Over 40,000 attendees gathered for Ride Dakwah Anak Muda at Stadium Sultan Abdul Halim, Alor Setar, in Kedah. Held from 19 to 20 September, the community event merges motorcycle culture with Islamic youth outreach.
The programme was designed to reach young motorcyclists, known locally as mat motor, by offering them a positive, faith-based environment. The day’s activities included religious talks, mass congregational prayers, and a group convoy ride, all aimed at channelling youthful energy away from illegal racing and negative street culture.
Key speakers and celebrities spread positive messages
Ustaz Wadi Annuar delivered core Islamic teachings and spiritual guidance tailored to young motorcyclists.
In his lectures, he urged young riders to channel their collective energy into good deeds and mutual support rather than negative street culture. He also stressed the importance of responsible riding, reminding youths to obey traffic laws and look out for one another on the road.
The event also brought in popular radio announcer Faizal Ismail (FBI) and TikTok influencer Adib Addandi (Adib ESR) to connect with the younger crowd. Adib ESR, a well-known figure in motorcycle circles, helped bridge motorcycle culture with the event’s spiritual theme, while motoring influencer Beymad rounded out the lineup, bringing further engagement with the youth audience.
