SHUMUGAVEL Sethu, 64, and his son Elangovan have teamed up to keep their newspaper vending business within the family. Elangovan, 43, recalls the time when his father was still a small sub-vendor trying to earn a living. There is no doubt that the newspaper business is different now compared to when The Star was first published 50 years ago. Thanks to their dedication, Shumugavel and Elangovan have cultivated a loyal customer base over the decades. “We have more than just a business relationship, they are like family friends, ” said Elangovan.
