Takde Kerja Lagi Baik Ke?
A report in the Star about the failure (of a yet another hare brained scheme) to turn Mat Rempits into 'useful' members of society:
Mat Rempits 'Untameable'
"The attempt of Putera Umno to “tame” the 8,000 or so Mat and Minah Rempit was marred over the weekend when some of them misbehaved and purportedly indulged in vice, fights and brought shame to a mosque.
Harian Metro reported that some Minah Rempit wore revealing clothes in the mosque compound and at the Muslim graveyard when they came to clean up the area.
They were participating in the Putera Motor Merdeka Expedition Kuala-Lumpur-Teluk Batik 2006.
Some of the Mat and Minah Rempit in the group also jumped into the Teluk Muroh’s masjid’s kolah (water storage pond) that was meant for ablution for worshippers before prayers.
Even though the locals admonished the group for their improper behaviour, this was ignored. The mosque committee then lodged a complaint with the Manjung District Religious Office (PAIDM).
PAIDM enforcement officer Mohd Zainuddin Mohamed Zaini confirmed with Harian Metro that his office had received the complaint.
In addition, he said, PAIDM also received numerous other complaints about this group of 8,000 or so Mat and Minah Rempit who were in Teluk Batik on Sept 9 and Sept 10."
Okay, fine enough. But what did the organizers think about it?
"The newspaper also contacted Putera Umno head Datuk Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim on the incident. He said he had not received any report of wrongdoing and believed it did not happen."
Read that again: "believed it did not happen". So he thinks the locals are lying? That the locals are making up a story and reporting it to PAIDM? Shame on him. This is a good example of the very same denial syndrome aparrently suffered by most of our leaders. To them, their ideas and plans are always foolproof. Any evidence to the contrary is dismissed, the program glossed up and proclaimed a success in the end. Maybe Putera Umno should just be frank and give us the truth: that this entire exercise is to increase Umno membership and popularity.
Asking Mat Rempits to do community service...what a joke. If you ask me, the only way to treat folks like them is to throw them in jail (penjara tidak kurang 2 tahun) and bury their motorcycles six feet under.
