Kopi Reggae
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 a 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 ($12.50) 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. -- The Star/ANN

Azab cinta sejenis
Oleh Mary Victoria Dass
maryvictoria@hmetro.com.my
JOHOR BAHRU: “Janji dia menyayangi saya di dunia dan akhirat adalah drama semata-mata. Selepas dua bulan tinggal bersama, dia mula tunjuk belang termasuk mencuri wang dan menggadai semua barang kemas saya,” kata seorang mangsa pengkid temberang yang hanya mahu dikenali sebagai Anita, 33, semalam.
Ibu kepada seorang cahaya mata itu menyesali peristiwa hitam dalam kehidupannya gara-gara terpedaya pujuk rayu dan godaan kekasih kaum sejenis hingga melarikan diri meninggalkan anak dan suami pada 2005.
Dia sanggup melupakan anaknya yang ketika itu berusia tujuh tahun dan suami yang bekerja sebagai pekerja kontrak.
Mengenang semula peristiwa gelap itu, kata Anita, ia umpama mimpi buruk kerana tidak menyangka boleh terjalin hubungan intim bersama Angah yang berperwatakan lelaki di tempat kerja iaitu sebuah kilang di Tampoi.
“Angah yang berusia 40-an berpura-pura baik dan penyayang sehingga menjadi tempat saya berkongsi masalah keluarga. Hubungan kami kemudian bertambah rapat dan lebih daripada rakan biasa.
“Saya taksub dengan kata-kata Angah lalu mengabaikan tanggungjawab sebagai isteri mahupun ibu. Selama setahun menjalin hubungan bersamanya, saya sanggup membelanjakan semua duit gaji bagi memenuhi pelbagai permintaannya.
“Apabila cinta songsang kami diketahui keluarga, saya tidak berfikir panjang untuk melarikan diri apabila Angah mengajak memulakan kehidupan baru bersamanya disebabkan tiada pilihan lain untuk menyelamatkan hubungan itu,” katanya.
Anita berkata, mereka melarikan diri ke Melaka dengan bekerja sebagai operator pengeluaran manakala tempat tinggal di asrama pekerja.
Kebahagiaan mereka tidak kekal lama kerana pengkid terbabit mula menunjukkan sikap agresif termasuk nyaris mencederakannya beberapa kali apabila hubungan percintaannya dengan seorang gadis lain terbongkar.
“Angah sanggup mencuri pelbagai barang kemas saya dan wang semata-mata untuk menampung keperluan kehidupan sosialnya.
“Perbuatannya menimbulkan tekanan hebat kerana sudahlah saya meninggalkan keluarga demi dia, dia pula bersikap lepas tangan walaupun pernah berjanji sehidup semati bersama saya.
“Saya terkilan dengan tindakannya memperbodohkan saya apabila menghilangkan diri dan meninggalkan saya berseorangan,” katanya ketika ditemui di rumah keluarganya di Kempas, semalam.
Anita berkata, dia bersyukur kerana keluarga sanggup menerimanya dan berjanji tidak akan mengulangi perbuatan itu.
Selama ini dia bekerja di Temerloh kerana tidak mahu pulang kerana bimbang keluarga tidak akan menerima kehadirannya.
“Perpisahan itu balasan Allah terhadap perbuatan saya dan ia memberi pengajaran.
“Hanya kunci rumah yang saya bawa bersama menjadi pengubat rindu terhadap keluarga selama tiga tahun ini,” katanya yang tidak menyangka ahli keluarga termasuk ibunya yang sanggup meminta bantuan Harian Metro pertengahan Ogos lalu.
Dia yang membaca berita itu segera menelefon ibu dan memaklumkan situasi sebenar kerana tidak mahu dia bimbangkan keselamatannya.
“Kami tidak tahan sebak kerana sudah lama tidak berbual, tetapi saya tidak dapat pulang segera ke Johor kerana perlu memberi notis berhenti kerja kepada majikan.
“Saya tidak menjangka ibu dan anak saya, Lela yang kini sudah berusia 10 tahun sanggup menjemput saya di Terminal Pengangkutan Awam Larkin apabila saya tiba di Johor kelmarin,” katanya.
Pada 15 Ogos lalu, Harian Metro melaporkan perbuatan seorang tomboi yang melarikan isteri seorang pekerja kontrak sejak tiga tahun lalu hingga gagal dikesan.
Kejadian itu mengakibatkan keluarga wanita terbabit hanya mampu meratap kesedihan apabila insan kesayangan mereka menjadi mangsa pujukan tomboi itu.
