Part 6/11:
Despite legal restrictions, illegal street racing persists, often taking place in secluded spots such as the notorious Lim Chu Kang area. Sam, a former street racing participant, recounts how racers gather in groups, staging short, adrenaline-fueled runs on the highway at speeds exceeding 140 km/h. These clandestine events are driven by ego, thrill-seeking, and the desire for bragging rights.
Sam admits that technological surveillance such as speed cameras has reduced the frequency of street races but hasn't eliminated them entirely. When asked why racers continue risking their lives, he attributes it to a need for expression and adrenaline, compounded by a lack of designated motorsport venues—something he suggests the government could facilitate with dedicated racetracks.
