#NSTviral: Dashcam captures moment lorry veers into Kancil
KUALA LUMPUR: A viral dashcam video showing a lorry veering into a Perodua Kancil and causing it to crash on a highway has triggered widespread anger among netizens.
The 26-second clip, shared by a Reddit user, captures the moment the lorry, while signalling left, veered into the lane and side-swiped a Perodua Kancil from behind, causing it to crash to the side of the road.
"It happened along the stretch of highway near MSU, around 9.34pm on June 1, 2025," claimed the user.
"Earlier, the same truck was behind me in the far right overtaking lane, so I accelerated to distance myself. Moments later, this happened. I had a bad feeling about the lorry. I'm seriously shaken. I hope the driver is okay," the user added.
The incident drew various comments online.
A Reddit user wrote that the Kancil was likely caught in the lorry's blind spot.
"The Kancil was right in the truck's blind spot, just bad luck, in the wrong place at the wrong time," he said.
Another user, @Bearkuching, warned others to stay clear of lorries.
"Never stay in the same lane or close to trucks. Either let them pass or overtake fast. Don't trust them."

'Singapore has become noticeably dirtier' - SG netizens say it was cleaner 10 years ago
ACCORDING to a report by US-based Eagle Dumpster Rental, Singapore topped the global list for its spotless streets — a reputation closely tied to its strict anti-littering laws and well-maintained public spaces. But over on Reddit, locals are painting a different picture. In a now-viral post on r/askSingapore, one user claimed hygiene standards in the city-state have been slipping — citing a rise in visible litter at bus stops, sheltered walkways, and void decks. 'I notice a lot more litter at bus stops, along sheltered walkways and in void decks. Usually tissue paper, drink containers and plastic trash,' they wrote. 'Of course, I'm not saying our streets were ever totally spotless. But I think it's time we reinforce the anti-littering campaign and step up education in schools and neighbourhoods. No point being a cleaned city rather than a clean one by habit.' The post struck a chord, with many netizens echoing the sentiment — some even comparing today's Singapore to its past image. 'As a Vietnamese, 15 years ago I heard Singapore was the cleanest city in the world. I visited twice. But after living here for the past year, I can say it's definitely dirtier now,' one user shared. 'There's more random litter than there used to be. Littering is so odd to me — do you not have even a gram of pride for your country?' another commented. Beyond the streets, others turned their attention to public toilets — especially in food courts and MRT stations. 'It's indeed getting dirtier... especially toilets,' one person wrote. 'I don't understand why coffee shop and hawker centre toilets can be so filthy. Like why? And not to forget MRT toilets too.'
