UNLESS you are a mechanic, few Malaysians find the Mat Rempit culture appealing.
Besides being a terrible menace on the road, drug abuse is also common among these bikers with the devil may care attitude.
So it is interesting to observe how people continue to encourage such activities, take for example the recent RXZ Members 8.0 rally at Gong Badak, Kuala Nerus which saw the participation of over 200,000 bikers.
We need not mention that accidents are not only common in such events, but fatal too.
But it appears, this is just a small part of the problem where bike rallies like these are concerned.
Apparently littering is becoming a huge problem too as pointed out by netizen @kamaghul on X.
Photos provided by the netizen showed toilets and sinks jammed with empty mineral bottles. Even the road was not spared, looking more like a landfill than a place that connects point A to point B.

Looking at all that trash, it is safe to say that the clean up crew will have a very long day ahead.
“It’s not that they lack education, but they lack brains. Probably left their brains at home,” said netizen @halfofbelle who observed the photo.
“If you’re into motorbikes, no problem. It’s just that when motorbike fans all live together with monkey-like people who only know how to eat and have no concept of cleanliness. Monkeys, even in large groups, make people uncomfortable and unsafe,” pointed out @Disasterlevel.
@muhdrajaei even wondered why people actually attend such events in the first place.
“I read a post saying the RXZ program contributes to petrol income, but it seems like it just contributes to a lot of trash instead. The government tells us to save petrol, not to use up the petrol,” added @IceB97.
But a netizen believes this was no different from the condition during the Raya celebration.
Several others think such biking convoys are populated by members of the B40 income group and that they were no different from the Rohingya migrants.
Whether it’s a festival, concert or a massive bike rally, one rule should never go out of fashion: leave with your memories, not your rubbish.
If some participants can afford customised exhaust pipes, flashy decals and enough petrol to circle the country, surely they can also afford the energy to walk a few extra steps to the nearest rubbish bin.
After all, revving your engine may earn you attention, but leaving mountains of trash behind only proves that the only thing running on empty wasn’t the fuel tank. It was basic civic responsibility.—Aug 3, 2026
