KUALA TERENGGANU: Unlike many of his young friends, 11-year-old Mohd Aiman Danis does not play video games at home or join other children in activities during the school holidays.
Instead, he and younger brother Mohd Aiman Rashdan, nine, help their father work on the vehicles sent to his beachside workshop at Pantai Batu Buruk for repairs and maintenance.
“It beats staying at home playing video games or running around aimlessly,” said the SK Seri Budiman pupil, sounding wiser beyond his years.

Aiman Danis said helping out dad gives them hands-on lessons on making a living and not to take money for granted.
“I love working at the beach and meeting new people each day,” he added.
Aiman Rashdan agrees, saying it is a worthwhile way to pass time at the beach as they get to be involved in the hustle and bustle of the family business.
“I love watching my father at work. He is skilful in handling people.
“I wish to be a good businessman like him,” the young boy said, admiration glowing in his eyes.
The boys' father, Mohd Nazim Jusoh, 33, said he was happy to have his sons with him, adding that they came on their own accord and he did not force them.
He added their presence gives him peace of mind about their safety.
“I know they won't get into trouble, especially during the flood season.
“We open for business from 9am to 7pm daily and the boys stay until we close for the day,” he said.
