Wee: Two amendments made to law against illegal racing


PETALING JAYA: Two amendments to the Road Transport Act, introduced by the Transport Ministry in 2020, have increased penalties for illegal racing involving mat rempit and motorcycles, as well as reckless driving, says Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

He said DAP chairman Lim Guan Eng was clueless about the amendments made to the Act in 2020 when he (Lim) issued a statement on Sunday claiming that no action was taken to address the mat rempit culture.
