One of the main causes of road accidents is underaged kids riding motorcycles or even driving cars dangerously, leading to serious injury or death.
A recent TikTok video posted by @akmalim7an went viral with over 754K views and 50K likes. It shows two underaged female kids squatting by the side of the road after being caught by the police for riding a motorcycle.
The incident took place near Sungai Tapang in Tumpat, Kelantan, has sparked significant attention. The girls, unaware of being recorded, followed the officers’ directives, showing a mix of embarrassment and compliance.
Is the punishment good or bad?
It’s evident that the police decided to punish the kids, instead of doing the usuals. This highlights somewhat a parental approach towards them.
Well, though the kids might take it for granted, most hope that they are traumatized by this, and should not repeat such mistake.
This incident underscores the critical importance of road safety, particularly for young motorcyclists. Helmets, often dismissed as inconvenient, are vital for protecting riders during accidents.
In this case, the police chose a memorable but mild form of punishment, likely hoping that the girls would internalize the lesson and prioritize wearing helmets in the future.
Netizens were stunned
“Looks as if they are getting punished for not bringing books to school “said one.
“They definitely don’t have a license, so the police did not wish to give them a fine. Instead, they punished them as a reminder.”
“This is a good idea; the kids will be traumatized.”