Keluarga berkenaan pernah membuat laporan polis mengenai kehilangan wanita itu di Balai Polis Larkin di sini, 23 April 2005.

LONDON LOG WITH CHOI TUCK WO
Britain is now tapping into the growing gay market.
WHILE the issue of tomboys and lesbians hogged the media limelight in Malaysia recently, the subject came up for debate in Britain, too.
The estimated three million gays and lesbians in Britain are being vigorously “courted” by various quarters – from High Street shops and Internet retailers to music stores and honeymoon tour operators.
With London being home to the largest gay and lesbian com-munity in Europe, there is a gro-wing awareness of the potential of this huge and lucrative market.
The latest report on gay consumers spending a whopping £23bil with their credit cards last year must have been an eye-opener for many retailers.
Even gay and lesbian honeymoons account for almost £50mil each year.
Admittedly, the number of gay weddings had dropped by nearly half to about 8,700 last year. But it doesn’t signal that the honeymoon is over for such marriages.
Obviously, the boom in 2005 was to be expected. When you have a backlog of people wanting to tie the knot, there will inevitably be a rush when they are allowed to do so.
Thus the decline may not be too surprising. If anything, the fall simply reflects a levelling out to a more normal rate.
There could also have been cases in which some gays had pulled out at the last minute, as they were not psychologically prepared to walk to the altar yet.
Amid the debate over the spending power of the gay community, the question is whether the marketing industry has done enough to capitalise on this largely untapped market.
Say what you like, but the industry needs to develop more new products, new targeted campaigns and more training for their workers to cater for gays and lesbians.
So far, the “one-size-fits-all” marketing promotions seem to be targeting the general population – the fashion-conscious, music lovers, food connoisseurs and even children.
Well, just about everyone, except the gay and lesbian consumers. For the most part, they are left pretty much to themselves to pick out what they want.
Then again, there’s nothing really wrong in buying the things you want based on your needs, instead of being influenced by advertising campaigns.
And during the financial squeeze, there’s even more reason to be prudent in one’s spending.
So while shopping for Christmas is inevitable, the tendency to overspend must be curbed, irrespective of the irresistible promotions and festive offers.
After all, it’s always wise to save for a rainy day. The economic slowdown affects everyone, whether gay or not.

Gender poser
THE DOCTOR SAYS
By DR MILTON LUM
While the causes of gender identity disorders are still disputed, one thing is certain – these patients need care and compassion, rather than discrimination.
A PERSON’S sex is defined, at the time of birth or soon after, by an inspection of the external genital organs (or anatomical sex).
The term “gender identity” refers to the person’s feelings as to whether he or she is male or female. “Gender role” describes how people publicly express themselves in their clothing, appearance, conversation, body language and behaviour.
A person with gender identity disorder (GID) has a marked discordance between his or her anatomical sex and gender identity. The person has cross-gender identification, with a desire to live and be accepted as a member of the opposite sex. In short, one who is identified as a male may feel like and act like a female, and vice versa. The common descriptive terms used are effeminate men and “butch” women.
It is important to distinguish gender identity from sexual orientation – which is the sex that one is attracted to – such as heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual. The proportion of the latter in people with GID is not different from those who do not have GID.
Data from Europe reports that one in 30,000 adult males and one in 100,000 adult females seek sexual reassignment surgery due to GID. There is no published data on the prevalence of GID in Malaysia. However, Zulhizzam’s study of GID among male students in selected public institutions of higher learning in the Klang Valley provides some insight. Sixty-eight cases and 175 controls responded to self-administered questionnaires. Of the GID cases, 55 (80.9%) were Malays and 13 (19.1%) were non-Malays. Their characteristics included persistent cross gender roles in social or play activities (58 or 85.3%); spoke or attempted female speech (51 or 70.6%); displayed feminine-like body and limb movements (48 or 70.6%) and insisted on being treated or accepted as female (35 or 51.5%).
Some were disgusted with their own genitals and were willing to get rid of it (13 or 19.1%) and some had attempted to change their sexual characteristics by taking female hormones (13 or 19.1%). What is of concern is that high risk sexual behaviour was increased in GID cases (52.9%) as compared to controls (16.4%), with homosexuality, the most common sexual practice.
Causes
Although the causes of GID are still the subject of debate, there is evidence to suggest that the basis is neurobiological. Some believe that the physical and mental health of the affected person’s mother when pregnant plays a role in the genesis of GID. Others believe that there is an altered reaction between the foetal brain and the sex hormones in early pregnancy. Differences have also been found in the brains of male-to-female transsexuals.
