Tourists in KL band together to lift parked cars blocking their tour bus in viral TikTok video

KL tourists lift cars blocking bus by lifting them

A group of tourists in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, went viral on TikTok after they took matters into their own hands — literally — to clear a path for their bus by lifting and moving several cars with their bare hands.

Parked cars on both sides of a narrow road had made it impossible for their tour bus to pass through.

Instead of waiting for authorities, the tourists decided to handle the situation themselves, impressing viewers online.

Since its upload, the TikTok video of the incident has garnered nearly 145,000 views and more than 3,000 likes.

Poorly parked cars shifted to make way for bus

For each car blocking their path, around 10 tourists stepped off the bus, positioning themselves at the front and rear to lift and shift the vehicle closer to the curb.

The video shows the group moving at least three different cars in this manner.

According to WeirdKaya, the bus owner said the incident happened at Bukit Kiara, near Mont Kiara Golf Club.

The tourists were reportedly part of a golf crew from Australia.

One of the group members initially went down to assess if the bus could squeeze through. When it became apparent that was not possible, he called his friends down, and they began moving the cars.

Netizens comment on poor parking

The video’s popularity sparked discussions among netizens, with many disappointed at the poor parking that led to the tourists’ drastic measure.

One user jokingly suggested that the tourists should have simply flipped the car over, instead of taking the time to shift it in place.

Translation: Since there are so many of you, why not just lift one side until it flips over? Then the owner can figure out how to fix it.

Other users questioned the lack of police presence, suggesting authorities should enforce stricter parking regulations in the area.
