Family stuck in a lift during Hari Raya
On Monday (9 May), Nina Yush, aka @nina_vuiu took a video of her family getting stuck in a lift before a Hari Raya outing in a TikTok video.
As the lift could fit 13 persons, her family of 11 thought it would be okay to squeeze into it from the twelfth floor.

Hope family managed to salvage their Hari Raya
It is a bit alarming to get stuck in a lift when you are getting prepared to go visiting. Thankfully, the incident did not escalate to something more serious and was quickly resolved by technicians.
We hope this family had a joyous Hari Raya outing despite the hiccup in their plans. Perhaps for next year’s celebrations, they might want to split up when taking the lift.
