So What Happened?
Ceddy, who was on his way to Genting, had his plans thwarted by the pothole.
With the punctured tyre, there was nothing for him to do but wait for the tow truck.
It was while waiting that he decided to take to social media to share about what happened to him.
He also shared about the incident on Instagram.
Ceddy shared a photo of the condition of his car’s tyre which had burst and was torn, as well as a screenshot of its location in Google Maps.
He also mentioned that this problem must be taken seriously.
“Please don’t take this as ‘only when an influencer experiences it, the issue goes viral’, the problem is very serious. Some people say someone hit the hole and fell off the motorcycle. Now I don’t know who is responsible around here.
“Look at my tire tearing and bursting,” he said in his tweet.
Please don’t take this as “Wah influencer kena baru korang nak viralkan” masalahnya, ini amat serious ya. Ada orang kata dia terlanggar pothole tu dan jatuh dari motor.
