Hang in there!

The driver is reportedly unharmed from the incident

Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Chief Assistant Commissioner Zulkefly Yahya said the case is being investigated under Rule 10 LN166/59 of the Road Traffic Rules 1959, reported Sinar Harian.

Photos and videos of the incident have since gone viral on Facebook

A post uploaded by Info Roadblock JPJ/POLIS has garnered over 1,100 shares and 6,000 reactions in less than a day.
A 38-second video showed a crane was used to pull the Myvi out of the sinkhole.
The Myvi suffered some damage to the front bumper and the skirts.

However, some of the public took this into a meme challenge.

New sinkhole opens up in Kuala Lumpur about 50m from where tourist fell

KUALA LUMPUR – A second sinkhole has appeared on Kuala Lumpur’s Jalan Masjid India, just about 50 metres from where the ground opened up on Aug 23 and swallowed an Indian tourist – heightening fears about the safety of the popular area.

The new collapse reportedly occurred at around 2.30am on Aug 28, following a storm the previous night.

The area has been cordoned off by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).

On Aug 23, Ms Vijayalakshmi, a 48-year-old Indian tourist from Kuppam, in Andhra Pradesh, was walking on Jalan Masjid India when the ground suddenly caved in beneath her. She plummeted eight metres into the hole and disappeared.

Efforts to locate her have thus far proved futile.

Search and rescue operations were called off on Tuesday due to heavy rain. But on Wednesday, operations to locate Ms Vijayalakshmi were back in full swing, with the police, Fire and Rescue Department, DBKL and Civil Defence Force personnel at the scene.

The officer in charge of the Dang Wangi police district, Assistant Commissioner Suliezmy Affendy Sulaiman, confirmed the latest sinkhole incident.

Discussions are ongoing to extend the public road closure at Jalan Masjid India, he said.

  • Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven

    Japan is weird. I love it (Part 6)

    Fireflies. Not a topic I think about often, if at all, but here we are.  On a recent podcast episode, I learnt that the light that fireflies emit is nearly 100% efficient. That's amazing (nature generally is). And it is precisely the study of fireflies (and their light) that has allowed the development of more efficient LED lights.  On a whim, I did a bit of extra Googling, and lo and behold, Japan pops up once more, with yet another culturally-unique eccentricity.  In Japan, ther

    Sgcarmart Explores: Japan Edition (ft. the Nissan Ariya)!

    The approach of the year-end holidays often also means the annual pilgrimage Singaporeans take to Japan to soothe their souls after a long year will soon kick into high season. (Just open any of your social media applications - Instagram, Facebook or TikTok - and you'll see.) For the many amongst us who can spare neither the financial expense nor the time, however, there's no reason to fret. Allow the mind some space to wander, and one will find there are many places on our sunny island tha
