Eight suspects, including a motorsports influencer, have been remanded for four days over a viral video showing traffic being stopped for an illegal race on the Second Link Expressway in Johor.
As reported by NST, the suspects, aged between 26 and 45, are being investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987. Johor police chief Datuk Ab Rahaman Arsad said all eight were arrested by detectives from the Kulai traffic investigation and enforcement division at 11.54am yesterday (August 23, 2026).
In a statement posted on August 22, Kulai district police said it picked up on the viral video that showed two motorcycles racing along the expressway northbound from the Senai interchange towards the Johor Premium Outlet interchange on Saturday.
The 33-second clip also saw several men stopping traffic to allow the illegal race to proceed, with a group setting off firecrackers to celebrate the end of the race.
There should be a law allowing Police to shoot bikes at sight. Bloody menace, parasites.
Just tangkap ..quickly bicara..no bail allowed 5 years behind bars..No appeal allowed.
Bastards are bastards.Jail is the end game for them.
That won’t do much. Confiscate and destroy their bikes, in front of them. In addition to lifetime license ban + ownership ban of any motor vehicles ever.
And ANY dealer found to have sold to these blacklisted individuals will be fined in at minimum, 5 digits. To deter the quick buck they can make by flouting the law and selling them anyway. Repeated offenders will have their businesses confiscated, and demolished in front of them.
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
You know… the incident reveals how poor Malaysian enforcement is. If the enforcers of law in Malaysia (I am looking at you, police department, local councils, local authorities) are “seen”, the majority of people will eventually comply. The fear or being caught of FOBC principle is real.
How to be seen? Enforcement. Not “operasi” enforcement. Pure enforcement.
If enforcement is consistent, not selective and not hot hot chicken shit, people will not dare to close roads for something as stupid as an illegal race.
If enforcement is consistent, not selective and not hot hot chicken shit, speedsters will slow down.
If enforcement is consistent, not selective and not hot hot chicken shit, illegal foodstalls won’t operate everywhere.
If enforcement is consistent, not selective and not hot hot chicken shit, illegal temples and suraus won’t appear overnight.
If enforcement is consistent, not selective and not hot hot chicken shit, illegal extensions at homes and flats won’t be an issue.
If enforcement is consistent, not selective and not hot hot chicken shit, motorcyclists won’t be on the federal highway.
If enforcement is consistent, not selective and not hot hot chicken shit, plate numbers would be uniform for everyone.
If enforcement is consistent, not selective and not hot hot chicken shit, dark tints will be less of an issue.
That’s it. But has Malaysia the willpower? Any bets?
“Negeri kita orang nak ambik dah”, according to the majorities.
Using just banked in STR to buy those useless fire crackers…
Are you sure Johor expressway? Listen carefully and clearly can heard east coast dialect. More like SG4 instead of SG.
Kasih langgar terus!
Previously billionaire Peter Kim wanted to Build a racing track in johore. Any update. Singapore f1 could be held there.
At Selangor Kota Damansara also has plenty of rogue motorcyclists. They tore down again the perimeters fence of NKVE highway situated below Persiaran Surian bridge bypass 2 days after the highway authority fixed the perimeters fence.
Konfem bukan bangsa J tu. Ni mesti ada yg dengki dgn JDT.

even without watching the video, i know it is type M… don’t challenge their supremacy.
