Man lying topless on busy highway exercising goes viral (Video)

PETALING JAYA: The most bizarre video of an unidentified man lying topless on a busy highway exercising while seemingly oblivious to the danger of oncoming traffic, has gone viral.

The incident was confirmed by PLUS Malaysia Berhad, as having taken place at approximately 11.30am on October 4, a report in The Star Online said.

“The PLUS Traffic Monitoring Centre received a call from a highway user notifying the centre about a man lying on his back in the middle of the highway at KM268.2 (northbound) on the North-South Expressway near the Bandar Ainsdale Interchange, Seremban,” PLUS said, adding that he drove off before the PLUSRonda team arrived at the scene.

A video showing his highway exploits however was posted on Facebook on October 20.

In the video, the topless man is seen lying on his back, performing leg lifts and a variety of other stretches while his silver sedan, with its car door left open, is parked on the next lane beside him.

Despite the dangerous situation, both man and car are believed to have been spared any horrific accidents, as motorists slowed down in time to avoid both.

Facebook user Norzuliana binti Zakaria on viewing the video, claimed she had encountered the very same man earlier, tearing down the highway and nearly losing control of his vehicle.

She posted: “This event happened in front of my very eyes, his car was going really fast on the KL-Seremban Highway.”

She said he had cut her off, then lost control of his vehicle which very nearly slammed into the road divider.

She added: “His car spun, and after that he came out of his car and immediately slept on the road. He had no shirt and his body had bruises from cupping.”

She said he was lying on the road for around five minutes, before getting up and driving off. When she overtook him minutes later, he was spotted “casually smoking with his car hazard lights on.”

The video has been viewed close to 800,000 times and shared 6,000 times.
