Despite global reports that more people died from taking selfies than from shark attacks, it appears that Malaysians are still going the extra length to capture a “killer shot”.
The latest case happened on Saturday evening when a motorcyclist stood on the guardrail at Penang Bridge to take a selfies with his friends.
“One of them stood on the guardrail with a selfie stick, while the rest were standing on the emergency lane posing for picture,” said tow truck service runner Tan Chin Leong, who rides his motorcycle across the Penang Bridge daily.
“There were about eight or nine of them. They headed towards the island after a while.”
The picture of the selfie was posted on Facebook, drawing flak from the public.
“He could have drowned,” said a Facebook user known as Shah Gsr, adding that the man could have fallen off the bridge if there was strong wind.
