Christmas is right around the corner, so Santa is surely working overtime to get everyone’s gifts ready for the holiday! However, this Saint Nick might be handing out gifts to cats, as he was seen fishing in the rivers of Borneo.

In the spirit of the festive season, user @/panglimabaram93 (Panglima) on TikTok was spotted throwing a fishing net while donning Father Christmas’ iconic red coat and white beard. In true tropical Santa fashion, he replaced his sleigh with a fisherman’s boat, and instead of reindeer, he has his trusty paddle to guide him through the waters.

Santa Claus is working overtime, so it seems. You would never expect to see the iconic figure in Malaysian weather, but there he was fishing the day away. Santa may have recently ‘Ho-Ho-Ho’-ed through the Bornean jungle on his little boat but based on previous posts on his account, Panglima actually frequently visits the rivers and shares his catches online—not to mention he’s quite well-known for his content.

Viewers who stumbled upon the video couldn’t help but laugh at the hilarious sight. Some netizens joked that Santa had to fish for presents because of inflation, while others commented that he was preparing for a Christmas dinner. Anyhow, it left everyone in stitches from laughing too much.

Well, we hope Santa has all his Christmas needs prepared. If you are in need of some last-minute Christmas shopping then don’t worry, you don’t have to go fishing because we have curated a list of gifts for fashionistas and gamers, just for you!