GID has also been attributed to developmental problems in early childhood. Adults with GID have reported differences in child-rearing practices as compared to those without GID. Male-to-female transsexuals reported that their fathers were less warm, more rejecting, and controlled excessively. Female-to-male transsexuals reported that both parents were more rejecting and less emotionally warm, but their mothers were more overprotective.
GID is recognised as a medical problem. The various types of GID, according to the World Health Organisation classification are listed below.
Transsexualism is defined as “a desire to live and be accepted as a member of the opposite sex, usually accompanied by a sense of discomfort with, or inappropriateness of, one’s anatomic sex, and the wish to have surgery and hormonal treatment to make one’s body as congruent as possible with one’s preferred sex.”
Dual-role transvestism is defined as “the wearing of clothes of the opposite sex for part of the individual’s existence in order to enjoy the temporary experience of membership of the opposite sex, but without any desire for a more permanent sex change or associated surgical reassignment, and without sexual excitement accompanying the cross-dressing.”
Gender identity disorder of childhood is defined as “a disorder, usually first manifested during early childhood (and always well before puberty), characterised by a persistent and intense distress about assigned sex, together with a desire or insistence to be the other sex.
The diagnosis requires a profound disturbance of the normal gender identity; mere tomboyishness in girls or girlish behaviour in boys is not sufficient. Gender identity disorders in individuals who have reached or are entering puberty should not be classified here but as psychological and behavioural disorders associated with sexual development and orientation.”
The diagnosis of GID is complex as the phenomenon is not homogenous. The diagnostic criteria for GID (transsexualism) include strong and persistent cross-gender identification that extends beyond a desire for perceived advantages stated in the preceding paragraph.
GID in children is defined by four or more of the following characteristics: a desire to be the other sex; preference for cross-sex roles in play or preference for cross-dressing; persistent fantasies of being the other sex; intense desire to participate in stereotypical games and pastimes of the other sex; and strong preference for playmates of the other sex.
Boys loathe their penis or testes and rough play, believe their genitals will disappear, and reject male toys. Girls reject urinating in the sitting position, stress that they will grow a penis and do not want to grow breasts or menstruate, and dislike feminine clothes.
Adolescents and adults may experience the following: desire to be the other sex; frequent passing as the other sex; desire to live or be treated as the other sex; has the typical feelings and reactions of the opposite sex; and persistent discomfort with his or her sex or sense of inappropriateness in the gender role of that sex. Adolescents and adults may be preoccupied with getting rid of their sexual characteristics, and may believe that they were born with the wrong sex.
Treatment options
People with GID have significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other areas of functioning. There is a range of treatment options available, such as hormone therapy and sex reassignment surgery, for which the patient will be given counselling. Psychotherapy is essential as it will help in decisions about progression to hormone and surgical therapy.
Sex reassignment surgery (SRS) may be considered when the doctors supervising treatment are convinced of compliance with strict eligibility criteria. The surgical procedures for female-to-male SRS include removing breasts, the uterus and ovaries, and the construction of a penis and scrotum.
The surgical procedures for male-to-female SRS are removal of the penis and testes, construction of a vagina, breast augmentation, reshaping of the nose and throat and facial remodelling.
Not everyone requires or is suited for SRS. The factors contri buting to satisfaction include young age, strong family and social support, and successful surgery.
There is considerable social stigma attached to GID. This is sad as those affected need multi-disciplinary medical assistance. Society needs to be less judgmental and more caring and compassionate. This will go a long way in helping those who are in a situation that is not of their making.

Seks Di Bilik Bedah
Seorang wanita berusia 24 tahun mendakwa dalam sebuah lamanweb bahawa dia melakukan hubungan seks dalam bilik bedah di sebuah hospital di Singapura.
A 24-YEAR-OLD woman claimed on a website that she had sex in an operation theatre at a hospital in Singapore, reported Sin Chew Daily.
The woman, who posted a photograph of herself wearing a nurse uniform and a mask, claimed that she had a “good time” with her fiancée while serving as a nurse in the hospital’s emergency ward.
She also claimed that her fiancée is a medical doctor who worked in the same hospital.
The woman said she hoped to try out “the stuff” at other places.
“I have tried out at my workplace. Now, I will attempt to do it in a school or even on a flight,” the newspaper quoted her as saying on the website.
