Rempits in Cars, too!

Canadian consultant attacked by Mat Rempit

Manjit Sokhal from Montreal, a Canadian consultant on a job assignment here was attacked by a group of Mat Rempit attacked him along Jalan Rasah on Saturday night.

Manjit Sokhal was driving his four-wheel drive at about 11pm with three friends from India when a car suddenly pulled up in front.

Some 40 Mat Rempit on motorcycles then surrounded his vehicle.

“When I wound down my window to inquire, one of them punched me. He also hit my face with a helmet,” said Manjit Singh.

Manjit Singh said the Mat Rempit then went on to damage his vehicle’s rear lights, wipers and number plates.

Manjit Singh said the rempits warned him to be careful as he was a foreigner.

What prompted the rempit attack could be due to his slow speed of 40kph.

If you drive fast, you are in trouble with the law enforcers; if you drive slow, you will be in trouble with the lawless enforcers.

So, in Malaysia, we feared the law enforcers but we feared more of the lawless enforcers who are UMNOputera members. they are a protected species by the corridors of power.

Yesterday I was driving. At a junction I turn left, amid slowly. Suddenly a car surged in front of me and forced me to brake abruptly. I guess this driver was upset that I had turn onto the road in front of him and could have obstructed his smooth journey. But he was some 40-50ft away from the junction and it is definitely reasonable to get out of the junction. The problem could be the fact that I drove very slow after leaving the junction.

That driver didn't just do it once, he purposely brake in a sudden for a number of times to provoke me to a fight. I didn't want any trouble. I just kept my cool. I tried drive much slower behind him so that a few cars would overtake me. You know what? He slowed down to let those cars to pass him and make sure I am right behind him and then he suddenly brakes to cause me to swerve. He kept doing it until we reach a V-junction. I drove till the tip of the junction with his car about 10ft in front of my car, then I swerve to the left road so that I don't have to drive behind him and that it would be difficult for him to reverse his car to tail me and harass me.

This is not the first time I had this problem... there are so many instances.

So we don't only have rempits in bikes; we also have rempits in cars and often, big and luxurious cars.

Has Malaysia become so uncivilized and unsafe? In Kuala Lumpur, it surely is. You don't have to cause problem to be involved with one. You just need to drive slowly, and you'll be in trouble.

This is what NST reported today at page 2, Prime News:

Abdullah: BN is success story of all Malaysians.

It's true!

If you ever meet this type of Fucker Rempits (Car 0r Motorcycle) at the winding & hilly roads, better force them off into the ravines.

Doc,
someday we will see all this Bolehland warlord fight with each other. Rempit vs RELA vs PDRM vs ACA vs municipal councils vs state government vs ministry. It can be mix-matching game.

Wait until the oil crisis set the hell loose.

Moo_t,

Are you saying the Rempit will take over the government like what the Vikings did to England? aiya!!!!

Purple~Mushroom,

It's scary if you had one experience. I had a few... not just bike rempits but those who drive luxurious cars. They are looking for a fight and tried to engage you in any ways.

Helen,

It did cross my mind to ramp them hard but the law will take me to jail for life. So, I just hold back my anger and withheld my instinct to use unlawful methods to retaliate against provocation.

i blogged about the rempits recently and ppl said why am i talking about outdated stuff...

Rempit will never be outdated. You know those fuckers are not only parasite on the roads, but off their bikes too.

They will loaf at shopping malls hours on end, and sometimes they trail you. Happened to me in Summit. That was scary.

I was with a girlfiend of mine and then for some reason or another we noticed that these 5 rempit fuckers were following us. You can always tell a rempit from their dressing and the fact that they carry their helmets everywhere. At first I thought I was imgining things so I pulled out all the stops you know. Stopping to check my shoes, admiring a window display and each time we stopped they did too and that's when we started to get scared. When we walked faster so did they and there were 5 of them and 2 of us.

Luckily for us, there was this large group of people that came out from the cinema so my friend and I slipped through that group of people and we ran like crazy to a random boutique and hid there. The shop lady was surprised to see us and when we told her that we have rempits following us so she told us to stay put while she called the guards, just in case. We didn't see the rempit fuckers afterwards but that was scary. They were really, following us.

I really didnt know why they were following us. We were in school clothes. We were 15. What the fuck? What's the point of stalking people? I wish they create a law where we can open fire on any rempit fucker that crossed our paths.

Parasites of society, that's what they are. And with Putera UMNO's patronage summo...

Zewt & Constant Drama & Rumput,

I agree with Constant Drama that Rempit will never be outdated as they are now far fiercer and braver.

Even the police and JPJ had suffered much. But UMNOputera and Khairy are their protector. That's why they know they can continue with their menace.

Have you heard any of them had been indicted for causing grievous bodily harm to roadusers?

KJ must have known this all along:-

In April 1932, attempting to halt the widespread political violence, the German democratic government banned the SA and the Hitler Youth. However, for German teenagers, the lure of joining this now-forbidden youth organization resulted in a surge of new recruits. A few months later, due to behind-the-scenes political manipulations by Hitler, the ban on the SA and Hitler Youth was lifted.

Hitler and the Nazis were now close to achieving power. In the parliamentary elections held on July 31, 1932, the Nazis became the largest political party in Germany, receiving 13.7 million votes granting them 230 seats in the Reichstag. The tireless propaganda activities of the Hitler Youth had helped enormously to achieve this. All over Germany they had handed out millions of pamphlets and special editions of Nazi newspapers and conducted countless propaganda marches.

The voting power. All urban Malaysians should boycott or vote against UMNO youth candidates (or all UMNO candidates contesting both Parliament and State seats) at the coming general elections. An effective protest against UMNO patronage for these mat rempits. Should be an effective approach to show people power against this threating segment.
