As Malaysians venture into the global playground of international travel, the excitement of exploring new territories is at an all-time high. Yet, amidst the thrill and adventure, it’s crucial to keep your wits about you, especially in unfamiliar surroundings.

Our very own Malaysian content creator, Sry Khairudin, recently spilled the beans on TikTok (@srynotsri) with a genius trick to dodge pickpockets during a trip to the City of Love, Paris. Surprisingly, her nifty move caught the attention of Malaysians and globe-trotters alike, hungry for clever travel hacks.

In her video, Sry flaunts a bag that could pass for a belt but is secretly a fortress of essential items like her wallet, power bank, and chargers. She zips up the bag, wraps it securely around her waist, and tucks it underneath her sweater with ninja-like precision. This move makes it practically invisible to the untrained eye.

Now, here comes the grand reveal: Sry pulls out a chic handbag, throws it over her shoulder, and dons a trench coat to complete her undercover ensemble. In this second bag, she casually stashes items like hand sanitizer, breath mints, snacks, wet wipes, and toilet seat covers – things you can live without, unlike the life-supporting essentials in the sneaky belt bag.

With a cheeky grin, Sry challenges potential thieves, “You want to steal this? Go ahead!” By strategically diverting attention to the less critical items in her visible handbag, she cleverly safeguards the real treasure trove in her undercover belt bag.

Jumping on the bandwagon of Sry’s brilliance, TikTok users chimed in with their own tales of travel trickery. One user swears by the old-school method of a hidden travel purse beneath the clothes, emphasizing its safety.

However, not everyone was all praises. Some users offered tweaks to Sry’s strategy to up the safety ante. One user wisely suggested placing the belt bag on the side or the tummy area to avoid a bulky backside – after all, no one wants a slashed coat ruining the stylish look.

Yet, amid the serious advice, a few users couldn’t resist injecting humor into the situation. One playful soul recommended replacing everything in the handbag with active mousetraps. Well, a surprise for a thief, indeed!

While Sry’s advice is a travel gem, some users couldn’t shake off the comedic tension of facing potential pickpockets overseas. Hey, at least laughter is a fantastic defense mechanism! Who knew outsmarting pickpockets could be so entertaining? Safe travels, fellow adventurers!
