When you think of Santa Claus, you probably picture him riding a sleigh through snowy skies, delivering presents with his trusty reindeer.
But let’s be real—how’s that going to work in Malaysia’s tropical heat? No snow? No problem!
One man in Borneo decided to give Santa a makeover that’s as Malaysian as it gets.
Forget the sleigh and reindeer—this Santa grabbed a fishing net, hopped on a boat, and went “gift hunting” in the water!
In a TikTok video posted by @panglimabaram93 that had viewers laughing out loud, the man was seen fully decked out in Santa’s iconic red suit, proving that the Christmas spirit can thrive even in 30°C weather.
As he cast his net, viewers couldn’t help but joke about his dedication. “Collecting gifts” suddenly took on a whole new meaning, with Santa trading chimneys for rivers and fish for presents.
Who needs elves when you’ve got fishing skills?
The grand finale? Santa proudly showing off his hard-earned “loot” of fish, proving that even tropical Santa gets the job done. Netizens were quick to join in on the fun:
“Wow, merry Christmas Santa Claus. Lots of blessings!”
“Times are tough—even Santa’s fishing now!”
With this tropical twist, Santa’s made it clear: whether it’s snow or sun, the festive cheer isn’t going anywhere. Now, who’s ready for a Christmas seafood feast?