When contacted, a hospital spokesman denied that the woman had worked there.

Crossdresser Merompak?
Siang Cikgu Malam Melacur
Masih Ramai Yang Tidak Sedar
KUALA TERENGGANU - Kisah ‘cinta’ palsu di laman sembang siber yang berakhir dengan penipuan kini timbul lagi dengan mangsa terbaru seorang pengurus wanita berusia 43 tahun.
Mengikut cerita mangsa yang berasal dari Kemaman, dia berkenalan dengan seorang lelaki yang didakwa warga asing pada 2 November lalu.
Suspek yang dikatakan pandai menggunakan kata-kata manis, berjaya memikat hati mangsa untuk membayar RM2,500 semata-mata bagi mendapatkan barangan mewah seperti barang kemas, beg kulit berjenama, komputer riba dan wang tunai AS 5,000.
Namun mangsa itu tidak mengambil iktibar daripada laporan Kosmo! pada 9 Oktober lalu mengenai tiga wanita, juga dari negeri ini, mendakwa kerugian melebihi RM25,000 menerusi taktik penipuan dengan modus operandi yang sama.

Parti Gay Diserbu
Berita selanjutnya
GEORGE TOWN, Malaysia: Police broke up four gay parties and nabbed 70 people, some of whom were literally caught with their pants down. Those detained included locals, Americans, Europeans and a Chinese national.
Police, in a blitz to weed out vice activities here and in Seberang Jaya on Saturday, stumbled upon the parties specially organised for the men.
In the three-hour raids that started at 5.30pm, police stormed into a traditional massage parlour and a fitness centre in Midlands Park and two other fitness centres in Seberang Jaya.
The raiding party seized used condoms, pornography DVDs, gay magazines, lubrication jelly and boxes of condoms found in the four premises.
Police said the organisers had used legitimate businesses as their front to conduct the illicit activities to hoodwink the authorities.
George Town Deputy OCPD Supt Gan Kong Meng said they arrested 29 men, including a Chinese national, at the massage parlour and fitness centre here during the 8.30pm raid.
Many of them were found naked when police walked into the joints, he said.
The men, aged between 20 and 40, were arrested and questioned at the state police headquarters in Penang Road and were later released on bail, he added.
"Those caught will be charged with gross indecency," said Supt Gan, adding that police had raided the massage parlour and fitness centre five times in the past.
In Seberang Jaya, the police conducted the raid following public tip-offs and caught 41 suspects, including the Westerners.
The suspects were taken to the Seberang Jaya district police headquarters and had their statements recorded before being released on police bail.
Police are also looking for the owners of the two premises to prosecute them for allowing their premises to be used as vice dens.

Puppet Doll
Ambil upah layan naluri mak nyah
Oleh Mohd Firdaus Ibrahim
ALOR STAR: ‘Puppet Doll’ atau ‘shuban’. Itulah gelaran diberikan golongan homoseksual atau mak nyah kepada lelaki kacak yang menyediakan perkhidmatan layanan ‘khas’ kepada mereka.
Difahamkan, Puppet Doll atau budak patung akan menjadi pengiring kepada golongan mak nyah berkenaan untuk menemani mereka sepanjang malam.
Malah, ada antara Puppet Doll turut bersedia untuk menemani ‘kaki homoseksual’ itu sehingga ke ranjang semata-mata akibat gelap mata kerana mampu mendapatkan habuan wang ringgit setiap bulan.
Lebih menjengkilkan, segelintir daripada mereka juga sanggup menjadi ‘kekasih’ kepada mak nyah terbabit dan dikatakan perlu melayani nafsu buas golongan itu sepanjang malam.
Perkara itu didedahkan seorang pelajar tahun akhir sebuah institusi pengajian tinggi (IPT) dikenali sebagai Fauzi, 20-an, yang bergelumang dalam dunia berkenaan sejak setahun lalu.
Fauzi berkata, segalanya bermula apabila dia diperkenalkan oleh seorang rakannya kepada seorang mak nyah yang dikenali sebagai Nisa berusia lingkungan 30-an.
“Pada awalnya, saya hanya menyediakan perkhidmatan menemani mereka untuk keluar minum dan menghabiskan masa pada sebelah malam. Namun, selepas beberapa minggu mengenalinya, Nisa menawarkan pekerjaan kepada saya dan menjanjikan pulangan lumayan.
