A Singaporean tourist was caught littering on the road, only to have his trash returned by a brave Malaysian man in an act that has gone viral.
According to a video posted on social media, the incident occurred at a traffic light, where a passenger in a Singaporean car threw trash out of the window, prompting the man behind to confront them.
Tosses the litter back
In the video, a man wearing sunglasses is seen getting out of his car after witnessing the passenger littering.
He calmly walks over to the Singaporean vehicle, knocks on the window, and bends down to pick up the discarded trash.
Without hesitation, he tosses the litter back through the open window, before returning to his own car with a cool demeanor.
The bold action was recorded by a dashcam from another vehicle and quickly shared on social media.
Although the exact location and date of the incident are unclear, the video has stirred strong reactions online, with many netizens criticizing the Singaporean tourist’s behavior and praising the Malaysian man’s response.
Netizens’ reaction
“Thank you for representing the people of Malaysia, and many are satisfied with the actions of this ‘brother’ who defended the truth that litter should not be thrown carelessly, regardless of nationality.”
“It’s such a shame. In my car, I always prepare a special plastic bag for trash and keep a bundle in the car. Every time there’s trash, I make sure to throw it into the designated bag. Once I reach a destination, I dispose of it properly in a trash bin.”
“Respect to your bravery, bro. Most people only act tough or like gangsters when they’re in a group, but you, bro!! You’re the real gangster all the way!”
