| Aspect | Explanation | |--------|-------------| | | “Mat rempit” are informal groups of motor‑bike enthusiasts, many of whom engage in illegal street racing, stunting, and other anti‑social behaviours. Some members have been linked to violent crimes, including sexual assault. | | Who are the victims? | Victims are usually women or girls who encounter these groups in public spaces (parks, streets, night markets, or near the riders’ gathering spots). The attacks can be isolated or involve multiple perpetrators. | | Why does it happen? | Factors include a culture of machismo, peer pressure within the gang, lack of accountability, and the perception that victims are “easy targets” when alone or in poorly lit areas. | | Legal status | Rape and sexual assault are criminal offences under the Penal Code (Malaysia) and the Criminal Code (Indonesia). The law treats any non‑consensual sexual act as a serious crime, regardless of the perpetrator’s background. |
