Ignoring the falling rain, three smiling youngsters strummed their guitar, singing a traditional song which called for the rain to stop.

They looked like any other youngster you could find in Malaysia, jean-wearing kinds killing time by singing songs to entertain themselves and their friends. And also to charm the young girls standing next to them, giggling away on hearing the out-of-tune songs.

However this singing trio - all still below 20 years of age - are not your ordinary kind of youngsters.
