A pothole on Jalan Tengah heading towards Mid Valley has caused the unfortunate death of a motorcyclist on Sunday around 7.30 am. Preliminary investigations by the Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) showed that the motorcyclist was riding over a pothole when he was thrown off his motorcycle. JSPT chief Asst Comm Zulkefly Yahya added that the rider, identified as 75-year-old Ho Yan Yee, died at the scene of the accident. Since the accident yesterday morning, the
Yet another pothole-related death has been reported just a day after the fatal accident of a 75-year-old man. The most recent case involved a Grab Food delivery rider who fell off his motorcycle after hitting a pothole in Mutiara Damansara. The accident happened at 1.15 pm on 4 January 2021. The aftermath was even recorded in a video where fellow riders were seen trying to help the unmoving motorcyclist by the side of the road. Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal told The Star th
A knight in shining armor is a man who has never had his metal truly tested. Likewise, a pristine looking car is a car that hasn’t been driven much. While the former may be an inspirational phrase, the latter is a sign of a good used car. When shopping for a used car, it is normal to see dings, scratches, or the occasional putty. Small damages are good for bargaining, but a used car with major damage is much better avoided. Whether or not to go on with the purchase is entirely up to you. This en
A video of Bomba putting out fire on a badly burning car caught our attention recently, but it was not because there is a car on fire, instead it was what happened after that. A Perodua Myvi caused another accident on the highway as he slowed down to watch the Bomba put out the fire of the burning car. In the video, the person holding the camera was focussed on the burning car that the fire brigade was already working put out. But “auntie” unwittingly caught the accident between 2 Perodua Myvis

Facebook: Sharviin Sasasey Manigam ↓↓↓ Press Here To Share Your Story ↓↓↓ It all started when my dad drove home a 2nd-hand bought 2002 Proton Waja.

And straight away I sat in the Waja and started to touch and feel the dashboard and all
A woman whose Toyota Vios was declared a ‘total loss’ in 2019 received a shock when she was issued a summon for an accident that happened a year after her car was scrapped. The woman, known only as Lee, told Free Malaysia Today (FMT) that her Vios was declared beyond repairable and a total loss by both the insurance company and panel repair shop following a serious accident in June 2019. She received RM 45,000 from her insurance provider and moved on from the accident. But the incident came back
Last week a video of a white car losing control and crashing into a barrier at a highway exit went viral. News then quickly spread that the cause of the crash was due to sabotage but the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) has since clarified that the accident was not caused by malice. According to the Subang Jaya district police chief, Asst Comm Risikin Satiman, the accident captured in the video is not a recent event but one that happened on July 17. Risikin clarified that the driver was attempting
I remember making my way back to Kuala Lumpur from Johor Bahru via the North-South Expressway in a Mercedes-AMG GLA 45. Traffic was fairly busy that day and I was maintaining a safe distance with the car in front while swooping past the slower cars in the middle lane. Out of a sudden, a first-generation Toyota Vios merged into the fast lane and came dangerously close to the rear of the Mercedes-AMG GLA 45. Now, before you accuse me of hogging the fast lane, I am moving with the flow of the traff
For many people, buying a car represents something exciting, a coming-of-age of sorts. Of course, the decision process is vastly different from one person to another. Some buy for practical needs, while others, to 'impress' associates or the people around them. Which brings us to the question, is business social image important to you when buying a car? The prestige factor When I was about 8 or 9 years old, I remembered one incident where my dad drove his slightly rusty Mazda 323 hatchback to a
As Malaysians begin their balik kampung journeys, news about highway accidents have started surfacing. Images of an overturned Toyota Caldina surfaced on social media accompanied by captions that 2 injured boys were found pinned down in pain 12 hours after the accident happened. According to authorities, the accident that happened along the Plus Highway near Kulai was caused by a blown rear tyre, which caused the car to crash in a ditch instantly killing the driver, Herry Mohd Ali, and his wife
Looks like the flash flood season is well and truly back. With the flash floods also came the inevitable reports of damaged roads, this particular incident happened in Petaling Jaya and, unfortunately, a Fiat Bravo was caught just when the road was washed apart. The video of the badly damaged road was uploaded on a Facebook page called Pantas MBPJ. As you can see, the road along Jalan SS4A/1 near the Taman Bahagia LRT Station stretches for at least 300 m. MBPJ authorities on the scene have confi

