A statue being transported upright on the back of a lorry has caught the attention of netizens, with some saying that it was especially eerie as it was during the Hungry Ghost Festival.
The unusual image was shared by Roads.sg on Facebook on Tuesday (1 Sept), showing a lorry travelling along an underground road or expressway.
At the back of the vehicle, a large statue could be seen standing upright among other items.
The three passengers sitting alongside the statue at the back of the lorry appeared relaxed and nonchalant.
The figure also appeared to be covered in white from head to toe, making it resemble a person standing at the rear of the lorry.
Roads.sg captioned the post: “Hungry ghost month and you deliver statue like this?”
The two accompanying photos showed the unusual sight from two different angles, with the first image showing the statue from the side.

A second photo of the lorry from the front also made the figure appear more intimidating, given the fact that it was during the seventh lunar month.
The unusual sight also prompted some netizens to make comparisons to supernatural figures.
A netizen who saw the post said: “This one looks like pocong.”
A pocong is a ghost from Indonesian and Malay folklore traditionally depicted wrapped tightly in a white burial shroud.

A Facebook user was also thankful that it was spotted inside a “brightly lit tunnel” instead of a dark road.

A spooked commenter simply wrote, “scary lah”, before adding a ghost emoji for good measure.

Another netizen also joked that it could be a mobile “Mazu”, the Chinese sea goddess of safe passage and protection.
However, they later speculated that it was highly likely a “Chang’e” statue (goddess of the Moon) instead, as the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.
