M'sia lorry ferries motorcyclists & their bikes across flooded highway in JB

The monsoon surge has affected not just Singapore but Johor as well with Johor Bahru being the worst affected.

Amidst the displacement and evacuation however, one heartwarming image has since emerged on social media — a video clip of a truck ferrying many motorcyclists across flooded roads.

Footage of the moment was shared to social media.

Many of the motorcyclists could be seen waving and filming the moment in the video clip.

At least one of the motorcyclists also appeared to be a delivery rider.

Many Facebook users praised the lorry driver in the comment section.

Sin Chew speculated that the driver might have done it to help the roughly 20 motorcyclists cross the flooded highway.

Sin Chew also said the video was likely filmed at the Tebrau Highway in Johor Bahru, as a sign pointing towards Woodlands could be seen in the background.
