Malaysians and their manners have always been exemplary, and this heartwarming moment on the road proves it.

A group of young adults demonstrated just how effortless it is to practise common courtesy when they found themselves in the wrong lane and needed to merge into another queue. Instead of forcing their way through, they used a lighthearted yet respectful approach to seek permission from other drivers.
In a viral TikTok video, one of them used a familiar gesture often seen in Malay families—where a younger person respectfully requests to pass—while another relied on an exaggerated hand motion to signal their plea. Their comedic yet polite effort paid off as the driver ahead graciously let them in.
The wholesome exchange quickly caught the attention of netizens, who flooded the comments with praise.
“If this is the way, I wouldn’t mind if 10 trailers wanted to cut the queue,” one user quipped.
“Look at just how courteous some kids are,” another remarked.
This simple act serves as a gentle reminder that showing kindness on the road doesn’t take much—just a bit of patience and respect.
