KUALA LUMPUR: A video showing two Malaysians using a length of string to manually operate the windscreen wipers during a moment of emergency, has netizens praising them for their creativity and innovation.
In a video posted on TikTok by @harithidham6, a driver and passenger are seen using a thin rope to manually control the windscreen wipers, pulling the rope through the open window to move the wipers back and forth.
It can be seen that it is raining, and the caption humorously said such emergency ideas can be helpful.

User @Qaiser Aqil Rayyan 4646 said "oh no, that must be a fishing line, hahaha! Otherwise, how would it even be in the car?"
Another user @kazz said "is the wiper broken? I hope everything goes smoothly for you all."
@far@h said "poor thing. Wipe the windscreen because there is no air-conditioner, and this is even worse."
@sitifathanahzaina85 added "I have experienced that before while coming back from Sepang."
@eipan said to enhance the visibility, "Use wax for the windscreen, brother!" he said.
