The spirit of El Chapo runs deep among Malaysians. One of our very own was part of a 4-person group that escaped a Bali prison today.

Malaysian Tee Kok King used a 12-meter-long tunnel that officials suspect “took more than a week to build.” Understatement of the year, considering Prison Break is now in its fifth season of digging. King was jailed after being busted smuggling syabu into Bali.

The others are cited as Australian Shaun Edward Davidson jailed for passport fraud, Bulgarian Dimitar Nikolov imprisoned for ATM theft, and Indian national Sayed Muhammad, also in jail for meth smuggling.

Police believe that the suspects are still in Bali, and near the prison. No doubt enjoying an overpriced açaí smoothie bowl at a fashionably dilapidated café somewhere. Also, check Potato Head.
