Ever felt like you needed to prove your hero status in front of your partner?
Well, a Malaysian man might just have the solution for you. Meet Shazali Sulaiman, a 28-year-old entrepreneur who has turned an unusual idea into a business: offering a “villain for hire” service.
Picture this—Sulaiman rents himself out as a staged troublemaker, allowing clients to play the hero in front of their romantic interests. With his long hair, biker clothes, and rough look, Sulaiman often gets mistaken for a gang member, and he’s using this to his advantage by creating situations where his clients can “save” their partners.
For just 100 ringgit ($22) on weekdays, or 150 ringgits on weekends, Sulaiman will “harass” your partner in a public place, giving you the chance to step in and be the one who saves the day. Think of it like a WWE-style staged confrontation where the only thing getting hurt is your villainous ego.
While some people are applauding this entrepreneurial flair, others are raising eyebrows, questioning whether this crosses a line. Sulaiman insists it’s all in good fun—no harm, just some playful drama to boost your hero game!
