# Penang Trishaw Rider Caught Allegedly Sniffing Glue In Viral Video

##### Being a trishaw rider requires both strength, alertness, and skill when ferrying customers around on the vehicle. However, one trishaw driver had neither of those characteristics as shown in a now-viral video.

## Penang trishaw rider caught allegedly sniffing glue

In the video posted on [X](https://twitter.com/isusemasaviral/status/1704032330481115377) (formerly known as Twitter) by @isusemasaviral, it showed the trishaw rider huffing into a transparent plastic bag which allegedly contained glue while standing by the side of the road in Penang.

Upon realising that he was being filmed, the trishaw rider turned around and pointed disapprovingly towards the OP with a scowl on his face.

In doing so however, he could barely stand steadily and had the facial expression of one who was feeling the "high" side effects of glue sniffing.

In the comment section, there were some who expressed concern for the trishaw rider's wellbeing.

***"He's still quite young and I pity him. I hope the National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK) will nab him and send him to the rehabilitation centre so that he can change...but what if he's the sole breadwinner?'***

One joked that the trishaw rider looked like he was ready to take the trishaw to the moon with him after sniffing the glue.
