Following the viral tweet, many expressed disbelief at the python's immense size, with some even speculating whether it could be real or an Artificial Intelligence (AI) rendering.
Worries about the python's well-being were also voiced, with several people hoping that it was captured and relocated to a safer environment rather than being harmed. Some pointed out that the residential area was originally a forest, which might have been the reptile's natural habitat before urbanization.
As the community awaits further updates from the Department of Wildlife and National Parks of Peninsular Malaysia (PERHILITAN), the giant python's appearance remains a topic of both fascination and concern among Malaysians.
