Mural pays tribute to the warmth of the ‘Roti Man’

Well-bread people: Wong eating kaya bread bought from Munyadi in front of the ‘Roti Kumar’ mural here in Pekan Kongsi.

BALIK PULAU: In the early 1990s, there was a small boy who loved to scrawl on the ground, even as Pekan Kongsi’s “resident” bread seller, Munyadi Letchumanan, did his rounds on his two-wheeler.

Never in Munyadi’s wildest dreams did he imagine that the boy would one day paint a massive mural of him on a building wall at Pekan Kongsi.
