An amusing video has left Malaysians in stitches recently, showing the super creative way passengers of a Perodua Kancil in Lahad Datu, Sabah overcame the problem of the car’s broken turn signal indicators.
Shared by @icecoldfreezzy on TikTok, the video has garnered over 104,900 views and more than 8,400 likes as of the time of writing.
Using smartphone lights as ‘manual’ car blinkers
In the video recorded from inside a vehicle at night time, the Kancil can be seen driving on a dark road while the front and rear passengers stick their hands outside.
All the passengers were also holding their smartphones with the lights turned on while doing so, with the reason they were doing this being revealed a few seconds into the video.
Get this, they were actually using the smartphones as ‘manual’ turn signal indicators due to the actual turn signal indicators on the Kancil no longer working.
The passengers then hilariously swayed their hands in the air with the smartphones lights turned on like in a concert to show which direction the car was going.
In the caption, @icecoldfreezzy revealed that the driver and passengers of the Kancil are friends, asserting,
“The story of friendship… Ups and downs together”

Malaysians amused by the friend group’s out-of-the-box solution
In the comments section, many Malaysians were amused by the friend group’s creative way of overcoming the car’s broken turn signal indicators.
One commenter praised them for making the effort to show other road users where they’re going with the ‘manual signal’, unlike other drivers out there who have functioning turn signals but don’t use them.
Meanwhile, several commenters said that the ‘manual signal’ is rather confusing as it seems like their hand motions are simultaneously showing left and right.
So, what do you guys think of the video? Share your thoughts with us in the comments!
