Potholes on the road are a serious hazard that can pose a substantial risk of damaging your vehicle or worse, causing road accidents.

Just recently, the Johor Bahru Sessions Court awarded RM721,000 to a Malaysian motorcyclist who suffered injuries after hitting a pothole due to a company’s failure to maintain the road.

Risking his life on the busy road, the man then went to the hole and put the tree branch inside of it to warn road users, especially motorcyclists of there being a hazardous pothole there.

Incredibly, the deep hole could fit almost the entirety of the relatively long tree branch, which goes to show the danger that the pothole poses to road users.

Malaysians praised the good samaritan and questioned where the relevant authorities were

In the comments section, Malaysians praised and thanked the man for his selfless action and questioned where the relevant authorities were in dealing with the deep hole.

One commenter asked where the Works Department (JKR) was and sarcastically questioned whether they couldn’t see the giant hole on the road.

Meanwhile, another commenter said that the deep hole posed a serious danger to motorcyclists and thanked the good samaritan for his efforts to put the tree branch as a warning to other road users.

Besides that, one commenter said that the hole would soon be a sinkhole, while another praised the man and hoped that he will be bestowed with good health.
