Matreps are gangsters of the Malay
race. They are normally identified by their distinctive Malay accent, darker skin colour, bad
English, strong
cigarette smell and sleeve tattoos.
They like to hang out in groups and will start a fight with anyone. They are normally in an unstable relationship with a minah.
Their favourite mode of transport are
E-Scooters that are illegally modified to make them feel like the king of the road.
Since they are lowly educated with terrible academic results, they rely on their E-Scooters to do food delivery for a living. Luckier Matreps will manage to secure a
job delivering parcels using a modded
Toyota Hiace, which they can
blast their favourite
DJ mixes.
When they get their driving license, their choice of vehicles to purchase on full loan are cheap and/or over 10 years old. Their
top picks are: Yamaha Sniper, Yamaha Aerox (Motorcycles), Mitsubishi Lancer, Honda Civic, Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Scirocco (Cars). Like their E-Scooters, they will illegally modify their vehicle to make the loudest, obnoxious sounding noises that a vehicle can make. They like the attention from shocked by-standers as they speed past them recklessly.
“If you see a group of Matreps hanging out at
night, back away slowly!”
“Why does a matrep have so many
children with a minah even though he cannot afford to
raise them?”
