EVERYTHING is for sale and all prices are negotiable at the Lorong Kulit flea market in George Town, Penang. Just do not ask where the goods come from.

It is also not a state secret that if your shoes went missing, you might find them in Lorong Kulit.

For retired human resources manager Nanda Gopal Naidu, 64, that turned out to be true.

In the 1990s, Nanda Gopal’s favourite track shoes were stolen from outside his house and his colleague gave him the usual “go look for it in Lorong Kulit” response.
