Brain in the kneecap

There is a Malay phrase "letak otak di lutut" referring to stupid actions. The phrase literally (more or less) translates to the title of this posting.

I am very much fed up with the stupid acts of teens and twinks who ride their motorbikes like people without brains. Even if they do have brains, probably it's located in their kneecaps.

Almost every evening after 6 o'clock, a bunch of youths would gather along Jalan 1/56 in AU3 Keramat. Most of them would start racing and doing crazy stunts along the busy road zigzagging other vehicles.

If I were a betting man, I would be willing to bet that:
  1. Most of these kids don't have proper licences
  2. Most of these kids are from the neighbourhood
  3. Since this neighbourhood also include police and army quarters, most probably most of these kids are children of police and army personnel
Fortunately, I'm not a betting man. But I really hope something is done about this. These youths may be doing this because of the adrenalin rush, and probably because they don't have anything better to do. I remember about a decade ago, someone got killed along the same road because of illegal racing. Do we have to wait for another person to get killed?

What a waste for someone to die like that.
