High-performance kapcai motorcycles must be banned – IGP Acryl Sani

High-performance kapcai motorcycles must be banned – IGP Acryl Sani

Tan Sri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani has voiced out against high-performance kapcais after a recent viral video showing the Suzuki Raider R150 Fi topping out at 177km/h on a dyno.

Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani recently expressed his concerns over high-performance kapcai motorcycles in Malaysia.

Acryl Sani described high-performance motorcycles as one of the reasons for the increase in road accidents. In August last year, seven out of 10 road fatalities are kapcai riders.

The statement was made following a previous report which revealed that the Suzuki Raider R150 Fi was able to top out at 177km/h on a dyno engine.

“Vehicles (kapcai) like this must be banned in Malaysia (because) there is no relevant speed of 177 km/h on the road while the maximum speed limit is 110 km/h (on the highway),” said Acryl Sani to FMT.

“This [fast kapcais] is among the largest causes of mortalities among motorcyclists and rempits.”

Following that, the IGP proposed that high-performance kapcai be banned from being sold in the local market.

At the same time, Acryl Sani is also expecting The Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) is the driving force in formulating a safe motorcycle policy in the future.

At the annual general meeting of the Road Safety Council three years ago, a senior JSPT official suggested to the Ministry of Transport that a new B3 motorcycle licensing category be created for youths by only being allowed to ride low-powered electric motorcycles or 100cc combustion motorcycles and below by 2025.

“If we have this new category of licensees, it can save many lives. It will benefit the country. If we have a long -term policy to control the target group of 16 to 25 years and form a new culture for them to only ride low -powered motorcycles, ”said JSPT Chief Assistant Director (Enforcement) Bakri Zainal Abidin.

Six months ago, a transportation planner recommended that “underbone” kapcai motorcycles be phased out of sale in the market and replaced with low-powered electric motorcycles to curb the high number of deaths and road accidents among motorcycle users.
