Student attacked by Mat Rempit after crash
By NUR AKMAL
KUALA LUMPUR: A group of Mat Rempit threatened a college student and damaged his car with helmets and other objects in Subang Jaya.
Chin Yaw Fung, 20, was driving along Federal Highway at 3.30am on Sept 2 when his car knocked into a Proton Iswara car.
“I alighted from my car and apologised and was even willing to pay for the damage but the car driver refused to settle the matter.
“Suddenly, about 20 Mat Rempit rode by and started shouting and threatening me.
“I got into my car and drove off,” he said at a press conference held by MCA public complaints and services department chairman Datuk Michael Chong yesterday.

“Then some of them jumped on top of my car and started swinging their helmets, sticks and steering locks at my car,” he said, adding that he sounded his car horn but no one went over to help him.
Several minutes later, a tow-truck driver pulled over. Only then did the gang members stop their attack.
Before fleeing, they took his cellphone, a jacket and an expensive pen. Chin later lodged a report at the Petaling Jaya police headquarters.
In another case, painter Yap Khong Tjun was assaulted by a motorcyclist after an accident in Bandar Tasik Permaisuri about 8pm on Monday.
“It was a minor accident but he refused to settle the matter and we decided to walk to the police station, which was nearby.
“As we were walking, the man swung his helmet at my head several times,” he said, adding that he lodged a report at the Petaling Jaya police headquarters.