“Dia tawarkan menjadi kekasihnya dan tugas saya hanyalah menemaninya dan melayani kerenahnya terutamanya pada hari minggu. Nisa menjanjikan gaji tetap RM2,000 sebulan, sebuah kereta dan telefon bimbit sekiranya saya bersetuju.
“Bagaimanapun, pada mulanya saya menolak pelawaannya dengan baik dan Nisa pula menerima keputusan berkenaan dengan hati terbuka,” katanya ketika ditemui, di sini, semalam.
Menurutnya, selepas dua bulan mengenali dan menemani Nisa, dia kemudiannya bersetuju menjadi kekasih kepada mak nyah berkenaan.
“Semua ini disebabkan masalah kewangan bagi meneruskan pengajian. Kalau nak diharapkan bayaran perkhidmatan menemaninya memang tidak cukup. Setiap kali keluar, dia hanya bayar RM150 hingga RM200 atau belanja makan saja.
“Lagipun, saya bukanlah daripada keluarga berada. Nak sambung belajar dulu pun, bapa saya terpaksa berhutang sana sini,” katanya.
Fauzi berkata, disebabkan keinginannya mahu meringankan bebanan yang ditanggung keluarga di samping memiliki kehidupan lebih bergaya dan mewah, maka dia sanggup menggadaikan maruah diri bagi melayani nafsu buas Nisa.
“Nisa adalah seorang mak nyah bernafsu binatang. Dia seolah-olah tidak puas dengan apa yang saya lakukan dan ada kalanya dia bertindak cukup ganas. Saya cukup terseksa dengan perbuatannya itu.
“Pada permulaannya memang jijik dan menyeksakan tetapi lama-kelamaan bertukar menjadi seronok. Hanya disebabkan khabar angin mengatakan Nisa menghidapi sindrom kurang daya tahan penyakit (Aids), maka saya meninggalkannya kerana bimbang dijangkiti.
“Selama menjadi kekasihnya, hidup saya cukup mewah dan apa saja yang dikehendaki semuanya mampu dimiliki,” katanya.
Sementara itu, Mufti Selangor, Datuk Seri Mohd Tamyes Abd Wahib, ketika dihubungi, berkata perkara seumpama itu perlu dibendung serta-merta kerana ia bertentangan dengan tatasusila masyarakat dan ajaran agama.
“Perkara ini mesti dipandang serius semua pihak. Antaranya keluarga, masyarakat dan pihak berkuasa kerana ia akan merosakkan moral golongan muda yang bakal menjadi pemangkin kepada pembangunan negara pada masa depan,” katanya.
Menurutnya, masalah kewangan bukanlah alasan sehingga menyebabkan mereka terjebak ke dalam lembah maksiat.
“Niat tidak akan menghalalkan cara. Lebih banyak pekerjaan yang baik dan halal boleh dilakukan dalam negara ini. Lagipun, setiap pelajar diberikan pinjaman Perbadanan Tabung Pengajian Tinggi Nasional (PTPTN) dan alasan yang diberikan sememangnya tidak masuk akal,” katanya.

Why do men take second wives?
A WRITER'S LIFE
By DINA ZAMAN
Polygamy has nothing to do with culture or religion. Men, and women too, cheat because they can.
WHEN a male friend told me he planned on taking a second wife, all I could do was try not to choke on dinner. Are you serious, I asked. He said yes, he had fallen in love with a single mother, but it was not his fate to marry her.
Thinking it was perhaps due her compassion, her earnest desire to bring up her sprogs in a Godly way and that life was indeed a struggle, I choked on my dessert when my friend told me the first thing he noticed about her was that she owned a great set of jugs. (Hmmm...mak rasa tetek lah kot)
Now, my friend takes his religious obligations very seriously. His first wife wears the hijab. So to hear him admit that it was his paramour’s cleavage that caught his heart was quite shocking.
It was due to women like me, whose so-called Western, secular and feminist ideas of polygamy that pushed it underground. I then asked him, whether his equally-pious wife agreed to him taking on another wife, and he said no. She gave him an earful.
But our friend was on a roll. Now that his journey into polygamy was thwarted, it was all our fault. We modern Malay women, be they religious or not, were forcing men like him to marry in Thailand or Iran, where they practised nikah Muta’ah.
He was emulating the steps of our good Prophet Mohamed, he argued.
“You have got your Islamic history upside down! Nabi married war widows, and his first wife was older than he. Aishah was the youngest. And I don’t think our Prophet married any woman because she had great breasts!”
“You don’t understand.”
“Okay then. Why don’t you sell your car and take a camel to work then?”
