Accident area is a notorious ‘racetrack’ for illegal racing

According to NST, the riders were speeding along the road from the Pandamaran Sports Complex heading towards Port Klang.

 

The location is known by locals as a gathering point for illegal racers in Malaysia, also known as ‘mat rempit‘.

“They continue to gather there and perform dangerous manoeuvres even though there were operations and arrests in that area in the past,” said police chief assistant commissioner Cha.

“We urge parents and guardians to be more observant of their children and to control them so that they do not take part in illegal races which will threaten their lives as well as the lives of other road users.”
