#NSTviral: Buffaloes roam Bukit Raja roadside, sparking social media buzz [WATCH]

A video of four buffaloes wandering along a roadside in Bukit Raja, Kuala Lumpur has captured the attention of social media users, amassing over 6,700 views on the Threads platform. Shared by user @ayieesb, the footage displays the animals strolling along a grass verge adjacent to a major road, with vehicles passing by in the background.

The post was accompanied by a warning to drivers to exercise caution in the area, as the buffaloes have gone missing. @tiarasy10 linked the sighting to recent flooding in the region, while @lailayayang suggested the buffaloes have been roaming the area for generations, recalling the time when Bukit Raja estate was home to a large population of these animals. The dwindling numbers of buffaloes are attributed to human development encroaching on their natural habitat.

In contrast, @therootcauseanalysis offered a more humorous take on the incident, noting that Bandar Bukit Raja residents no longer hire grass cutters, but instead use buffaloes for the task. The user humorously pointed out that one month's worth of grass is now provided by the roaming buffaloes.
