Caught in 4K: Netizens React To Mysterious Search History 'Leak' On KL Billboard
Whether we like to admit it or not, our internet search history has become an absolute safekeeping that would leak some pretty embarrassing things about ourselves. From searching about weird topics or stalking a random celebrity, we'd rather keep those enquiries private.
However, from 13th to 14th May 2025, commuters on the LDP highway were met with a peculiar sight of someone's search history flashed on a massive digital billboard for all to see. The search history was what we can describe as very human queries, sparking netizens to wonder what would appear next.
Instead of the usual advertisements, the search history pop-up was framed to look like an error message, which had some interesting and mildly concerning queries. As shown in photos, the anonymous 'user' was looking for answers to, 'Who is M Nasir?', 'Is pickleball overrated?', 'Can I play Hauntu alone?', 'What does cat food taste like?' 'What's the main attraction of Sabah?', and 'Why (is my) body itchy after thrifting?'.
Netizens were quick to share their sightings of the billboard on social media, with some speculating what this showcase might be. While other users ponder over those interesting queries, such as Twitter user @Angelinebabyyy commenting, 'Who in their right mind wakes up and wonders what cat food tastes like?', TikTok user @/hafizkodin speculates that this might be an ad for the upcoming 'Ejen Ali 2' movie.
Hauntu Malaysia also spotted the sighting and posted on their Twitter with the caption, 'Spotted this billboard this morning. Someone was definitely having Tuesday blues, but for real though, who dares to go Hauntu alone? And who in Malaysia doesn't know M Nasir??'. Is this a new marketing gimmick for brands, or is this just an honest glitch?
