Malaysian cendol seller proud of what he does to care for his family
In a world of thieves, murderers and people with general ill intent walking among us, the cendol man, like the ice-cream man, represents that which is wholesome and good. Basulul Rahman Ahmad Basheer wasn't born with a silver spoon in hand - like most cendol sellers. However, the 43-year-old basks in the glory of serving and does so with pride - his was not a job by default. "I'm not shy to do this … doing this I don't need to resort to stealing or lying to make a living," said the genial Ipoh-ite.
