I saw this lady selling a huge bunch of pinang at the front of a shop in Selangau.
She has come down from Ulu Mukah to make a few ringgit and has gone into the bumiputra version of trading - sitting by a small space at a five foot way and selling whatever she has.
Today her selling item is pinang which is an addictive nut many people chew with sireh (leaves) and some kapur.
I have been told that chewing pinang gives one a long life. It is an age old cultural custom too.
