MyWatch wants action against ‘outriders’

There must be some kind of action which can be taken against them under the law.

KUALA LUMPUR: MyWatch, the Malaysian Crime Watch Task Force, says that it has received numerous public complaints that civilians on high-powered motorcycles, are virtually masquerading as police, and providing outrider services for their well-heeled employers.

These leather-jacketed outriders are even telling other road users to make way for their employers, said MyWatch chairman R. Sri Sanjeevan in a statement. “They have no consideration for others. They are making a nuisance of themselves on the road.”

The NGO is surprised that the police are not aware of these outriders and stressed that there must be some kind of action which can be taken against them under the law.

Generally, other than VVIPs, civilians too can request for outrider services from the police for funerals and weddings, among others. Police can provide private security guard services too.

It was not immediately clear whether the “unauthorized” outriders were breaking any law.
