While everyone's attention is on the newly minted Malaysian prime minister Anwar Ibrahim, his bodyguard is in the limelight as well.

A Nov. 25 TikTok posted by user Jannah Jalidar featuring Anwar's bodyguard has recently circulated widely, garnering more than 93,000 likes and 4,600 shares.

Abang viral

In the 30-second video, the bodyguard, sporting a mullet haircut, could be seen standing in a crowded room, where people were anticipating the arrival of Anwar.

When the bodyguard was approached by a man who appeared to know him, he gave a friendly hug, all the while giving a small smile to the camera, as if he was embarrassed at the attention.

However, he appeared to warm up to the cameraman soon after, and even gave a finger heart.

The short clip that captured him in slow-motion has since won plenty of hearts on the Internet.
