Monkeys in Malaysia seem to be the true kings of the jungle, and our local cops are learning it the amusing way.
A PDRM officer, @axaneerahman, shared on TikTok about his colleague's hilarious encounter with a monkey thief at Teluk Chempedak, Kuantan.

In a scenario straight out of a wildlife comedy, the officer shared, "My colleague was just trying to get back to work when the local gangster in the area decided to bully him. Stay strong!"
The video unfolds with the officer standing next to his police motorcycle, giving the monkey a stern talking-to. "You! You!" he scolds the furry culprit, gesturing towards his colleague's pilfered riding glove. "Give him back the glove. Pity him, he wants to go back to work. Give it back. Come here, give it back."
As the officer attempts to negotiate with the cheeky monkey, it nonchalantly nibbles on the glove, seemingly unfazed by the PDRM officers' plea.
Undeterred, he advises his colleague, "Go and ask," for the glove politely. "Ask it nicely," he adds with a burst of laughter – as if negotiating with a monkey was just another routine.
In a surprising turn of events, the monkey eventually drops the glove, snatches up a water bottle, and makes a swift getaway.
It looks like even our law enforcers aren't safe from the antics of these mischievous furry gangsters.
