Touted as Malaysia's largest retro motorcycle gathering, the two-day event at Pantai Morib brought together owners and enthusiasts from across the country, including Sabah and Sarawak, as well as participants from the region including Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand. More than 600 classic and retro motorcycles were on display, alongside vintage-themed exhibitions highlighting the 1970s to 1990s. In addition to the bike showcase, activities included a motorcycle convoy, best modification contests, sales of accessories, performances, special exhibitions by community groups and a lucky draw. Suzuki motorcycles and a collection of Yamaha TZR Deltabox bikes (below) were part of Grand Gathering – Back to Morib 2025 in Banting. The gathering served not only as a showcase of machines but also as a platform for the community to exchange experiences, build networks and promote related industries. Local artists and bands took part in the event, which was aimed at positioning Pantai Morib as a tourism destination in conjunction with Visit Selangor Year 2025. In a statement, Kuala Langat police chief Supt Mohd Akmalrizal Mohd Radzi said the event provided a safe space for fans aged between 20 and 60 to come together, socialise and engage in activities while complying with traffic laws and prioritising road safety. He said no crimes or illegal racing activities were reported, and thanked visitors for their cooperation in maintaining public order and respecting local sensitivities. 'The event also gave an economic boost to the surrounding area, with increased earnings for traders, food vendors, homestays and budget hotels. 'Visitors were also reminded to ensure their vehicles were in good condition and to get adequate rest before returning home, especially those travelling to southern and east coast states,' he said. Present at the event were Kuala Langat district officer Tengku Rohana Tengku Nawawi, Kuala Langat Municipal Council (MPKL) deputy secretary Zulkefli Mohamed Arif, Morib state constituency coordinator Safiee Harun and Orang Besar Daerah Kuala Langat Tengku Datuk Mohamed Tengku Harun. According to social media posts, the theme 'Back to Morib' harks back to the start of Retromania, which first took place at Pantai Morib in 2013.

KDEBWM uncovers five illegal waste dumping hotspots in Kuala Langat
KUALA LANGAT: KDEB Waste Management (KDEBWM) has identified five locations, each spanning two to four hectares, being used as illegal dumping sites in several areas within the Kuala Langat district. Its managing director, Datuk Ramli Mohd Tahir, said the district has become a hotspot for large-scale illegal dumping due to its proximity to the Tanjung Dua Belas landfill. "Among the identified locations are Johan Setia, Sijangkang, Bukit Changgang, Telok Panglima Garang, Tanjung Dua Belas, and land lots near the sea. We believe these activities are carried out by people from outside Kuala Langat. "I suspect this is done by external parties, including factories, because all waste management tenders in this district are handled by KDEBWM, and we constantly monitor the schedule and movement of every truck to ensure waste is disposed of in the correct places," he told reporters at the Kuala Langat Municipal Council (MPKL) headquarters here today. Ramli said that KDEBWM, in collaboration with MPKL, has tried to curb this issue, including the collection of commercial and institutional industrial waste, over the past three years. However, it continues to occur and proliferate each year. In this regard, Ramli said the contract extension between KDEBWM and MPKL until July 2032 will serve as a stepping stone for both parties to work together in planning new approaches to address the illegal dumping problem in the Kuala Langat district. "As an initial step today, KDEBWM launched 25 units of 19-tonne compactor trucks, two 7.5-tonne mini compactors, and one arm roll truck equipped with roll-on roll-off (RoRo) bins, with an allocation totaling RM12 million for waste collection throughout the district. "The management of illegal waste falls outside KDEBWM's scope, but if there's a request from the District and Land Office, I have no problem mobilising available assets to clean up the affected areas with the assistance of MPKL," he said. Earlier, Ramli, accompanied by MPKL President Mohd Hasry Nor Mohd, officiated the launch of the Compactor Trucks and New KDEBWM Image at the MPKL headquarters compound here. - BERNAMA
