A car caught fire after the driver of another vehicle parked beside it performed a flaming exhaust stunt during a car show at a shopping mall parking lot in Klang, Selangor, on Sunday (21 Dec).
In a video circulating on social media, the driver of a black car revs the engine several times before flames shoot from its exhaust pipe.
However, the flames travelled on the concrete behind another car, eventually causing it to catch fire.