I was already driving the Hyundai Accent 1.5 (Aeroback) 2007 Model. Over the years, I have owned Proton Saga 1.3 (Aeroback), Proton Wira 1.5 (Sedan), Proton Satria1.3, Exora 1.6(MPV), and befor
We’ve seen plenty of accident videos, some can be horrifying while others would tickle our funny bone. One such video features a bunch of makciks (aunties) reacting to an accident between a Perodua Kelisa and Proton Wira has caught the amusement of the internet. Warning: Turn down the volume before playing the video. While gossiping away about their social lives, the aunties encountered a Perodua Kelisa who tried to cut through 3 lanes to make the turn rather than go straight. Ultimately, the Ke
Another horrifying accident has been reported at the same location just one day after reports of a fatal accident between a Toyota Hiace and Perodua Bezza. A Perodua Myvi caught fire after it collided with a Proton X70 along Jalan Saujana Impian yesterday at around 8 am. Selangor Fire and Rescue director (JBPM) director Norazam Khamis told Harian Metro that their department received a call about a burning vehicle at around 8.30 am yesterday. Five officers and one fire truck from the Kajang Fire
There might be an underlying issue along the stretch of road that killed a 75-year-old motorcyclist on Sunday morning as the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has revealed that the stretch of road has been patched up 9 times in the past 4 months. According to a statement made by DBKL, the last time Jalan Tengah was resurfaced was on 26 December 2020 and that maintenance work has been ongoing since September 2020. DBKL also said that the location is under constant monitoring by the council’s Public S
Being locked-up at home is beginning to get to some people, as is proof when this Malaysian driver posted a dashcam footage on Facebook of his near miss with a Molotov cocktail. On a Malaysian highway, no less! The driver was travelling along the Cheras-Kajang Highway when someone decided to hurl the cocktail at his car just as he was passing an overhead bridge. The video footage shows that after missing its target, the Molotov cocktail was seen landing on the road and bursting into flames. A Mo
This wrecked KE70 Toyota Corolla was fished out of the waters near the Sogo shopping mall on Sunday morning. Initial investigations by authorities note that the driver was not at the scene when the car was discovered. The Fire and Rescue Department, along with officers from the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) managed to recover the Corolla at 10.47 am. Authorities had to lift the car out with a winch after a thorough inspection of the situation as the river’s current was very strong after the heav

The infamous Satin Hornet Yellow Proton X50 that lit the internet on fire last year was involved in an accident a couple of days ago. Images of the battered car was uploaded by the owner himself, Lee Jian Xian. The car seems to have absorbed the impact pretty well, and Lee looks relatively unscathed. It's understood that the car hit both left and right highway dividers before coming to a stop, but how the accident happened wasn't disclosed. Though he captioned the post with "Thanks for protectin
After driving for nearly 3,000 kilometres, I would like to share my feelings about Toyota Corolla Cross, top model, Hybrid Premium Safety, Sport, and compare it with the original car. Before Seeing the Real Car When I first saw the picture of it, I began to smile, and I thought that the front was boldly designed. It was a brave decision that the production of this car was approved. As for the rear of the car, it was beautiful, perfect. The old design team must have left, because the latest desig
Unless you drive a pickup truck or an amphibious car, you’re pretty much screwed in the event of a flood. Water can enter the cabin, the engine bay, and the trunk. The damage can be substantial too. Even after you get it fixed up, there still might be some slight odour, hidden rust spots, and the car isn't as fun as it used to be anymore. With that in mind, it is best to avoid a flood-damaged car if you’re shopping for a used car. Some sellers may be honest about the history of the car, while so
By now you've would've seen the video of an accident involving a BMW X5 on the North Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE). In the dashcam video, you can clearly see from the driver's point-of-view, that traffic ahead was braking - easily 200 metres ahead - due to an earlier accident. There were also blue warning lights from a Police patrol bike on the left and a man furiously waving his flashlight on the right. As far as warning signs go, there was ample warning. Still, the driver of the BMW X5 manage
Alongside the launch of the 2020 Mercedes-AMG A45 S and CLA 45, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) also launched the all-new 2020 Mercedes-AMG A35 4Matic. The new entry level Mercedes-AMG is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine and comes with Mercedes me for RM 379,888. Think of the A35 as the less aggressive version of the A45 hatchback. But even though it is an entry level AMG, the 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine is capable of 306 PS and 400 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a 7
The Road Transport Department (JPJ) recently approved the installation of 4 new Automated Awareness Safety System (Awas) cameras near the entry and exit ways of the Menora Tunnel on the North-South Expressway.
