The Kelantan Police Chief revealed that some people have been modifying their motorcycles to ‘rempit’ through floodwaters
He added that there have been some who have modified their motorcycle exhausts so that they can ride their motorcycles through floodwaters.
“Some people are carrying out ‘rempit‘ activities in the water to the point of modifying their exhaust to be higher, to ride through the floodwaters,”
“My advice is that you can do it for the convenience of rescues, but not to inconvenience other road users. Action can be taken under modification offences,” he said.
The police are watching
He further explained that police officers have always patrolled floodwaters. Hence, the general public should always remain law-abiding under the watchful eyes of the police.
