Va-va-vroom rider a hit with the ladies

HE’S dashing in both senses of the word – a food delivery rider has captured the attention of his female customers, with some of them sending him direct messages, Harian Metro reported.

“They would send me private messages asking about food orders and making various requests. It’s as if I’m their partner. Their behaviour is amusing,” said Muhammad Syahmi Abni Hajar, who is based in Kuala Lumpur.

Such attention does not unsettle him as long as the customers know the limit of their behaviour, he said.

Sometimes, he said food vendors from whom he picked up the orders would flirt with him and he felt rather embarrassed by the attention. It has been a year since he became a p-hailing rider.

> Entrepreneur Datuk Seri Vida said she’s proud of her daughter’s financial acumen, Utusan Malaysia reported.

She said her 18-year-old daughter, whose nickname is Cik B, had been good at managing her own money since she was a child.

“Many people know about Cik B’s ‘salmon skin salted eggs’.

“The business is doing very well,” Vida said.

Cik B previously gained public attention when she shared about the amount of money in her bank account. Apparently, she spent about RM1mil in July and her expenditure last month came up to about RM23,000.

“She spends on what she wants and buys what she likes, and I don’t stop her because I know that what she buys are investments,” said Vida, who, as a mother, said she hoped her daughter and son would become successful entrepreneurs.
