While many turn a blind eye to litter scattered across public parks, one man recently decided he'd had enough.

In a video posted on TikTok by user @dewaharendran on May 1, the man was seen picking up trash at the parking area of Taiping Lake Gardens. The footage, recorded by his wife, captured him collecting beer bottles, snack wrappers, and other rubbish left behind by irresponsible visitors.

@dewaharendran I cant say our people did it but theres a high chance it was. And if its true , Ill say we are the ones giving chance for others to talk down on us, fueling never ending stereotrypes on the Malaysian Indian community . While sitting in a big geng having fun is tough, being responsible and mature is tougher . Be mindful , respectful, and clean up after . There are better ports to chill and drink with your buddies , public parks just aint one of them. #thanni #carlsberg #hidup original sound - DEWA

"There are better places to chill and drink with your buddies, public parks are not for that," he wrote in the caption. "Be mindful, respectful and clean up after."

His video highlights a growing concern about how some park-goers treat family-friendly spaces. Its not just about drinking in public, it's the careless disregard shown when empty bottles and food packaging are left scattered on the ground.

This kind of behavior not only pollutes the environment but also ruins the experience for other visitors who come to relax and enjoy nature.

Despite the frustration, many commenters were quick to show their support and appreciation for the man's initiative. He was praised for setting an example and showing what it means to care for shared public spaces.
