She spent more than 20 hours hiding in a small concrete box after being "detected"

PETALING JAYA: In the midst of a local police investigation into the veracity of a viral video, a Russian content producer has disclosed information about her claimed ascent at the Kuala Lumpur Merdeka 118 building.

On January 4, "extreme roofer girl" Angela Nikolau tweeted that she had been keeping an eye on the building from a nearby rented flat for several weeks.

She then continued to race up the first 32 levels while claiming to have gained entrance to the building by donning a builder's costume, complete with spectacles and headscarf.

She spent more than 20 hours hiding in a small concrete box after being "detected," according to Nikolau. Later, when the construction workers were taking breaks, she seized the chance to ascend to the top of the structure.

Adding that she wants someone else to "own this feat," Nikolau stated she will be sharing an NFT of her ascent.

In response to Nikolau's tweet, Malaysian users of the social media site criticized her for trespassing and called some of her behaviors "disrespectful."
