JOHOR BARU: Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar (pic) has expressed anger over mat rempit racing on the road opposite the Hospital Sultanah Aminah (HSA) and disturbing the patients.
The Johor Ruler said he had received complaints of sleepless nights from the patients in the hospital due to the loud noise from the motorcycles as the mat rempit raced along Jalan Pantai Lido.
He urged police to take immediate action against the mat rempit and nab them for racing, inconveniencing other motorists and disturbing the patients.
“Stop being involved in the useless activity. Think of others, including patients getting treatment at the hospital,” he said in a statement issued by the Royal Press Office here yesterday.
He said his son, the late Tunku Laksamana Johor Almarhum Tunku Abdul Jalil, had told him that he could not sleep at night during treatment at the hospital due to the noise.
His daughter-in-law Che Puan Khaleeda Bustamam, said the Sultan, also faced a similar situation when giving birth to her two children at the hospital.
Her husband and the Sultan’s son, Tunku Makhota Johor Tunku Ismail, could not sleep, especially between midnight and 3am, due to the noise.
“I also had sleepless night during my hospitalisation at the HSA Royal Ward,” said Sultan Ibrahim.
