[edit] Synopsis
The story is about a Mat Rempit named Madi who works as a despatch boy during the daytime and involves in street races during the night time. As a Mat Rempit, his activities at night is not limited to street racing but also to heat up the streets with various Mat Rempit stunts such as wheelie, Superman, wikang etc.
Madi has a girlfriend named Ieka who often bugs him to marry her after they have made sex many times, but Madi only focuses on collecting his money to buy a Yamaha Y125Z as his new ride rather than marrying her, since he only owns a Honda EX-5 which is not very powerful enough for street racing. Besides, Madi also has a best friend named Macha who often gives him the information about every street race that he is about to take part.
After winning many street races, a challenger named Spark comes along with his gangs to challenge Madi for a pink slip race. As a bail, the loser has to give his ride to the winner. Madi loses the race and he is supposed to give away his Yamaha Y125Z to Spark as promised but Madi decides to run away. However, Spark and his gangs have found him and they beat Madi severely. Madi is severely injured and his right leg is fractured during the fight. What's worse, his motorcycle has been torched down by Spark and his gangs.
6 months have passed and Madi is no longer a despatch boy. He is now working as a mechanic in a motorcycle workshop. One day, one of Spark's underling comes to the workshop but then beaten by Madi. After beating him, Madi told Spark's underling for a one-make race involving Yamaha RX-Z with Spark as a payback. Then, Macha meets Madi at the workshop and brings him to Wazi's place to buy his Yamaha RX-Z. With the second-hand motorcycle bought from Wazi, Madi begins practising with the bike once he has fully recovered.
Finally, the time for the final showdown has arrived. Madi, Spark and several other Mat Rempits races along Shah Alam Expressway. Some of the Mat Rempits are crashed at a toll plaza while others are crashed at the motorcycle lane along the expressway, leaving only Madi and Spark. After a fierce challenge along Shah Alam Expressway, Spark played a cheap shot - he kicks Madi, causing him to collide with a lorry and died. Spark, however, escaped away.
The movie ends here, but during the ending credits of the movie, it is revealed that Spark has finally being arrested by the police and is sent to jail. Meanwhile, Macha has quit being a Mat Rempit and married Ieka as a result of the tragedy that has caused him to lose his best friend.
