SINGAPORE: In a surprising turn of events, a woman recently made headlines for her jaw-dropping traffic antics at the Johor Bahru checkpoint.

This incident follows a viral moment in September where another 'traffic heroine' garnered attention for her unconventional method of navigating a jam.

The Incident

On the evening of October 31, just after 9 PM, as public holiday traffic clogged the Second Link, this unidentified woman was filmed standing resolutely with her back against a car to facilitate the entry of two Singapore-registered vans into the desired lane at the checkpoint.

Her bold stance and Superman-like pose, arms akimbo, left onlookers both amused and outraged.

Public Reaction

Facebook user Dannis Chua shared the extraordinary footage, which shows the woman enduring a cacophony of honks from the car behind her, all while she waves off the driver, signaling the vans to advance.

Chua’s post highlighted the amusing yet frustrating scene, coining it as 'Human Body Blocking Cars.'

Mixed Responses

Social media reactions were mixed; many viewers expressed disbelief at the woman's behavior, deeming it reckless.

One playful commenter suggested that being accompanied by a quick-thinking partner or parent might be the ticket to a smoother trip.

Police Confirmation

According to reports from China Press, Malaysian police confirmed the incident, noting the woman was indeed stopping traffic specifically for the Singaporean vans—a situation that drew significant attention due to the congested traffic that typically ensues during public holidays.

Clarification by Chua

Chua later clarified that his motive in posting the video was a gentle reminder for all drivers, particularly those from Singapore, to use turn signals when changing lanes.

He emphasized that courteous communication on the road can often lead to smoother interactions among drivers.

Company's Statement

Interestingly, Must Share News reported that the company owning the vans clarified that the body blocking woman had no association with their vehicles—further igniting speculation and conversation around this dramatic highway spectacle.
