On July 18, 1997, Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. (YMC) President Takehiko Hasegawa was in attendance for the signing of an agreement in Malaysia for the founding of a new joint venture company to engage in the development of motorcycles. This becomes the second independent joint venture company devoted to the development of Yamaha brand motorcycles in Asia following the January 1997 founding of Yamaha Motor R&D Taiwan Co., Ltd. (YMRT).
The new company is to be named HL Yamaha Motor Research Centre Sdn. Bhd. (HLYR) and is established in Sungai Buloh, Selangor, Malaysia with YMC's partner Hong Leong Industries Bhd (President & CEO: Kwek Leng San, company name abbreviation: HLI). The new company is capitalized at approximately 36 million yen (800,000 Malaysia dollars) with YMC investing 51% and HLI 49%.
The new company will be engaged in the development of motorcycles for the related motorcycle companies in Malaysia. At present, the motorcycle market in Malaysia is expected to show substantial growth that will be accompanied by intensified competition. This fact will increase the necessity for a higher degree of domestic production of components and completed motorcycles. In light of these conditions, the aim of the new company will be to help supply the market with competitive models that fit the specific needs of Malaysians in a timely fashion. Plans call for the new company to begin operations in October of this year. More detailed information about the specific business plans will be announced following official approval to engage in business from the Malaysian government.
At YMC we are dedicated to a basic policy of "developing and manufacturing products in the country where they will be used," with the aim of achieving the capacity to develop and manufacture products that fit the individual nature of the market and user needs in each country in a quick and timely manner. Based on this philosophy, Yamaha brand products are being manufactured today in 60 factories in 45 countries around the world under a program of increasing localization and globalization. In the same way, localization and globalization of product development is also proceeding in accordance with the individuality and capabilities of each market, and today there are specialized R&D operations at 13 bases around the world, including development companies like the new HLYR.
At YMC we will continue to dedicate ourselves to the creation of a development network that stresses the efficiency and market-specific concentration of development activities for the entire Yamaha group by building operations that can function with increasing quality and capacity and on shorter lead time to better respond to the distinct needs of each market amid today's increasingly global market competition.

Mat Rempit BENCI RASUAH
Berita: Konvoi Kemerdekaan 'Belia Benci Rasuah' di Negeri Sembilan
Cuaca agak mendung ketika Zainudin sampai di bumi Adat Perpatih ini pada jam 10:15 pagi, 30 Ogos 2007 lepas. Ketibaan Zainudin disambut dengan penuh kesyukuran dan kegembiraan oleh para peserta konvoi. Sebanyak 30 buah kereta serta 50 buah motor yang lengkap dengan pelekat “Belia Benci Rasuah” dan bendera Jalur Gemilang siap siaga menanti di Tol Seremban.
Turut hadir ketika itu ialah Pesuruhjaya PAS NS, Sdr. Zulkifli Omar, Ketua DPP Negeri Sembilan, Hj Taufek Abd. Ghani, Pengerusi GERAK NS, Ust Suhaimi Kassim, Eks. Koordinator GERAK Malaysia, Sdr. Badrul Hisham Shahrin (CheguBard) dan beberapa orang penyokong dari PAS, UMNO dan KeADILan. Jelas bahawa GERAK adalah merupakan sebuah badan NGO yang memperjuangkan isu rasuah tanpa ada halangan kepada mana-mana parti politik untuk turut serta dalam usaha melawan rasuah. Walaupun agak keletihan setelah 10 hari menjelajah seluruh semenanjung, namun Zainudin masih mampu mengukir senyuman tanda semangatnya yang kental untuk meneruskan misi "BELIA BENCI RASUAH"
Tepat jam 11:00 pagi, Pengerusi GERAK NS, Ust Suhaimi Kassim memberi taklimat ringkas tentang perjalanan konvoi dan seterusnya melepaskan para peserta konvoi. Bandar Seremban bertambah meriah dengan kehadiran para peserta konvoi yang membawa misi "BELIA BENCI RASUAH" . Lambaian serta sorakan sebagai tanda sokongan dari orang ramai telah membuatkan para peserta konvoi makin bersemangat walaupun ketika itu hujan renyai-renyai telah mula turun.
Para peserta konvoi yang diketuai oleh Zainudin tiba di Wisma Negeri pada jam 12:15 tengahari. Setelah menanti kira-kira 10 minit, Pegawai Khas kepada Menteri Besar NS, Sdr. Zulkifli Awang telah turun untuk menerima memorandum "Merdekakan Malaysia Dari Rasuah" yang diserahkan oleh Zainudin sendiri. Beliau yang mewakili MB NS, memohon kemaafan bagi pihak MB yang tidak dapat hadir bagi menerima memorandum atas sebab urusan rasmi di Istana Negeri. Beliau juga mengucapkan syabas atas usaha GERAK dalam memartabatkan Rasuah Musuh NO. 1 Negara. Laungan "Merdeka!" dan "Rasuah Musuh No. 1 Negara!" oleh para peserta konvoi dan orang ramai telah menggegarkan Wisma Negeri ketika itu.
