IPOH: It is not every day that an 11-year-old boy can say he has the same “magnetic powers� as his father and grandfather.Like his grandfather Liew Thow Lin, popularly known as “Magnetic Man,� metal objects stick to young Kin Seng’s body when placed on his skin.
“I don’t have to concentrate hard, they (the metal objects) just stick on me,� he shyly explained when interviewed at Liew’s house in Gunung Rapat here.
The Standard Five pupil said the “gift� was a normal part of his life.
“My friends don’t even know I have (this ability).
“I don’t feel anything when light things like spoons stick to my skin, but objects like an iron feels heavy,� he said.
His aunt, assistant nurse Liow Siew Kim, said the family only found out two years ago that Kin Seng possessed the ability after reporters asked them if he could do it. “We just thought we’d give it a try once, and it actually worked.�
Liew, 70, who on Sunday successfully pulled a Kancil a distance of 20m during the Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta Karnival Bahagia 2001 in Tanjung Rambutan, said his three sons and two grandchildren also had the ability.
The other grandson is three-year-old Liew Wei Xiong.
