Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar will be hving a sit-down with Federal Territories Minister Tengku Adnan Mansor over the federal minister’s idea to set aside several KL roads for a legal race track for the capital’s rempit motorcycle gangs.
Khalid said he had set up the meeting in order to get a clearer picture of what exactly the FT Ministry had in mind.
“I think he (Adnan) has his reasons for wanting to implement the plan … I’ll hear him out,” the nation’s top cop told mStar today.
“The rempit problem is almost a neverending one; many enforcement agencies have taken steps to curb it. But youths are still engaged in rempit culture, racing illegally at night. So whatever the case may be, I will meet with the minister first.”
Federal Territories Minister Tengku Adnan Mansor said on Monday that downtown KL might soon have a dedicated circuit where the capital’s motorcyclists can race in peace.
The circuit would consist of regular roads within the city that will be closed off to all other vehicular traffic for a predetermined time period, similar to what has been implemented for KL’s Car Free Sundays.
