Malaysian police on 28 December said they were investigating a Russian couple who climbed to the top of the Merdeka 118 tower, after photos of the pair’s stunt went viral on social media.

But now, a new video has emerged of a group from the United States doing the same thing, trying to break into the world’s second tallest building.
A video that was uploaded on 30 December, by a YouTube channel called Driftershoots shows a group of men from the United States breaking into the building, which is currently still under construction.
“A while ago, I and three other exploring friends made our way to Kuala Lumpur to climb and photograph the Merdeka 118, the second tallest building in the world at 679 meters tall. The journey was long and difficult and full of challenges.
“A number of attempts had already ended in prison time for certain individuals so we knew we were up against heavy odds. The trip ended successfully and it’s a gift to be ending the year,” the caption reads.
“This video is an artistic expression of freedom done in and for love, I do not encourage anybody to recreate the actions shown in this video,” they added.
The video has since garnered over 17,000 views at the time of writing.
It looks dangerous. Please don’t do this, guys!
