Many people who witnessed this immediately called the police as well as the Fire and Rescue Department, thinking that this man was about to commit suicide by jumping off the tower.
However, according to a post by Info Roadblock JPJ/Polis, it turns out the 26-year-old man had something completely different in mind!
“When we arrived at the scene, we encountered the young man climbing up in the electric tower,” Kuala Lumpur Fire and Rescue Department Director, Khiruddin Drahman, reportedly said yesterday.
