upgrade the sport facilities and increase local sport activities, start from school. This can build up their interest in sport and can avoid bad activity.

    To attract the youth actually is not very easy,but the government should use the right ways.They can use some artist or well known people as a ambassador of the campaign to attract the youth to joining the program,.In sport they can use football player to attract the youth to joining the program.

  20. kamal rezuanMarch 7, 2011 at 1:20 AM

    I dont think caning is the best method of punishment because parents must teach their children since the children still young.So, parents must take attention of their children.
