A swarm of mat rempits riding against traffic

In the video, a car can be seen turning on its hazard lights as it makes its way through a swarm of Malaysians on motorcycles riding against traffic on the highway.

Not only could this potentially lead to unnecessary accidents, but it also caused traffic issues, as the riders took up 2 lanes and left only 1 lane for cars.

The video has gained significant attention online, with netizens expressing their outrage in the comments about how dangerous the motorcyclists’ actions are for both themselves and others.

“They’re worthless”

One user expressed concerns, describing these riders as having no purpose in life, being lazy about work and study, and engaging in mat rempit culture simply for the thrill.

“In reality, society views people like this as worthless. Even Rohingya who collect second-hand goods are considered better than these mat rempits,” the user said.

“Our road laws are treated like a joke. Even if you arrest them repeatedly, there will always be more who engage in illegal group racing and aren’t deterred.”
