#NSTviral: Dashcam shows car flipping five times in highway crash
KUALA LUMPUR: A woman's terrifying car crash, which saw her vehicle flip over five times along the North-South Expressway (Plus), has gone viral, drawing both sympathy and criticism from netizens. In a 20-second TikTok clip posted by user @ig_terry_1519, also known as Umi Athirah, dashcam footage shows her Perodua Bezza flipping multiple times after a crash on the Plus Highway near Slim River–Sungkai in Perak. The impact left her car completely wrecked. Athirah was the only person in the vehicle, which she said she had owned for just nine months. The accident also involved a family travelling in a Toyota Vios. Athirah said she sustained only minor wounds, while the others escaped unhurt. She claimed that despite the violent crash, the airbags in her Bezza did not deploy. "I survived a deadly car crash this week. My deepest apologies to the Vios family. "I've settled the police compound and learned my lesson. "While I lost my car, I'm just grateful to still be here. Hoping the insurance claim, injuries, and trauma can all be sorted soon," she wrote in the caption. The video sparked hundreds of reactions from viewers — some expressing relief, others urging safer driving habits. "I've been driving for 12 years, and I never go over 100 (kmph). Most of the time, I stick to 90, especially on dark roads," said user @Shera. Another user, @ainnhrrs, commented: "How did you end up hitting the Vios? Did you fall asleep? Please be more careful — there are other lives at stake, not just yours." "What must have gone through her mind while the car was flipping? She'll probably be traumatised to drive again," wrote @ienafarina.

Humble Car, Expensive Taste: Toyota Vios Uncle's RON95 Meltdown
Subscribe to our FREE A Toyota Vios owner in Malaysia is making waves online after throwing a fit over what he considers a fuel faux pas. The drama unfolded when his nephew borrowed his car and committed what the owner saw as an unforgivable sin: filling up the tank with RON95 instead of his preferred RON97 fuel. His solution? Driving until the tank runs completely empty before refilling with his precious RON97. He expressed hope that nothing would happen to his car because 'kita ni jenis jaga kereta'. Posted in the ' Weird Flex, Weirder Reality: Malaysia's Car Culture Gone Extra In a classic case of 'weird flex but okay,' the owner's premium fuel fixation has made him the target of merciless mockery. Social media users couldn't resist pointing out that even BMW owners are content with RON95, with one commenter quipping, 'Mate, even if you put rocket fuel in it, it's still a Vios.' The incident has become a perfect metaphor for Malaysia's unique brand of car culture, where vehicle ownership often crosses into the territory of personal identity. While the Vios owner's reaction might seem excessive, it reflects a broader phenomenon of car owners treating their vehicles like precious babies, regardless of make or model. Setakat baru skali full tank ron 95 dah kelam kabut "harap2 la tak jadi apa2".. dah mcm keta merc padahal vios spec E ja pun.. — Saf (@qushairysafuan) It's Like Buying Evian Water To Wash Your Car For those wondering what the fuss is all about, RON (Research Octane Number) ratings simply indicate how well the fuel resists ' RON95 currently costs RM2.05 per litre, RON97 at RM3.07 per litre, and RON100 (available at selected stations) at around RM5 per litre. Most modern cars, including luxury vehicles, are perfectly happy running on RON95. The higher octane RON97 or RON100 only makes a real difference in high-performance vehicles with engines specifically designed for premium fuel. For a standard Vios, which starts at RM89,600 in Malaysia, the extra ringgit spent on premium fuel is essentially pouring money down the drain. Sure, it's more expensive, but your car won't know the difference. READ MORE : READ MORE : Share your thoughts with us via TRP's .

Malaysians unite to move double-parked Axia in Putra Heights
Double-parking is something many Malaysians are guilty of. Whether it's due to an emergency, it's crucial to leave your contact number so others can reach you if needed. In a brief TikTok video shared by @alianadhierah, a group of Malaysians can be seen lifting a red Axia that had double-parked in front of a Vios in Putra Heights. According to @alianadhierah, the Vios owner had been honking for over an hour in an attempt to get the Axia driver's attention—but there was no response. Eventually, several bystanders stepped in to help physically move the Axia, allowing the Vios driver to exit the parking spot. ALSO READ: Call for stricter measures to curb double-parking bane In a follow-up video, @alianadhierah revealed that the Axia driver had not left a contact number and only came downstairs from the second floor after being instructed by the police. She was also issued a summon. 'We didn't call, but someone else already did. The police came, handled it, and the Axia owner got a summons.' The video, which has since gone viral with over 321,000 views, sparked a wave of frustration among Malaysian netizens toward drivers who continue to double park and inconvenience others.
