Putera Umno, Mat Rempits and Pesta Seks

You would have noted that in the recent past our roads and highways have been hijacked by the so-called Mat Rempits - motorists who believe in daredevil stunts using their machines, usually just to show disrespect for law and to win lucrative prizes which at times involve girls.

Then Putera Umno - the male youth wing of the ruling party - came up with this wonderful idea on how to cultivate these ‘mad’-motorists so that they can be turned into Umno voters and members.

With that in mind, the wing organised a two-day expedition from KL to Lumut involving about 8,000 Mat Rempits and their girlfriends last weekend. The idea was to get these youngsters to be part of the community and one of their tasks were to clean up a local mosque.

Whatever it is, the organisers supremely underestimated these youths. What happened next had all the signs of a classic civil service/ruling party blunder.

With apparent no one to monitor them, these youths started to have fun in Lumut. The locals there had complained to the religious department that some of these youngsters were involved in sexual activities, while others are said to have gone on a booze party.

Some of the female participants are accused of wearing revealing clothes while working in the mosque and some others are said to have been frolicking in the mosque’s ablution pond in broad daylight.

All these are reported in today’s Harian Metro tabloid. In all, these youngsters had had a good time at the expense of Putera Umno.

Unsurprisingly Putera Umno denies any of these took place and promises to organise more events for these 'wayward' youngsters.

Given the fun that the first expedition had offered, I am sure more Mat Rempits and their girlfriends will join in future expeditions. But whether they are there to be brainwashed by Umno is another question all together.
