KUALA LUMPUR, 21 SEPTEMBER 2026 —
Over 40,000 motorcyclists gathered at Stadium Sultan Abdul Halim in Alor Setar for Ride Dakwah Anak Muda, a two-day event blending Islamic outreach with motorcycle culture, organisers said. The initiative, held September 19–20, targeted mat motor—young riders often linked to illegal street racing—by offering an alternative through faith-based activities.
The event featured religious talks by Ustaz Wadi Annuar, mass prayers, and a group convoy ride, all aimed at steering youth energy toward positive engagement. Popular influencers like TikTok’s Adib ESR and radio host Faizal Ismail (FBI) helped bridge motorcycle culture with the event’s spiritual messaging, while organisers emphasised responsible riding and traffic law compliance. The turnout underscores growing efforts to redirect youth subcultures through community-driven initiatives.
