The Story Of Mul The Tissue Seller In Makassar

MAKASSAR - Mul walked fast, rushing from his house in Mariso, Makassar, South Sulawesi (Sulsel). After 12 noon, this elementary school student started selling his tissue.

Incidentally, the traffic on Jalan Dr Ratulangi, Makassar, is quite congested during the day. Mul handed his wares to every motorist who passed.

This 12 year old boy brought some lunch towels from home. Hope there are motorists who buy the merchandise.

Mul admitted that he only started selling at noon. Because he must follow online learning.

"The ticket, taken from someone who is helped to sell, usually (gets) Rp. 20 thousand," said Mul to VOI, Thursday, March 4.

Nobody told Mul to sell tissue. This boy only wants to help his mother at home and at the same time find pocket money from tissue which is valued at Rp. 5,000.

Usually Mul returns home after 22.00 WITA. When the tissue is sold out, Mul shares the merchandise with his mother.

"I often sell tissue during the afternoon prayers, until the evening hours 22.00-23.00 WITA," he said.
