與油條的情緣…

13歲與油條結下不解之緣：

他的人生道路曲曲折折，出現高峰也經歷過低潮，但這20多年來他從來沒有喊過怕過，更不曾退縮過。

由於家庭環境不好，加上父母常不在家，13歲的他就已開始肩負起當家的責任，並懂得賺錢養家，以照顧婆婆及弟妹的起居飲食。求學的日子裡，他大部份時間都在打工，曾做過無數的工作，撿瓶子、洗醬油瓶、報攤等等。

在一個機緣巧合之下，他找到一份對當時的他而言，極不錯的工作，就是在甲洞宜信園巴剎油條檔口當助手，平日每天可賺取兩令吉，周末則有四令吉。

為了賺取更多家用，他每天起個大早，從清晨5時至早上10時到檔口工作。由於家庭經濟再次出現狀況，在沒辦法之下，他14歲就被逼輟學，從此全心投入油條這一行業。接下來的兩年裡，他常在甲洞和SS2兩邊跑，虛心向老板學習，並認定油條是自己唯一出路。

至16歲那年，他終於存夠兩百令吉的資本，決定自己開檔當老板，並買了生平第一個檔口──手推車。這手推車不是新的，非常殘舊，但經過粉飾後，它變得一輛“還不錯”的賺錢工具。每天，他從SS2推車到17區，雖然很辛苦，卻也很開心。

但沒想到生意的開始，就吃了不少苦頭，新出爐的油條，味道實在難以下嚥，不過，不言敗的他仍繼續不斷嘗試，整整一年的時間，他終於掌握做油條的秘訣，並獲得不少人的肯定，還吸引很多名人及高官顯要前來光顧，有者更要求特別包裝，以便能帶出國給友人品嚐。

他終於熬出頭！曾有最高記錄，一個小時內賣400件油條，數量驚人！ 曾經，《中國報》2001年2 月3日的報導中，還提及他的油條

然而，因為家裡環境的需要，他選擇在高峰期退到幕後，由弟妹接管生意，自己則從事另外一個行業，
不過，在他心裡仍有一個夢想──製作多樣化的油條。

10多年後，他終於鼓起勇氣，重拾過去的夢想，並研發了多種口味的油條及餡煎餅，分別有藥材、蓮蓉、班蘭、巧克力等等，誓要與眾不同，並且不會使用回鍋油，每炸300件就換油，以便讓人買得開心，吃得安心。

Teen’s future engaged with oil-sticks.st agead a come back with more varieties.
He has faced the ups and downs in life, yet for the past twenty years he has never complained nor gave in.He was not born into a wealthy family. With the absence of his parents at home, it has left him no choice but to bear the great responsibility as a home maker at the age of thirteen, caring for a grandma and a number of siblings. He has been earning even during school days by collecting waste bottles, washing up soya source bottles and helping in news-stand.One day out of the blue, he got himself a part-time work, which he thought “was a good deal” then. He worked as an assistant to an oil-stick seller in Taman Yi Shin at Kepong, earning RM2 a day, and an extra RM2 on weekends. Since then, he used to wake up early and work from 5 to 10 in the morning in order to earn more money to support the family. Eventually he has to forgo his studies at the age of 14 in exchange for a full time commitment to his oil-stick selling. Two years down the road, he was running from Kepong to SS2 helping his boss. Without a doubt he has determined to engage his future with oil-stick. At 16, with a capital of RM200, he bought his first trolley and set up his own oil-stick stall, running his own business. This trolley was not new, quite worn out in fact, but with careful make-over, it turned out to be a useful tool. He and his trolley has been mobilizing from SS2 to Section 17, witnessing those days of hardship and joyful moments.It has not been easy from the start. The product has been criticized, but that did not kill his spirit. After another year of trying, he finally mastered the skills and eventually getting compliments from customers of all walks of life. Many even ordered to pack for overseas delivery.The China Press has a write up on his oil-stick (dated 3-2-2001), introducing the story behind his success. He has achieved a highest record of selling 400 sticks in an hour!。Due to family matters, at the peak of his oil-stick career, he chose to hand over the business to his siblings and started venturing on a totally new line. Down in his heart, there is a dream, a dream of producing more varieties of oil-sticks to meet the demand of the public.10 years later, he made a come-back! This time with many different flavors such as herbs, lotus, pandan, chocolate and so on. Stated “no recycle oil”, he claimed of safe and healthy consumption by using new oil after every 300 sticks fried. Check him out on a mobile van at Bandar Puteri, Puchong.