I’m realistic. I know men who adore their wives and love them to bits, but they can still love their mistresses and other wives. Am I condoning affairs and polygamy? No. But this happens. It has nothing to do with Islam or being Malay, though polygamy is part of the culture.
We’re Asians. We have a long history of concubinage. There are good men who are faithful, and there are good men who have other wives. There are also bad men who are faithful and also bad men who are unfaithful.
Just like our politics, love in Malaysia is a circus. Weeee!
I’m not going to bore you with what polygamy in Islam is about, as it has been written before and talked about to death. Women’s rights activists have long fought for this “crime” to be illegal, but we face a tough fight. Sometimes it’s not the men who are itching for it, but yes, our gender, too.
In the 80s, when I was young and clueless, meeting mistresses and second or third wives would be sinful and against my principles.
These days? “Oh, you’re a mistress?” “Oh, you’re a hidden wife?” Yawn. Wear tudung or mini skirt, got. Educated or stupid, got. Some of our mothers are The Other Women, and are good mothers. So how?
Is this phenomenon particular to our culture? Oh no. Read the British newspapers. Mistressing is talked about to death in feminist columns.
But I thought after that dinner with my friend, I’d revisit the issue again. Some of the findings from my five-sen survey:
> Theoretically ... polygamy is OK. But must ikut hukum Allah lah. There are conditions.
> Ya, but… actually, kan, for career women like us, it does work. Nak jaga laki 24 jam … gue tak larat la. Biar bini nombor satu jaga. After all, in Islam, polygamous wives are taken care of legally. Better a Muslim second wife than a common law wife.
> But really. Think about it. Convenient, what. You see him once a week, makan once a week, have sex once a week...
> Sex once a week?! Baik tak yah jadi bini nombor dua macam tu! Chit. Once a week mana cukup?!
Why do men cheat? Again, just an observation dwelled upon by friends and myself. For a lot of polygamous men, they marry good women who fit their criteria of holiness, wifeliness and motherhood.
Intimacy between the men and their wives are perfunctory. It’s make-the-baby-cover-the-face sex. With their girlfriends and second wives, it’s Penthouse all the way, baby. It’s the soul thing.
At least this is what I got from talking to quite a number of married men. It’s not because of the first wives’ lack of trying; they want to have healthy intimate lives, but the bees in their husbands’s bonnets keep reminding the men of the Madonna-Whore syndrome.
Malaysia is not a place for single women desiring Hollywood-movie type of marriages and love. KL especially is a city for marriages and affairs. And it has nothing to do with money. There are rich men who cheat, and I know of a despatch boy who has two wives!
There are many single-again women like my friends and I, who still believe in marriage and love. But I can tell you, should we walk down that path again one day, we’re going down it with our eyes open and keep a part of our hearts to ourselves. Because you never know.
Perhaps my friend, an activist who makes a living entering and staying in war zones, is right.
“We have women like you, me, your mother, your aunt and friend who fight so hard for women and children and yet face a brick wall, simply because we ‘understand’ so much, and forgive all the time, which is why cheating, affairs and polygamy are rampant, to the detriment or contribution (depends how you look at it) of our well-being,” says my friend.
Another friend, Sharizal Sharaani, put it succinctly: “Men (and, yes, women too) cheat because they can. Full stop.”

Time To Engage Maknyah
Time to engage Mak Nyah
A WRITER'S LIFE BY DINA ZAMAN
The Mak Nyah community wants to be part of society and to be accepted as they are. This calls for heart-to-heart engagement and not enforcement.
A TRANSSEXUAL asked: “Since Islam rejects people like me, may I leave Islam?”
“Now I know you are really crazy! You’re already in trouble with the authorities, you want to court more trouble?” her colleague interjected.
“I don’t see what the problem is. You, and I, and everyone here are subject to harassment all the time, and constantly reminded that we are an abhorrent to the faith. So why be part of a religion that rejects you?”
This particular dilemma was discussed at an audit I undertook as part of an HIV/AIDS project recently.
The audit was conducted to identify gaps in outreach work in HIV/AIDS in Malaysia, and the discussion with transsexuals, who make up a good number of marginalised communities (the others are injecting drug users, gay men and sex workers), was illuminating to say the least.
A transsexual identifies 'herself' as – or desires to live and be accepted as – a member of the sex opposite to that assigned at birth.
In Malaysia, derogatory slang to describe them would be pondans, laki lembut or mak nyah, though the latter term has been embraced by the community as an identifying factor in their cause.
