Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (AHN) - Beating his own world record, a 41-year-old Malaysian man dragged three train coaches 2.8 meters (9 feet) using only his teeth.
Rathakrishnan Velu, nicknamed "King Tooth" pulled a seven-coach, 328 tonne train using a steel rope clenched in his mouth along tracks at a railway station in Kuala Lumpur.
The train-man currently holds a 2003 Guinness World Record for pulling a train weighing 260.8 tonnes at a distance of 4.2 metres. His current record also marks Malaysia's 50th year of nationhood.
The feat was being submitted to the Guinness World Records, his manager, Anna Chidambar said.
"As a Malaysian, I am proud to have been able to break the world record, especially at a time when we are celebrating the country's Merdeka Day," Velu told Malaysian news agency Bernama.
However, he was disappointed for not achieving his target of covering 4.2 metres. He now hopes to attempt another record breaking feat in December.
Also known as Raja Gigi, the dare devil says he works upon an Indian form of meditation exercises and jaw training to build up his strength. He pulled the train in the first attempt.
Velu made three attempts to pull the coaches along the track before settling on his 2.8-metre haul.

What so you think about this awesome man who have teeth from god
?? It must be really hard to pull train from one place and harder to make it with teeth.
I don't know how people like this make can do it. I'm still reading news about this and reading it with my opened mouths.
But you just can see what people can do with their teeth and other parts of body to make a Guinness world record.
