Singer Cakra Khan says that he likes looking for clothes on the cheap in the warrens of Jakarta'€™s largest textile market.

'€œI'€™m more into shopping at Tanah Abang market, which sells stuff for Rp 15,000 [US$1.18] to Rp 20,000 apiece,'€ the 22-year-old said as quoted by kapanlagi.com.

'€œWhy would I need to buy a piece of clothing worth Rp 20 million?'€

The former cafe singer '€” who once was paid Rp 200,000 a gig '€” said that he'€™d rather invest than spend on haute couture.

Cakra, who sang the hit song '€œHarus Terpisah'€ (We'€™ve Got to Separate), also wants to take care of his family, he said. '€œI can also give a little to my parents. I'€™m really grateful.'€
