The netizen who uploaded the video praised the man’s efforts, writing, “May God bless this abang for clearing the drain. Just look at how drenched he got.”
He wasn’t alone in his good deed—another motorcyclist soon stopped to lend a hand, showing how small acts of kindness can inspire others.
The video quickly gained traction, sparking discussions on Threads: “Much respect to this brother! But why does this keep happening every time it rains heavily? Flooding is getting out of hand,” one user commented.
Another shared their frustration: “This is a regular sight on my way home. Every time there’s a heavy downpour, roads get flooded. I even lost my car’s registration plate trying to drive through water like this.”
However, some netizens pointed out that such tasks shouldn’t fall on the public: “Where are the local authorities? It’s part of their SOP to monitor road conditions, especially during heavy rain. Why should ordinary people be doing their job?” one person wrote.
While this motorcyclist’s actions earned admiration, the incident also reignited concerns about drainage maintenance and flood prevention efforts in the country.
