MIRI: A man in Piasau Utara was just about to switch off his TV after watching a late-night movie when he spotted a one-metre long cobra slithering next to the switch box.
Terrified, the 27-year-old man immediately ran out of the house and called for help.
Three personnel from the Miri Civil Defence Force (APM) rushed to the house after responding to the alert at 1.28am yesterday.
It took them less than 10 minutes to secure the reptile.
