Recruitment Ad for Crocodile Coaches Goes Viral! Monthly Salary Under 2,500, Former Coach "Ran Away," Scaring Netizens

Training crocodiles is undoubtedly a high-risk job that requires not only sufficient courage but also a competitive salary to attract applicants. Recently, a job advertisement in Malaysia has gone viral, seeking crocodile trainers or assistant trainers for a facility, offering a monthly salary of only 2,500 Malaysian Ringgit. This amount is lower than the median monthly salary of 2,782 Ringgit reported in Malaysia.

What adds to the chilling nature of this advertisement is the mention that a previous trainer had "run away" and has been unreachable since. This has led to rampant speculation among netizens about the fate of the former trainer. Many users have expressed concerns that the trainer may have met with an unfortunate end, with comments such as "Did they become dinner?" and "Is their phone ringing inside a crocodile?"

Job Details: Crocodile Trainer Position

A user posted in the Facebook group "Sabahan Chat Station," claiming to have seen the job posting online. The advertisement specifies that applicants should have relevant work experience due to the challenging nature of the job, with a salary of 2,500 Ringgit per month. However, it also ominously notes that the previous trainer "ran away" and remains uncontactable, instantly sparking further speculation among users.

Netizens Speculate on Previous Trainer's Fate

Many commenters believe that the previous trainer may have encountered serious danger, with remarks like "Did they run away or go missing?" and "Are they now part of the crocodile's diet?" Some even joked about the absurdity of the situation, saying things like "Even with a decent salary, I wouldn't have the guts to apply," and "What if I end up missing before I even get paid?"

Questionable Photos Accompanying the Post

The post included photos that have raised eyebrows among users, with some claiming they are obviously fake or manipulated. Comments included skepticism such as "Isn't this AI-generated?" and "The last image is just too much." One user humorously remarked that if crocodiles could play guitar, it would be more believable.

Upon investigation by reporters from Hong Kong 01, it was found that this job posting had circulated on Malaysian social media as early as last month. However, due to the bizarre nature of the accompanying images—depicting crocodiles climbing trees and even holding guitars—many believe it could be a prank or an attempt at humor that spiraled out of control.
