THE arrival of a Mat Rempit convoy is hard to ignore. Loud exhaust, juvenile whoops and cries, and the stupid wheelies they love to perform, often to the detriment of their health.
That being said, people have every reason to hate them. The hate, however, has been taken to the next level in a recent video which is making rounds on the internet.
In the video, a police officer could be seen crossing a heavy traffic as he attempted to kick a Mat Rempit off his bike. Netizens by the droves pointed out that this was unlawful and the debate continues.

Netizen @Blazer119011 cautioned that if the kick connects and the rider breaks his neck, would it be considered a murder case?
Another netizen said it was very dangerous, further inquiring about the propel protocol for setting up a roadblock.
One netizen advised that the police officer should have thrown a stick at the offender instead of trying to go up and personal with him, adding that he might break his leg in the attempt.
“When he gets rammed, he will start making sad stories. Does he keep his brain in his house before going to work?” wondered @superbarrio2.
Additionally, @Rogue_Shogun hinted about the usage of a roadspike to stop the rider. Watching the video prompted netizen @Keburungan to also reminisce about his time as a Mat Rempit.
According to him, the police officers would hide behind the divider beside the tree and use a cane to hit them on the back when they passed by.
“I know exactly where this is. Every weekend, same shit. The public is afraid to use that highway on the weekends because it’s a Mat Rempit hangout spot. Feels like the authorities are not really taking any strict actions for many years,” said @thansryy.
But the police officer had his supporters and fans too. According to @Sauffie84, police officers in the United States of America would have shot first, ask questions later, more so if the offender happens to be black.
Perhaps our Mat Rempits in Malaysia are having it easy compared to the offenders in America.
“If it was me, I would open a donation drive for the officer,” said @random_malaysia in support to his action. Then there was @sufian_black who rated the flying kick as being not high enough. —June 25, 2025
