A group of students was seen taking their pre-convocation photos at a busy intersection in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, drawing mixed reactions online.
The video, posted on TikTok by @ibnujuharii, showed five female students sitting at the pedestrian crossing during a red light, while a man took their photos.
The students quickly returned to the sidewalk once the photoshoot ended.
The video has gained 1.9 million views so far.
Motorcyclists honk during shoot
Motorcyclists passing by were heard honking during the photoshoot.
The OP claimed the honking was just to “liven up the atmosphere.”
Once the students left the road, the honking stopped.
Online users divided over stunt
Many netizens shared their thoughts on the photoshoot, with some finding it funny or harmless, while others expressed concern about safety and public disturbance.
In a comment with over 30.6K likes, one user questioned the outrage: “Why is everyone angry? He took the picture during a red light, not like he stopped traffic to pose right?”
Another user wrote, “It’s not every day you graduate, give them a chance,” receiving over 5,900 likes.
However, others found the act reckless.
“It’s just troublesome. Don’t act like there’s no other place.”
One commenter added, “Street photoshoots are okay, but sitting in the middle of the road? Even at a red light? Use some common sense.”
