‘Kopi reggae’ keeps transvestites up and going
A TRANSVESTITE claimed that a special concoction of coffee called kopi reggae has helped to restore his sexual energy and allowed him to entertain more than 10 clients a night.
In the front-page report by Harian Metro, Syazliyana (not his real name), who is in his 20s, revealed that the coffee could keep him up all night thus helping him provide “better service” to the customers.
It was learnt that the coffee was mixed with drugs such as syabu and ganja. However, to cut costs, it can be mixed with ketum leaves powder (a herb with psychotropic effects) as it was cheap and could be bought at RM30 per kg.
The coffee mixture was prepared by a pimp and distributed free to the transvestites there.
Syazliyana said although he knew the ingredients of the coffee, he did not mind as it was effective and given for free.
He said the effects of the coffee took five minutes to kick in and one would feel refreshed and ‘high.’
Men’s health expert Dr Ismail Thamby said an individual who continues to consume the drink would experience long-term effects such as kidney and heart complications and brain damage that could eventually lead to death.
Mat rempit asked for help from police
> A tired mat rempit asked for help from police officers after trying in vain to lift his motorcycle from the bushes, reported Kosmo!
The man, in his 20s, was trying to escape a police operation to curb illegal racing at Pantai Lido in Johor Baru.
He resorted to hiding in the bushes but the plan backfired as the motorcycle got stuck.
Police officers observed the man who was trying helplessly to lift his motorcycle for 10 minutes before he finally asked for the officers’ help: “Tuan, tolong tarik motosikal saya, tuan (Sir, please help me to pull my motorcycle, sir).”
He was later issued a summons for riding a motorcycle without side mirrors. Johor traffic police chief Supt T. Raveendran said the man was among 200 riders who were searched in the operation that ended at 4am.
Police issued 60 summonses and seized 36 motorcycles for various offences including riding without road tax and side mirrors, expired licences and illegal modification.
