What a Bunch of Gold‑Hooves Beat the Pedals on Johor Bahru!
The Scene of a Stubborn Stallion
Yesterday, on the 9th of February, a surfer of steam‑birrins rode the Johor Bahru Eastern Dispersal Link Expressway. She was just cruising, minding herself, when a massive equine burst onto the highway like a runaway carousel. The horse galloped, fur flying, down the lanes, leaving traffic owners to wish for a stallion seat belt. Zhuan Jau, a keen observer, grabbed her phone and filmed the scene—because apparently “horse on the road” is the new viral trend.
Who’s the Unstoppable Neigh‑Ninja?
We’re still missing the horse’s itinerary: was it heading to the wedding? chasing a mango tree? did it just get lost on the GPS? That’s the mystery, same as when you find a stray cat with a backpack in a supermarket. In any case, it has become a sortable tale in the Malaysian animal‑road‑crazed saga.
Past Highway Shenanigans
- June 2016: An ostrich snatched a sprint down the Federal Highway.
- Later that year: A horse in Kelantan’s Kota Baru practically set the road on fire.
- Another moment: A cow sliced through the traffic lanes — making commuters feel like they’d stepped into a 3‑D “Farm‑Tot‑Go” movie.
- And if you thought pigs were docile, one took leisurely strolls on a street like it was the promenade of “Thunderegg” (No, that’s a different place!).
The “Free Zoo”‑Says Option
Because the road animals keep popping up, the internet got loud about Malaysia becoming a “free zoo”. “Jumanji” is the name that pops in every comment, because apparently everyone thinks the country has turned their highways into jungle thrill rides.
So if you’re driving in Malaysia these days, remember: your highway could turn into a safari path. Keep your eyes on the road, your instinct on the lookout, and maybe practice a “stop, strike, scream” sprint maneuver—just in case a horse decides to join the parade.
