Six-year-old Rohingya boy allegedly drives car into the drain
But what happens when children decide to do things meant for an adult, like driving a car? The outcome would be a blast and we are not surprised.
Recently, a video by netizen @jllmisai went viral, showing a car that went into the drain. It wasn't caused by a drunk driver. According to the netizen, it was driven by a six-year-old boy. Imagine that.
Perhaps the kid was driving his imaginery friends about or maybe he wanted to grab some dypers for himself at the grocery store. No one could tell.

While most six year olds are still drinking their mother's milk or eating dirt, here we have a genius capable of operating a vehicle, albeit for a brief moment.
But we really shouldn't praise these kids who go fast and furious as this will motivate some other child to do the same. Malaysia already has enough accidents.
Netizen @jllmisai alleged that the incident happened in Telok Gong, Port Klang. Also, he said the child involved was a Rohingya.
No further information could be derived from the brief video and mainstream news media have yet to provide any updates regarding the case.
Regardless, this is not the first time a child has decided to go fast and furious. In July 2024, a 12 year old Malaysian boy was caught joyriding the neighbourhood with his two siblings, aged six and four, in a Perodua Viva.
English-language daily New Straits Times reported that this was not the first time the children were seen driving around unaccompanied.
Even worse, the children are seen not wearing seat belts. Well at least the child did not crash the car into someone else or decided that the car should be used for a drain inspection. But note that the child was about twice the age of the Rohingya boy.
On another note, we would like to remind that only a 16-year-old is allowed to take a motorcycle driving license while for cars, it is 17- ears old.
The Rohingya boy needs another 11 years of growing up before he should be allowed behind the wheels. —July 20, 2025

Malaysian thief shows 'courtesy' by leaving replacement helmet
A young Malaysian man got an unexpected lesson in criminal 'courtesy' when a thief stole his motorcycle helmet but thoughtfully left behind a replacement - albeit one completely devoid of padding. The unusual theft occurred when the victim briefly left his motorcycle outside a shop to grab a drink, only to return and discover his helmet had been swapped for what he humorously described as a 'budget-friendly skull crusher.' The replacement helmet, lacking any sponge padding, essentially transformed into what the victim called 'a stylish plastic bucket for his head.' 'I mean, if you're going to steal my helmet, at least leave me one with some padding, bro. Now how am I supposed to ride back? Where do I even put my face?' the victim said in a video, chuckling at his predicament while awkwardly strapping on the oversized helmet. 'It's early in the morning, and this is what you decide to do with your life?' he added, displaying a mix of amusement and exasperation. Taking the bizarre situation in stride, the man even offered a creative blessing for the thief: 'May you be cursed with eternal hemorrhoids and restless nights.' The helmet, which the victim noted 'fits like a cooking pot,' was so loose it could 'probably do a full 360 on his head with a sneeze.' The 56-second video, uploaded to the Facebook page 'Apakes' on August 19, has captured widespread attention across Malaysian social media with over 6,000 views, more than 1,000 shares and over 12,000 likes at the time of writing. The incident has resonated with Malaysian social media users, who have praised the victim's good humour despite the inconvenience. The video showcases the characteristic Malaysian ability to find comedy in frustrating situations. While the incident provided entertainment, it highlights legitimate safety concerns about unpadded helmets, which offer minimal protection in accidents. Malaysian law requires all motorcyclists to wear proper safety-certified helmets. The story has sparked discussions about motorcycle safety equipment standards, with some users sharing their own experiences with inadequate protective gear. This unusual case of 'considerate criminality' joins a growing collection of viral Malaysian crime stories that blend theft with unexpected thoughtfulness, reflecting unique cultural dynamics in how some crimes unfold. The incident demonstrates how social media can transform everyday frustrations into shared community experiences, with humor serving as a coping mechanism for minor criminal victimisation.

GOF nabs 36 undocumented Myanmar migrants in Rantau Panjang
RANTAU PANJANG: The General Operations Force (GOF) nabbed 36 undocumented migrants from Myanmar after stopping a tour bus in an operation in Serongga here today. Southeast Brigade commander Datuk Nik Ros Azhan Nik Abd Hamid said the Myanmar nationals were arrested about 6.30am following public tip-offs received around midnight. He said a GOF team from the Eighth Battalion, comprising one officer and seven personnel, stopped the bus and found 37 people onboard, including the 37-year-old Malaysian driver. The Myanmar nationals comprise 34 men and two women, aged 20s to 40s. Ros Azhan said the Myanmar nationals told GOF personnel that they were on their way to work at a rice factory in Kampung Tok Deh near the border. "Checks revealed that no such factory exists." He said only four of the Myanmar nationals had passports, but they were all empty and had no immigration stamps. "This indicates that the four did not enter Malaysia legally. After interrogation, they admitted to slipping into the country illegally several years ago." He said another Myanmar national had an expired passport, while the remaining 31 had no travel documents at all. Ros Azhan said the driver, who acted as a 'tekong' (agent), admitted to receiving RM2,300 to transport the Myanmar nationals from Meru, Klang, to Kelantan. "The driver claimed the group was picked up from a factory in Meru to be sent to Kelantan, supposedly to work in rice packing, involving 5kg and 10kg bags of Thai rice. "All of them were detained and handed over to Pasir Mas police for further action."
