The other side of Mat Rempit

Just came back from Genting Sempah and Janda Baik ride with my newly acquired bike (Bought it off a friend). It was a good ride, always, with 3 other ride buddies.



As usual, we talked about politics during warming up, slow climb up the peak of Genting Sempah before high speed descend towards McD. Managed to clock 50 kmh.



Stopped at Janda Baik gerai for roti canai. Someone cracked a joke about roti canai, implying current political leadership in Malaysia. Roti Telur is called Roti Chek Det. Roti Kosong is called Roti Pak Lah.

Hmmmm…

Can’t help but to notice 2 fully restore kapcais (mopads) circa 1970’s I think. Nicely done and these particular mat rempits dafinately have good taste and artistic skills.




How I wish the politicians get down to the ground and start to observe these hidden talents rather than making noice in the media trying to change the name (just the name) of Mat Rempit to Mat Cemerlang. There are various “soft” issues they can address rather than too busy trying to manipulate the Mat Rempit cult to gain political mileage….



I think it is not a simple as merely branding a group of youngsters without considering the fact that this youngster were born on kapcais and have nationwide followers.

The energy, passion, obsession and adrenaline addictions can be capitalized into good causes.
