I AM quite distressed by all the news about the “mat lajak” (youngsters who race or perform stunts on modified bicycle) and what seems to be instances of pandering to this group.
As a cyclist myself, I feel the politicians need to understand that this activity has nothing to do with cycling per se. It would be disingenuous for our young Youth and Sports Minister, Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, to think that from here, some future stars will come up for cycling sports.
