“I didn’t want to be just another petai seller. So, I came up with the idea to wear a Spider-Man suit to attract customers.”
PETALING JAYA, Aug 26 — It isn’t every day that you see Spider-Man standing at the side of the road peddling petai.
“I started selling petai two months ago. My grandfather used to sell petai but no one in the family took over the business from him. I thought, why not give it a try?” said Selvakumar. Selvakumar also told Astro Ulagam that many passersby are often intrigued by the sight of him and will stop to take a picture, before ending up buying a bunch of his petai, priced at RM10.
While the journey may be a long one, Selvakumar said that his petai business is doing and that his income has been enough to take care of himself and his grandmother . “I want to be a policeman someday. It is something I have wanted for as long as I can remember,” he said to SJ Echo.
