Jakarta, Indonesia Sentinel — A Malaysian man has stirred controversy on social media with his unconventional business idea called the “villain for Hire” services. He would act out as a “villain” to harass clients’ partners, giving them an opportunity to step in as heroes.
According to Odditycentral, Malaysian man, Shazali Sulaiman gained widespread attention on Malaysian social media after introducing his “villain for hire” service earlier this month, . The idea, he explained, allows clients to showcase their masculinity and leave a lasting impression on their romantic partners or crushes.
Inspired by comments about his rugged appearance with long unkempt hair and biker attire making him resemble a gang member, Sulaiman saw an opportunity to monetize his looks. For a fee, clients can arrange for him to confront their partner at a specified time and location, creating a staged scenario where they can heroically intervene.
“Are you tired of your partner thinking you’re weak? For a reasonable fee, I can help you prove them wrong,” Sulaiman wrote in a social media post promoting his service. “Just tell me the time and place, and I will show up to ‘disturb’ your partner, giving you the chance to step in as the hero and take me down.”
Villain for Hire Services
Providing an example of his service, Sulaiman explained, “When the boyfriend went to the bathroom, I pretended to ‘harass’ his girlfriend. When he came back, he confronted me like a hero.”
The service is priced at 100 Malaysian ringgit ($22) on weekdays and 150 ringgit ($33) on weekends. If the client selects a location outside his hometown of Ipoh, they must cover his travel expenses as well.

The bizarre “Villain for Hire” service quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions among Malaysians. Some praised Sulaiman’s creativity and entrepreneurial spirit, while others criticized him for engaging in behavior that could be legally questionable.
