Just look at his diet<\/a><\/strong> :<\/p>\n

He does not take any special food. But he eats five eggs and cereals for breakfast, a whole pot of chilli chicken for lunch and drinks mugs of energy beverage,<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That’s not like any normal pre-school boy I know.<\/p>\n

Six-year-old T. Santhosperumal looks like any normal pre-school boy.<\/p>\n

But looks can be deceiving \u2014 this lad\u2019s tough one. He became the youngest person to pull a car for a distance of 120m yesterday.<\/p>\n

Santhos 10 as he wants to be known, a name he borrowed from his favourite cartoon character Ben 10, pulled a Mercedez Benz 240E carrying four adults and weighing a total of 1,670kg using a simple harness belt tied to his waist.<\/p>\n

He effortlessly pulled the car on a cement tarmac at his father\u2019s working place in Kampung Jawa here, to the cheers of many.<\/p>\n

His father N. Thiagu, 42, said the Malaysian Book of Records would include Santhos as the youngest Malaysian to pull a car.<\/p>\n

\u201cSanthos is a very determined boy. If he sets his mind on pulling a car, he will do it. In fact he began driving a Kancil car at the age of four. A month later, he started to drive a forklift in the work area we owned,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Thiagu added that Santhos could also drive a three-tonne lorry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had wanted to record the driving feat in the MBR but it was rejected as he is a minor. But that did not deter Santhos. On Nov 5, he made attempts to pull a Kancil car before trying to pull a Mercedez,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

His mother, M. Chelvee, 42, said her son would do some warming-up exercises which include stretching and breathing before each attempt to pull a car.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe does not take any special food. But he eats five eggs and cereals for breakfast, a whole pot of chilli chicken for lunch and drinks mugs of energy beverage,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The shy Santhos said he admired Ben 10 and believed that he could bring forth his hidden strength just like his favourite cartoon character.<\/p>\n

\u201cNext, if AirAsia allows me to, I might try to pull a plane,\u201d he said with a smile.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
