Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Mansor says illegal racing is the only form of entertainment that 'mat rempits' can afford. – The Malaysian Insider file pic, February 22, 2016.
The government may allow illegal racers or "mat rempits" to race in Kuala Lumpur at night by closing city roads to traffic, Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Mansor said.
Calling them "mat motor" (motorcycle enthusiasts) instead, Tengku Adnan said the move would allow them to have entertainment.
"I don't want to call them mat rempit but mat motor, (and) I have one programme that I have discussed with my friends in Umno and Barisan Nasional.
"Probably in one week, one or two days we will give like a car-free day but only for 'mat motor' to race at night.
"We will control the situation because we realise that this is entertainment for them, they have no other means to entertain themselves due to high costs," he told reporters after officiating a new bridge connecting Kampung Batu Muda and Taman Metropolitan Batu in Kuala Lumpur today.
