A heartwarming act of kindness in Penang has gone viral after several motorcyclists stopped in the middle of a flooded road to help a stranded driver whose car had broken down.
In a video shared on TikTok, a Proton Saga is seen stalled in the middle of a water-logged stretch of road following rain.
Food delivery rider comes to the rescue
As the car remains motionless, a food delivery rider pulls over first to check on the driver. Moments later, two other motorcyclists also stop to lend a hand.
The three men then work together to push the car toward the roadside to prevent traffic congestion and ensure the driver’s safety.
They continue pushing until the vehicle can be restarted — and once the engine finally roars back to life, the motorcyclists simply walk back to their bikes and ride off.
The uploader captioned the video with a message of pride and gratitude, saying he felt proud to be Malaysian after witnessing the gesture.
Netizens’ comments
The clip has since drawn widespread praise online. Many commenters highlighted how motorcyclists are often judged negatively, yet in emergencies they are frequently the first to help.
“There are many good people in this world, but if you don’t meet one, try to be one.”
“Most motorcyclists are actually kind. When I had an accident with my husband, it was the motorcyclists who helped us. The people in cars just slowed down and looked on.”
