I'm referring to this piece of news from thestar. Road thugs, aka "samseng jalan", are defined as "motorcyclists who endanger the public by speeding or riding recklessly." This is a tag that police can sticks to just about anyone involves in an accident, since if you cause an accident, you must have been either speeding or riding recklessly.
I see the police is trying to divert the attention from Mat Rempit. According to the goverment and police recently, Mat Rempit, for all the havocs they did to the public, needs caring, love, understanding and not punishment or jail. Ministers alike said people need to look at the root cause, their upbringing, they are bored, no money, etc, and try to cherish more love to these menace.
And now, for ordinary road users, when you happen to involve in an accident, beware, for you can be easily prosecuted as "samseng jalan", and go straight to jail.
Where's the logic? The government is using ordinary people as a lesson to Mat Rempit.
By the way, what about those police escorts? Also those JPJ officers and police alike who race along the north-south highway like there's no tomorrow, flashing headlights as they tailgate road users, then speed away in like 180km/h? I do think these group of people are "endangering the public by speeding or riding recklessly".
i thinks, this goverment need to using ordinary people as a lesson to mat rempit to prevent the road thugs.this is very important to give some lesson to group of road thugs.
