[Watch] Motorcyclist Nearly Decapitated By Kite String While Riding On MRR2
Subscribe to our FREE A civil servant experienced a terrifying near-death encounter yesterday evening around 6 PM while riding his motorcycle on the Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2) near Taman Tasik Metropolitan Kepong. Muhammad Faris Rosaidee, 27, was travelling from his home in Batu Caves to Bandar Sri Damansara to meet a friend when he suddenly felt something touch his body, followed by a kite string wrapping around his neck. I couldn't see the string. I felt it first touch my body, then rise to chest level and up to my neck . Recounting the terrifying moments, he couldn't stop because there were cars on both sides. Muhammad Faris could only slow down the motorcycle and wait for the string around his neck to break on its own. The string cut through three layers of clothing on his body – his jacket, shirt, and backpack – all of which were torn, with the string slightly cutting the skin on his shoulder. Face Covering Saves Life Fortunately, Muhammad Faris was wearing a special face covering that extended to his neck while riding, which significantly reduced the severity of injuries to his neck area. Following the incident, he filed a report at the Gombak police district headquarters. Police officers from the Kepong Police Station then contacted him for verification and assistance with follow-up actions, including filing reports with Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) and the Kuala Lumpur Traffic Police Station. Muhammad Faris noted that this wasn't an isolated incident, as several other individuals had previously claimed to have been struck by kite strings. When he returned to the scene of the incident, he encountered two individuals in the middle of the highway. I asked them whose kite it was, and they said they were just there to help… I do not suspect them. Victim Calls for Designated Kite Zones Following the incident, Muhammad Faris urged authorities to establish special zones for kite-flying activities in open areas and advised others who have been victims to file reports. Taman Tasik Metropolitan Kepong is a popular destination among kite-flying enthusiasts, with its open spaces ideal for launching and flying kites. I made that video for awareness. Those asking about my condition – Alhamdulillah, my health wasn't severely affected, but I'm worried if this happens to someone else. Police are investigating the case according to Section 80 of the Road Transport Act 1987, which pertains to ropes, wires, or other similar objects placed across a road. The broken kite string was found hanging on a roadside streetlight after the incident. This dangerous encounter highlights the serious safety hazards posed by kite strings stretched across busy roads, which can potentially cause fatal accidents to motorcyclists and other road users.

Kite string rips through clothes and bag strap, nearly strangles motorcyclist on KL highway, Malaysia News
A motorcyclist travelling on a highway in Kuala Lumpur had a close brush with death after becoming ensnarled in a line of kite string on Sunday (July 20). Muhammad Faris Rosaidee, 27, told Malaysian media outlet Harian Metro that he had felt something brushing his body and moving up until it wrapped around his neck. "I was wearing three layers of clothing — a jacket, a shirt, and I had a backpack. All three were torn, and it scraped the skin on my shoulder slightly," he said. Faris said he was unable to stop along the highway and could only slow down and wait for the string to snap. Local politician Lim Lip Eng shared on Facebook a video that the motorcyclist had filmed after the incident. The clip shows a kite stuck on a streetlight along the highway, and another kite being flown nearby. The camera then pans to Faris, who points to a strip of raw skin on his neck. He then shows his ripped shirt and outerwear as well as the strap of his backpack, which has been sliced through. Lim said in his post that flying kites near highways is "reckless and dangerous", and that he has asked authorities to re-evaluate the areas where kite-flying is permitted. Faris also told Harian Metro that he was wearing a face and neck covering at the time of the incident, which likely reduced his injury. "The doctor said it only affected the outermost layer of skin, like a burn... there was no bleeding, and I've already been to a nearby clinic for treatment," he explained. KL Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department chief Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa confirmed the incident on Monday and said the victim had suffered rope friction burns to his neck, reported Bernama. The incident is being investigated for possible road offences. [[nid:720425]]

Three fabric layers torn: Kite string nearly strangles biker near KL park
KUALA LUMPUR: A motorcyclist was left injured and shaken after a kite string wrapped around his neck while he was riding near Taman Tasik Metropolitan Kepong on Sunday evening. "I couldn't stop because there were cars on both sides. All I could do was slow down the motorcycle and wait for the string around my neck to snap on its own," said Muhammad Faris Rosaidee, 27, recalling the terrifying moment. Taman Metropolitan Kepong is a popular kite flying area. A circulating video on WhatsApp and Facebook shows the biker with a neck injury — a raw line of broken skin. The civil servant said the incident occurred around 6pm while he was travelling from his home in Batu Caves to Bandar Sri Damansara to meet a friend. Faris was riding along the Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2), a route he regularly uses, when he felt something brush against him before a kite string suddenly tightened around his neck. "I didn't see the string. I felt it first touch my body, then rise to chest level and finally around my neck. "I was wearing three layers of clothing at the time – a jacket, a shirt, and I had a backpack. All three were torn, and it scraped the skin on my shoulder slightly," he told Harian Metro. Fortunately, Faris was wearing a face and neck covering that reduced the severity of the injury. "The doctor said it only affected the outermost layer of skin, like a burn... there was no bleeding, and I've already been to a nearby clinic for treatment," he said, adding that he has lodged a police report at the Gombak District Police Headquarters (IPD). As the incident occurred within the Kepong area, police from the local station contacted him for further details and helped facilitate reports to Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) and the traffic police. "This morning, I went there and then proceeded to DBKL to file an official complaint. Alhamdulillah, all police reports have been submitted," he said. Faris said that this was not an isolated case, claiming others have reported similar incidents involving kite strings in the area. He also returned to the scene and confronted two individuals near the string. "I asked them whose kite it was. They said they were only there to help… I didn't suspect them of anything," he said. Faris is calling for designated kite-flying zones to prevent similar incidents and has encouraged other victims to come forward. "I made the video to raise awareness. For those asking about my condition – Alhamdulillah, my health is mostly unaffected. I'm just worried if it happens to someone else next time," he said.