Setelah menunaikan Solat Zohor di Masjid Negeri, satu taklimat keselamatan secara ringkas telah diberikan oleh CheguBard dan Zainudin kepada para peserta konvoi. Zainudin juga mengambil kesempatan ini untuk beramah mesra dengan para peserta konvoi yang terdiri dari anak-anak muda disamping bercerita tentang pengalaman masing-masing dalam arena permotoran.
Hujan makin lebat, namun tidak sedikit pun mematahkan semangat para peserta konvoi untuk meneruskan perjalanan ke Putrajaya. Tepat jam 3.00 petang, dengan lafaz Bismillah, CheguBard melepaskan peserta konvoi ke Putrajaya. Para peserta konvoi telah mengambil masa sejam setengah untuk sampai di Tol Kajang. Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan jadi meriah dengan kehadiran para peserta konvoi.
Pengerusi GERAK Malaysia, Sdr. Ezam Md. Noor dan Pengarah Program, Sdr. Ghani Harun telah bersedia menanti di Tol Kajang untuk sama-sama mengiringi para peserta konvoi bagi menyerahkan memorandum kepada Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Dato' Seri Abdullah Badawi.

all about MAT REMPIT@ MINAH REMPIT
Oleh kerana isu mat rempit nih dah hari2 kuar kat sotkabar or tv, aku bukak topik khas utk diaorang.......
nih isu yg baru berlaku kelmarin bila geng2 mat rempit mengganas kat penang.........
ROBBED BY MAT REMPIT! DAMN IT!
Date : 10th Dec 2006
At approx 4.00, we started our journey to Pacific Mall, Perai to meet up with 2 friends who were supposed to pick us up and head to Cameron Highland.
Towards the last 200m of Penang bridge, we saw a grey colour Satria in front of us turned into the fast lane. We then realized there was a helmet lying on the floor in the middle of the slow lane. We couldn’t avoid the helmet and ran over it.
The helmet got stuck beneath the front part of the car.
It was around 4.30 am then. We had to continue driving as we couldn’t stop on Penang Bridge. As soon as we exit from Penang Bridge, we decided to stop by the roadside because the friction and noise caused by the helmet was too great. As we slowed down, one motorcycle with 2 Malay guys approached us. We stopped the car and my dad went down to check on the helmet which got stuck under the car.
Out of a sudden, more than 20 over Malay guys, all on motorcycles approached our car out of nowhere with very angry faces. They surrounded the front and side perimeter of our car.
We thought they were after the helmet that we ran through and we apologized to them. They shouted at us to get out of the car. Panicked, we locked the car. One of the guys started hitting the driver seat windscreen with his helmet and smashed the windscreen. They then unlocked the car. One guy grabbed my handbag which I’ve placed near to the gearbox. The other guys opened the right door behind the driver seat and grabbed my sister’s bag pack. At that very same moment, they threw a whole lot of an unidentified powder (which we later find out that it might be sulfur) which caused us to lose our vision and suffocate. Another guy opened the back door on the left and start grabbing my friend’s waist pouch but to no avail. They gave up and sped away.
Later after the incident, my dad told us that as soon as he got out of the car, he saw 2 guys approaching and shouted to him about the helmet. When he is facing the guys, they shouted that they want bag. He is scared for the safety of the girls; therefore, he held both his hands up to indicate ‘slow down and I’ll give you’. That was when they started to surround him until he has no space to move and snatched off his wallet from his back pocket. My dad then made a turn to have a look at the girls and at that instance; he was attacked with the powder which caused him to lose his vision and breath.
We immediately called the police after the gang sped away. We also called our friends who were nearby. Before the police arrived, a few of the motorbikes actually turned back and waited under some trees after the exit of the Penang Bridge, waiting for their next victim. One of them came quite near to us and looked at us as if telling us “Poor fellas, what can you do to us!”
It all happened in less than 2 minutes. In this incident, we lost approximately RM 3500 including cash, hand phones, a digital camera, a smashed windscreen, and a damaged interior of the car.
Worse, all four of us were traumatized by the incident. We could have lost our lives.
While we were lodging police report at Balai Polis Perai, another girl came to lodge a police report at the same police station. She too was followed and robbed by a group of 20 over Malay guys on motorcycles, whom the police suspected were committed by the same gang.
The policemen who have came to us and whom we met at the police station seems to be aware of the so-called Mat Rempits and what they have been doing, and they pitied us with what happened. One of them even commented that “we were lucky that they did not sprayed chilly powder instead”.( this is what they can do-empathy)
We also need to highlight that we arrived at the police station at approximately 5.30am. The entire report process took us around 6 hours which was also ridiculous.( where is the Barisan rep, where is the MCA rep?, where is the LAW? )
As victims of this incident, and as members of the public, we need to know what actions the authorities have taken since they were aware of similar incidents which have been taking place for quite some time. Also, what are the actions that they will take to prevent another unlucky victim to go through the entire traumatic experience which will haunt us for our lifetime?
The incident was reported on Star Newspaper dated 11th Dec 2006, on page N26. Nonetheless, the content of the report was inaccurate. The report itself sounded like “just another robbery”.
