Meet the belle of Selangor wholesale market


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Above the din and bustle of the Selangor wholesale market in Seri Kembangan, one woman stands out. Dressed stylishly in a black hijab and matching long top, short cardigan and long pants and sporting a pair of trendy earrings and boots, she seems a little out of place there.

But traders and regulars at the market know that Nurul Ain Alias, 36, is more than mere eye candy. For the past year, this mother-of-four has been operating a fish stall at the market - the only woman among the dozens of fishmongers there - and her skill at gutting and scaling the fish, no matter their size, leaves everyone amazed.
