A video of a young woman paddling her way through the flooded streets of Penang in a storage container has gone viral, bringing some humor to an otherwise worrying situation.
After heavy rains and strong winds wreaked havoc across Penang, causing flash floods and uprooting trees, areas like Permatang Rawa, Perda, Bayan Lepas, and Nibong Tebal were severely affected. However, it was this woman’s creative solution that caught everyone’s attention.
Armed with nothing but a storage container and a window wiper as a makeshift oar, she was seen calmly rowing down the road while a TikTok user nearby recorded the amusing scene. The video quickly made the rounds on social media, with many netizens reminiscing about their childhood memories of playing in floodwaters.
Some predicted that the clip would soon land on “Malaysia Core,” a community known for showcasing the most memorable Malaysian moments, while others praised her courage and creativity, joking that nothing — not even a flood — could stop her daily routine.
Despite the inconveniences caused by the floods, this lighthearted moment has become a symbol of the resilience and humor that Malaysians bring to tough times.
