Why and why it happens?

Join hand =

Hello and hey everyone... With me again, Mohd Shaffi Bin Mahadi (A124280).. Continuing talking about illegal street racing..In my last post, I did mentioned about the definition of illegal street racing..Now, I want to move on to the second question which is why illegal street racing occurred in Malaysia. Everything happens for a reason and in this case it is the same..In my opinion, I think there is one major factor contributing to the occurrence of Illegal Street racing in Malaysia.

First and foremost, we have to find out the core or the root of the problem and in this crisis it leads to the mind set of the society. What do it means actually? It means that how the society address this particular problem. The range is whether they hate it very much or they just assume it as a petty issue that is not worth enough to be bothered off. I want to quote a sentence from http://www.evostreetracers.com/about_faq.html that stated that "...strategic law enforcement is dependent on the current social values of society. Frequently it takes numerous deaths for a society to react to a problem, demand change from politicians, and for law enforcement to react..".So from that statement it shows that how the society thinks or addresses any particular problem including this problem are very essential.The people in large hold the power. They can form a government with it and if the society wants illegal street racing to be wiped out entirely from our society, it can be done. Pressure from the society will force our leader to put extra effort in countering this problem.

But as usual, every problem has its own barriers. In this context, the barrier is mass media.The government is trying to solve the problem but the mass media portraying it oppositely.Movies like "Evolusi KL Drift", "Impak Maksima" and "Fast and Furious" are making the task tougher than it has been. Now, the society eyes are derived but time will reveal the truth about how nasty this problem is. News from http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/arkib.asp?y=2008&dt=0628&pub=utusan_malaysia&sec=mahkamah&pg=ma_04.htm&arc=hive can speak for itself when it stated that there is a "mat rempit" that brave enough to knock down a police officer.

As a responsible society, everybody should join their hand and fight this problem with all manners. Surely, we don`t want to wait till the boiling point where it will explode. The time where all the perpetrators that committed illegal street racing are the king of the street. Till that happens, it means that we still have the time. The law enforcer should not be left alone to fight this problem and the society should join in with the force even tough it is not directly but indirect actions such as reporting the event of illegal street racing could be more than enough.

The problem derives from the society and from the society the cure will be found.
So, till then..See you when I see you.
Adios (“P)
