Don’t Have a BF/GF to Take to Your CNY Family Reunion? These Good Lookers Are Up for Rent!

Chinese New Year is just a few days away and everyone is either eagerly anticipating to pig out and eat the delectable spread that comes every once a year, or too focused on calculating how much angpow collection they’ll make this year. For us singletons who have reached their mid-20s or beyond, Chinese New Year gatherings can be a mix between somewhat enjoyable and daunting.

Annoying questions from nosy relatives ranging from “When will you get married?” to “How much do you earn per month?” start raining in the moment they see you. Oh, how you wish you were 10 years younger so that all they can ask is “How are you doing in school?” Well, fret not, because some prihatin Malaysians actually stepped up to offer a boyfriend rental service!
Yesterday, local brand, Pestle Mortar Clothing uploaded a whole album or catalogue of its staff members, who are ready to be rented out for those awkward reunions. Their Rent-A-Date rates are quite reasonable ranging from RM88/hour for 10am – 5pm to RM169 for 6pm – 9pm. They’re even quite flexible – you can rent them beyond 9pm although that is with the discretion of the model.
Out of the 22 candidates listed, one stood out the most. It’s 22-year-old self-proclaimed Zayn Malik/Dev Patel look alike, Harish Pal Singh. His profile has over 100 likes and over 20 interested suitors! One guy even jokingly commented “(RM)100,000 for this lad.”
