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?”