The public perception of transsexuals ranges from contempt and revilement to resigned acceptance.
The fact is, transsexuals have existed in our society even before Independence, and played a significant role in the community.
They’re the dapur pondans – kitchen helpers – who worked for families as cooks and cleaners in a long gone era, and in villages were known as meks, who acted as the local tailor, make-up artist and wedding planner.
It is fascinating to compare the fond memories of the older generation of Malaysians who grew up with transsexuals as neighbours and domestic help.
The argument that is bandied in contemporary Malaysia is that they knew their place, and were not ‘out there’ now as transsexuals who – as moralists have argued – contribute to moral decay.
From a religious standpoint, transsexualism is forbidden. Islam permits hermaphrodites to undergo sex change operations so the person can choose to be either a female or male.
Forbidden are mukhannis – men who behave like women and dress like them, and even undergoing sex change surgery to become women.
Non-Muslim transsexuals fare slightly better than their Muslim counterparts, as there is no official ruling as with the Muslims, even though their religions also forbid such actions. If caught, they would be charged for cross dressing and indecent behaviour under Section 21 of the Minor Offences Act 1955.
A Muslim man caught cross dressing can be charged under Section 28, Syariah Criminal Offences (FT) Act 1997, for immoral behaviour, and is liable to a fine not exceeding RM1,000 or to imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both.
The biggest grouse that rose out of the discussion was how they were portrayed on television shows by male personalities. Camped up, and in the words of a TS “? crude and lascivious ?” Not all transsexuals are involved in sex work, are campy, crass and uneducated.
“Why are we made the receiving end of jokes?” a transsexual asked. “The authorities tell us that what we do is bad ? as we are men, and should behave like men.
“And on television you have male actors dressed in drag, and playing it up to the hilt. And the language used! This makes us look bad.
“It doesn’t help when a few TS also play up to the myth by being loud and crass.”
Also noted was how the media approached the subject of transsexuals and transgender. The Malay media would be rather patronising, which does not help the cause. The English media sit on the fence, while the Chinese press is more open and sympathetic.
What transsexuals want is for them and the media to work together to highlight the social and health issues they face, so that they can do more effective advocacy work with government and religious authorities.
The reason a number of TS are involved in sex work is because they do not have a source of income.
With the market already so saturated by wedding planners of various sexualities (not all transsexuals want a career in fashion and cosmetics), and in ‘proper’ professional institutions their very presence clashes with the image of the organisation, where are they to go, and what are they to do?
B who comes from a well-to-do and supportive Malay family, thinks the problems could be solved if transsexuals themselves do not engage in “improper behaviour”.
She is one of the very few transsexuals who keep away from the Mak Nyah community. She considers herself well educated and proper, and does not indulge in clubbing and other activities that transsexuals involve themselves in, as she believes all these negate their cause.
When asked if she would consider mentoring, as she would be considered a ‘successful transgender’ who has assimilated well in society, she declined.
The issue of class and economic status is too jarring, and there would be resentment.
“It’s how you carry yourself, that makes people respect you. I know people think I’m a snob, but I could never let down my family.”
She practises safe sex, dates ‘proper men’ and not “sell her body”. She has no contact with her ‘sisters’ from Chow Kit and from the less stellar parts of Kuala Lumpur.
All is not lost. Already there are success stories: at PT Foundation, a weekly fardhu ain class is held for TS, sex workers and people in the community, so they can learn more about Islam.
More transsexuals are claiming their rights and are empowered. What the authorities, the medical community, human rights activists and the TS community should do is to keep on engaging with each other on TS issues.

Sembang Dengan Prostitute Di Sibu
Mak terus jalan and then at one corner mak nampak the women that came into my room the night before. Memanglah dia cam mak so mak pun tegurlah dia. Then we all bersembang kat teli kaki lima itu. So anybody yang nampak mak kat situ sudah pasti akan menyangka mak sedang tawar menawar untuk mendapatkan pekhidmatan seks dari this women. Tapi mak tak kisahlah sebab kat Sibu ni mak rasa tak ada orang yang kenal dengan mak. So mak don't care about it.
Mak banyak korek juga tentang rahsia dirinya. Rupanya dia menjadi prostitute tu kerana nak memberi makan kepada keluarganya. Dia sudah bercerai dengan suaminya dan kini single mum. Single mum? Hmm.....nak katakan single mum pun mak rasa not very accurate la. Anak tunggalnya sudah pun besar dan sudah berumahtangga tetapi bercerai juga. Kahwin dengan orang kampu sendiri tanpa pengetahaunnya. Setelah berkahwin baru tahu dia dah kahwin. Bukan orang lain, sanak saudara juga.
