“I was shocked when the video exploded. Many news pages reposted it.”

“Even the Los Angeles and Singapore media wanted to buy the clip from me,” he told mStar, as quoted in a report in Malay Mail.

The 25-year-old shared that the video clip was taken from the recording of a closed-circuit television.

He also said that he is used to the monkey which is always seen around Berjaya Langkawi Resort where he works.

“They are tame. The resort area used to be their habitat. When the resort was built, they ran away from the area.”

“But when tourists started to feed them, they returned and stayed on,” adding that the monkeys recognise people who feed them.

Muhamad Hafiidz said he also received many requests for him to record other videos of the monkeys and that the original video has led the resort to gain more popularity.

“Many came to visit and the first thing they asked when they saw me was am I the guard with the monkey. Even Shuib Sepahtu’s family and his personal assistant also approached me.”
