What the..?

I find the following article rather amusing :p lolz

MAT Rempit* in Kelantan will be allowed to show off their skills at a special track to be built by the state government soon, Kosmo! reported.

Kelantan Mentri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat said the track in Tanah Merah was not a waste of money.

“They (Mat Rempit) always make their mothers and wives worry.

“With the track they will have a proper place to express their feelings and show their bravery and heroics,” he said during the winding-up of the supplementary Budget at the State Assembly.

Went to the Utusan Malaysia website to find the full version of the story, and here's an extension to what was being said.
"Budak-budak ini mempunyai keluarga dan kalau benda buruk berlaku, ibu bapa mereka akan susah, polis dan bomba terpaksa kerja keras bagi menahan mereka dan membantu yang cedera dalam kemalangan."

"JKR (Jabatan Kerja Raya) pula terpaksa membaiki jalan atau penghadang jalan yang rosak akibat dirempuh," katanya.

Only in Malaysia.
