PASIR GUDANG: Getting a haircut in a barbershop may be a usual affair for most children but nine-year-old Mohd Iqbal Farhan Hisham sees it as a privilege, as he has to save money to pay for one.

While most would also be able to afford getting a trendy haircut just before Hari Raya, the SK Taman Rinting pupil has to save his duit raya to visit the barber.
