Shazali Sulaiman, 28, comes from Ipoh, a city in the country’s northwest.

On January 8, he took to social media to promote his service, claiming he could help clients demonstrate their masculinity and make a lasting impression on their partners.

Sulaiman wrote: “Are you tired of your partner thinking you are weak? For a reasonable fee, I can help you prove them wrong.”

He added that clients just had to provide the time and place, and he would show up to “harass” their partner, giving them a chance to take him down.
