Cracking down on use of illegally modified bicycles, or “basikal lajak”, Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) conducted an operation. As a result, 25 basikal lajak were seized, while 24 summons were issued for various offences.
The operation was entered around hotspots for such activity, including Desa Aman, Taman Rimba Bukit Kerinchi, Jalan Pantai Murni 7, Jalan Pantai Permai 13, the area around PPR Kerinchi, and Jalan Pantai Sentral 2. A team of eight officers, comprising one officer-in-charge and seven personnel, conducted the exercise as part of JSPT Kuala Lumpur’s ongoing efforts to curb basikal lajak activity, which authorities say poses serious safety risks to both riders and other road users.
Police found riders involved ranged in age from 9 to 15, with the majority aged 14 — highlighting the extent to which children and teenagers are engaging in the high-risk activity. Action was taken in response to public complaints about basikal lajak activity, which typically occurs in the evening and at night in residential neighbourhoods and on public roads.
JSPT officers also took the opportunity to counsel the young riders involved, explaining the dangers of the activity and the importance of complying with traffic laws and road regulations. JSPT called on parents and guardians to play a more active role in monitoring their children’s activities and movements, and to ensure their bicycles are not modified in ways that could endanger the young riders themselves or other road users.
Periodic monitoring and enforcement operations at locations identified as hotspots for basikal lajak activity will continue, with JSPT warning firm action would be taken against anyone found violating the law in order to safeguard public safety and wellbeing.
it’s the typical b40 culture of a very specific race (this is statistics, not racism). where they think behaving like chimpanzees equals cool and points. But to the rest of the world, they are simply society’s trash
Your B40 ppl also behave like chimps especially when drunk or getting high. This is not racism but reality.
You gotta be specific which race of Malaysian as we all know one race always mess up the whole industry and also the laziest of all. Please be specific.
Sekarang shot sendiri, lepas tu rempit nkve
“anak saya baik”
The real targets should be the recalcitrant parents.
The Johor Basikal lajak multiple deaths will recur.It only make innocent motorists pay ,say Rm100 to 200K to hire lawyers like Hisyam Teh to fight the charges.
Make the parents pay RM10K fine plus one stroke of the rotan to wake them up.The bicycles r not worth anything.
Education or pep talk doesnt work anymore.
Appropriate fines and mandatory jail terms ,please.
I would generally agree but these days parents are also working hard while they do their part to say don’t involve in these things but kids are beings kids they go meet others in their friend circle and get influenced. The laws must be changed juveniles must go to juvenile prison. No sympathies for them.
this is good! to keep the children who play out there safe!
We have mat rempit. So, for these young offenders, shall we call them mat lajak? Ah Chong lajak? Mutu lajak? Sarbjit lajak? Calling them names won’t solve anything. Perhaps shaming the parents , is better than shaming these lajaks..
Call them all Terlajak
This is definitely below B40, probably “ Trash “ category.
Mak bapak setan anak2 tercilaka…nanti nak salahkan pemandu kereta lagi2 bawak terus race card
1 of the 25 is police’s son, so they cannot summon
All starts with parents, dont tell me parents see all those modifications and have no idea what theyre doing? How much is the summon rm50? Just crush those bicycles and mat rempit motorcycle trash its not like its even worth anything. The only people who think this is cool is someone who earns minimum wage.
I don’t understand why this bicycle got so popular. Looks like very difficult to cycle. Maybe the thrill is in going downhill
Dumbs don’t care for common sense, looking cool while actually being a moron is cool in their books.
Congratulation to officer incharge. You are doing a good job. Continue monitor the serrounding are.
I salute these innovative and skillful young people; the authorities should put in place a venue and rules for them to display their innovation and skill, and perhaps guide them to innovate in other fields
Someone somewhere is making money from these modifications. Sort this thing at source . No parts, no technician, no basikal lajak, no mat lajak
another ops hangat tahi ayam perhaps…to show ppl that you are finally doing what you are supposed to do instead of sitting in air cond office all day long?!
fine the parents. If you are unable to educate your child, dont give birth as you’re only contributing to society’s trash. These kids will just grow up to be mat rempits (if they suvive their childhood)
these bunch gave birth a lot because they know they can use their mass but dumb population to rule over the elite minorities.
Something aku takmarah cuma cara jer takbetul. Melayu ni mmg berani, kompetitif, kreatif, degil… cuma tu la… tempat nak melepas semangat tu takde. Benda ni lagi mulia dari dadah atau bawak anak dara org. Mencuri… pecah amanah…budak2 ni lagi mulia dari org tua yg digelar pemimpin masyarakat tapi jadi pengkhianat bangsa. Aku bukan nak muliakan diorg. Tapi give them a place give them a chance. Insya Allah… kita dapat asah bakat jadi pelumba2 “halal” negara.
Make these kids clean up the streets, public toilets, take video and send them to their respective social media apps, shcools and on youtube…
