Motorcycle accidents in Malaysia

Overview

Earlier reports documented two fatal motorcycle crashes involving participants of the RXZ Members program in Pahang – one on the Kuantan‑Segamat road that injured a 41‑year‑old and a 34‑year‑old rider, and another on the East Coast Expressway that killed a 19‑year‑old rider after a collision with a car. Both incidents are being investigated under the Road Transport Act.

A later incident occurred during the RXZ Members 8.0 rally in Kuala Terengganu. Within 24 hours three riders died on the East Coast Highway (LPT1): a 19‑year‑old from Klang lost control of his Yamaha LC135 and was struck by a Perodua Myvi near kilometre 112.3 in Temerloh; a 44‑year‑old rider crashed his Yamaha 125ZR at kilometre 184.9 in Maran; and another rider was killed when his bike was hit by a Yamaha RXZ at the same kilometre point in Maran. In a separate collision at a traffic light in Kampung Bulu Gading, a Yamaha RXZ ridden by a 24‑year‑old participant struck a Honda Beat, injuring a pregnant woman and her 13‑year‑old son. Organisers, led by Mohamad Faizal Mat Ali, pledged zero fatalities, but police investigations continue under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
