Five years ago, barber Kalitasan Selvoturai, 36, earned two spots in the Malaysia Book Of Records (MBR) – for "Most Haircuts (144 haircuts) in 24 Hours by an Individual", and "Longest Non-Stop Haircuts Relay By A Group in 72 Hours".

From Aug 22-26, he will be attempting another MBR record where he plans to give free haircuts for 96 hours.
