Mat Rempit, Samseng Jalanan or maybe just plain Belia Perlu Bantuan

Recently there are a lot of debates about renaming the people who do illegal racing on public road. Previously, they are known as "Mat Rempit" and now the traffic police decided to name this group of people Samseng Jalanan.

I personally and professionally disagree with both names. When you classify them with certain names that actually glorify their act you will see them happily enjoying the tag and it may even attract more people joining this hobby. This is because the brain will produce endorphins that will make them feel "high" and excited. I think the name "samseng jalanan" will make their brain produce more endorphins and create a greater "HIGH".

Just call them Belia Perlu Bantuan, i think they will stop doing what they are doing now because it is not glamorous at all and sound needy instead of wanted.
