(Video) Netizens React To Perodua Alza Getting Hit By Lightning On The Road
The sky in Malaysia provides us with various things, including sunshine, rainbows, precipitation, bassy thunder, and occasional 300 million volt streaks of plasma (once in the shade of purple). Rain or shine, or a flurry of all combinations, nature does whatever it wants. When rain clouds rolled over the Expressway earlier this week, drivers braced for slippery roads and low visibility, not a flash of pure adrenaline. What seemed like a normal rainy commute was given a spark of excitement. An astonishing 18-second dashcam clip, posted on 22nd May by RedNote user @/aidenyx0807, has now gone viral. In the video, a silver Perodua Alza was seen driving through sheets of rain near Exit 115 of the North-South Expressway. The wipers on the following vehicle are swiftly swiping the raindrops away. Barely a moment later, the skies lit up and a white hot streak of electricity landed on the Alza's roof, scattering some small unidentified black debris. Despite what it seems, the Alza seems relatively unharmed after the strike, but the driver does get on the brakes, slow down, and switch on their hazard lights. It would not be hard to imagine how deafeningly loud hearing thunder being created on top of your car. The comments lit up as well, many users were curious if the strike would pose a threat to the car's occupants: 'Would the people inside the car get toasted?'. While a few more superstitious individuals commented on being careful what you say, or the lightning may find you one day. However, in typical internet fashion, people are correcting and explaining that the car's body would conduct the electricity around and leave the inside intact. Nevertheless, it's not every day that you get to witness a real-life lightning strike land from the comfort of your phone screen, especially one with such an oddly calm aftermath. No explosions. No fiery wreck. Just a glowing bolt and a very 'lucky' driver. What would you do if your car got hit? Watch the viral clip below: Source: RedNote Gan contributed to this article.

PETALING JAYA: A white Lexus RX200 was stolen in under six minutes from a home in Muar, Johor, in a swift and brazen theft recently captured on CCTV. In the footage, a thief is seen forcing open the home's automatic gate while a purple Perodua Alza idles nearby. In the 58th second of the footage, a second accomplice came out from the Alza and entered the house. Minutes later, the Lexus could be seen reversing out of the driveway, and the Alza drives off. In a post on Siasat Jenayah's Telegram group, the admin commented: Let this be a wake-up call for all car owners – never take security lightly! Always install anti-theft systems, equip your vehicle with a GPS tracker, and double-check that your car is properly locked every time you leave it. Never leave your keys in obvious spots or inside the car. Thieves today are fast, smart, and ruthless – don't give them a single chance.'
