'The Accidental Celebrity'

BBC News, Mat Dan: 'I became an accidental celebrity 6,000 miles from home'

"A buzz had already started to build around Dan in Terengganu state as word spread of a young Englishman who had embraced the local language and way of life. But when a student from Kuala Lumpur secretly filmed Dan speaking Terengganu, the video clocked up hundreds of thousands of views across Malaysia on YouTube."
