True story told to me by a friend.
In primary school during the 60's, his family rented a room to a sailor. The sailor will come home every now and then after a long voyage, but one day he never returned. So the family cleared the room to rent it out again. My friend chanced upon a huge stack of Playboy magazines and brought a few to school to show his friends. Two of those friends were from a rich Indonesian family and apparently told their father who usually fetched them from school.
My friend was more interested in Spiderman and Superman comics, being at an age before puberty. The Indonesian father approached him and promised him some comics in exchange for the Playboy magazines. So he brought the whole lot and passed them to the father and got some Dell comics in return.
That Indonesian man must be real happy and to this day, my friend will never forget this episode and cursed himself for not knowing he had a treasure.

Well, males do not usually start as young as you ny friend. Usually it begins at Pr5 - Pr6 and some in Sec1. At that age, we do not have access nor the purchasing power to buy them.

Where do we have the money to buy them, they are usually 'stolen' from the adults, from friends in school & those sneaky Indian second hand book stores in Bras Basah Road or the off the wall mama store...that was where we became 'educated', not starting young, but somehow was introduced, ha ha ha ha