This women yang sembang dengan mak mengaku yang dia kahwin sewaktu dia berusia 14 tahun, drop out from school. No wonderlah anak sudah besar dan dia sudah ada cucu. Kini anaknya sedang menjalani praktikal sebagai jururawat di Kota Kinabalu.
Mak tanya sama ada anak dia tahu yang maknya jadi pelacur dan dia jawab ya. Tetapi anaknya tak menegah pula. Itulah nasib wanita. Macam maknyah juga. Many kena jual diri di lorong disebabkan masyarakat menolak mereka. Masyarakat juga yang pandai menghukum dengan enggan memberikan mereka kesempatan untuk bekerja secara terhormat. Dek kerana nak hidup terpaksa menjual tubuh. Masyarakat hanya pandai mengutuk kan uols? Tetapi tidak berusaha untuk memperbaiki keadaan. Mak sedar maknyah ni jadi maknyah bukan atas kehendak mereka. Maybe somelah . OKlah, uols. Bateri laptop mak ni pun dah nak kong dah. Mak post ni dari airport Sibu, tunggu flight nak balik KL.

Urut Bathin Kat Sibu
Mak masuk dan memberitahu nak massage. So one this Chinese lady terus bawa mak naik ke tingkat atas. Terdapat massage rooms lah uols yang ada satu katil massage. Bilik tu ditutupi hanya dengan tabir saja. Masuk ke dalam Chinese women tu pun suruh mak strip. Mak tak kisah nak strip depan dia. Mak buka habis dan tak balut lagi tuubuh mak dengan towel seperti biasa. Lagipun dia tak bagi pun towel kat mak. So mak buka semua dan dalam keadaan naked itu mak naik dan baring atas massage table tu. Lady tu pun mula mengurut belakang mak, as usual la concentrate from shoulder ke ass cheek. Pastu barulah turun ke kaki. Masa masaj kat paha tulah sedapnya bila jarinya sekali-sekali tersentuh the balls.
Then dia suruh mak terlentang. So now mak baring terlentang totally naked. Bagi mak berada dalam keadaan begitu in front of masseur dah biasa dah. Tak kisahlah masseur lelaki ke masseur pompuan. Maknyah pun inclded sebab dulu mak pernah dapat service massage from one maknyah bernama Lea kat Wangsa Maju. Mula dia masaj kawasan dada mak. Then apabila dia mula masaj paha mak dan a few times tangannya tersentuh cikdicky mak, tangan mak pun mulalah nak menggatal. Masseur tu pula pakai mini skirt so mudahlah tangan mak menggatal. Mak raba-raba. Whe wear a red panty. Jari mak pun sampailah ke kawasan p**** dia. Dia pula tak menegah so apa lagi jari mak pun berlegar-legarlah di situ. Takyahla mak cerita in details ye....nanti jadi cerita porn pula.
Habis massage dia tanya mak nak urut bathin tak. Oleh kerana mak pun dah quite high masa tu, mak pun setuju. Dia kata kena charge RM50 untuk satu sesi. Biasanya kalau gi massage bila kata urut bathin ni bermaksud masturbate. Tukang urut akan mainkan cik dicky seketika dan terus goncang hingga ceritttttsssss....... Tapi this masseur memang bagi urut betul-betul. Pressure dia pun taklah kuat sangat. Bermaksud dia tahu yang urat-urat kawasan itu lembut. So dia lakukan dengan berhati-hati. Tangan dan jari dia berubah antara kawasan celah kangkang mak di bawah the balls dan pada shaft. Walaupun caranya macam nak masturbate tetapi mak dapat rasakan dia bukan nak masturbate mak. Mak dapat bertahan hampir 20 minit juga bila dia buat macam tu. Maybe kerana mak dah terceritttsssss tengahari tadi, maka kali ni mak dapat bertahan. But at last mak terlepas juga. Mak cerittsssss juga.
Walaupun dah ceritss.....masseur tu tidak berhenti. Dia terus massage cik dicky mak dan dari masa mak cerittsssss tu , dia melakukan masaj hampir setengah jam lagi. Biasanya kalau servis urut bathin tu bila customer dah ceritsssss..... dia akan kesatkan dan sesi akan tamat serta merta. Memang mak puas hati denan servisnya malam itu walaupun tidak melibatkan hubungan seks.
