The person holding the sign then said that hitchhiking is easy and they would have no problems getting a ride.

The camera then panned to show the road as well as clouds gathering above them, signalling rain was expected soon.

The person recording then said that they didn’t have a place to stay where they were, though they might have 1 option, which was a bit expensive.

Despite waiting for around 1 minute, no one stopped to give them a ride, with the video ending after several vehicles passed them by.

The foreign travel content creators defend their decision to hitchhike

In the comments section, many Malaysians dubbed the foreign content creators as ‘begpackers’ and criticised them for not having proper travel plans while in our country.

One commenter told them not to travel if they don’t have money, to which they replied, “Bro go out and do something fun. Life is not about money always,”.

Meanwhile, another commenter said that they faced this problem because they travelled without money, to which the content creators said that they had no problem hitchhiking. 

Besides that, one commenter said that this is the foreigners’ trick to save some money as Malaysians are too kind and will always help out.
