A recent TikTok video has gone viral, showing two elephants "inspecting" a project site in Pahang as if conducting their own quality control on the fencing. In the clip shared by user @mr_chezz91, the elephants, each with a rider, roam the fenced area, all while onlookers watch this unexpected sight.
In a playful display of their strength, one elephant is even seen nudging a pillar with its head, easily knocking it down and proving just how powerful these gentle giants are.
According to a report by the New Straits Times, the scene is actually part of an initiative by the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project. The aim? To assess how well the fencing prevents elephants from entering certain areas and potentially disrupting the construction. The project includes measures to handle wildlife interactions as it progresses.
The adorable sight of the "working" elephants quickly drew smiles and laughter from netizens. One viewer joked, “Even elephants need to make a living these days!” Another chimed in, “What’s the starting salary for these elephants?”
The video has already racked up over 150.8K with thousands of comments ranging from “This is a real product review. Real customers, too!” to “Imagine filling out the job quotation form for this task.”
The lighthearted reactions show just how much Malaysians enjoy these unique moments with their beloved elephants.
