A family has drawn criticism for trying to transport a three-seater sofa on their car roof at the carpark of Ikea Tampines.

Facebook page SG Road Vigilante posted a video of the incident that occurred on Wednesday night (Nov 17).

In the video, the Citroën C4 is seen trying to exit the carpark with the sofa secured on its roof.

The car's occupants have drawn flak from netizens, who felt that they could have just paid for professional delivery.

One user commented: "Got money spend for the car but no money spend for delivery."

Many also likened the unusual sight to a scene from the Mr Bean television series.

In the iconic scene, the titular character is seen maneuvering his vehicle with a mop while seated on a sofa secured to the car roof.

Netizens - can ignore them. Since spent money on roof racks might as well make full use of them. 

Don't be like me install roof racks for show only.

Is it dangerous? If properly secured then kaypo for what?

Maybe this family come from europe or have been staying there for a long time. Fairly common there, especially among students 🙂

Usually can take up to 100kg. But how did the car exit the IKEA carpark?

The security guards lifted up the carpark height guard on the roof of the carpark exit for the car to go through.

If you see a sofa being thrown off on the road side and discarded, you know who it belonged to.

How can this be safe ? There is a real danger of it falling off while on the road, killing other drivers or motorcyclist. A car is not made to carry a sofa on the roof, that's obvious. This is call penny wise, pound foolish.

It's not everyday you buy sofa, just pay once for transport and forget it, what's so difficult ?

And what's next ? Kitchen cabinet, washing machine, refrigerator ?

Not common to see big items transport on a car roof rack in sg lo, so when people see such thing, sure would make a big fuss de?! So far think the only items that commonly seen on a car roof rack is bicycle.
