KUALA LUMPUR: A video showing a mysterious row of abandoned cars on a roadside in Cyberjaya has gone viral, raising public concern over safety and urban management.
The video, posted by user bioQueen on TikTok, shows the vehicles, some with shattered windows, missing tyres, and stolen headlights, containing large amounts of torn books, tattered clothes, broken electrical appliances, and more items strewn nearby.
“The cars have been abandoned for months.
“The tyres are missing, the windows are broken, the road tax expired years ago, and now there are warning notices from Sepang Municipal Council (MPS).
@bioqueen99 Kereta dah berbulan tersadai. Tayar hilang, cermin pecah, roadtax dah bertahun mati dan sekarang ada Notis Amaran dari MPS. Di mana semua pemiliknya? Apa yang dah berlaku. #bioqueen #keretatersadai #keretasewa ♬ Suspenseful and tense orchestra(1318015) – SoLaTiDo
“Where are all the owners? What has happened?” the video caption reads.
Social media users quickly weighed in, with user AzmiraDzahaimi, a frequent driver along the route, saying the vehicles have been abandoned since the end of June.
“It’s dangerous since cars usually speed along this stretch.
“If it’s at night and someone is unfamiliar with the road, they could easily crash into it,” she added.
Another commenter, @shyshairazi, claimed abandoned vehicles are common in the area, alleging their source to be foreign students.
“Once they’ve finished their studies or their visa expires, they just go back to their home countries and leave things like this.
“At apartments in Cyberjaya, there are lots of abandoned vehicles, motorbikes, and whatnot,” they wrote.
User @morabuzi supported the claim that the cars often belonged to overseas students who left them behind after graduation because they were cheap to purchase in their currency.
Others drew parallels with their own experiences studying abroad where similar incidents occurred.
“Back when my group was studying in the UK, it was the same.
“We wanted to give the car to other students at the housing, but they were all about to leave too.
“In the end, we just left it by the roadside near a forested area,” recalled user iwan Azzam.
Some poked fun at the enforcement consistency, saying they faced more direct actions due to traffic violations in the past.
“What’s puzzling is why the council hasn’t towed these yet… while when we park somewhere briefly, they tow it right away,” wrote user Matt.
