In Penang, a delivery rider recently faced a tough battle with Malaysian weather's rising heat, which has been unbearable lately. 

After presumably hours of riding under the blazing sun, the delivery rider collapsed from exhaustion on a sidewalk. The timing couldn't have been worse, as it happened during the day in Ramadan, a time of fasting, which only added to his fatigue.

The incident unfolded on the 23rd along Bishop Street, where the rider was found lying motionless on the sidewalk. Passersby grew concerned, witnessing the distressing scene.

A kind-hearted restaurant employee rushed to help, attempting to wake the rider by splashing water on his face. Despite their efforts, the rider remained unresponsive, causing even more anxiety among those present.

Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, the restaurant employee wasted no time in calling for emergency help. Paramedics arrived swiftly and, after assessing the situation, determined that the rider had simply passed out from sheer exhaustion. A video of the incident went viral on xiaohongshu.com.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by delivery riders, who brave the elements daily to make ends meet. Remember to be nice to your abang rider!
