KUCHING: In coping with the movement control order (MCO), Malaysians have taken their creativity to social media that even Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin was left in awe.
A video that showed a man cycle-racing against a stuffed toy earned specific mention in Muhyiddin’s preamble to the Additional Prihatin Package announcement made in the recent weeks.
The video entitled “Hari ke-17: Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan” (Day 17: Movement Control Order) was produced by a Kuching-born content creator fondly known as Harun. It was uploaded on SukaSuka’s Facebook page a day prior to the announcement and has drawn more than one million views within two weeks.
“I was home alone and my only company was my brother’s toys. So, I shot the video just to have some fun. I didn’t expect it to go viral,” revealed the 26-year-old in a phone interview.
“The idea came to me out of the blue. It seemed easy but as I started recording the scenes, I realised it is actually harder, especially the falling scene. But, now that it is enjoyed by many, the effort is worthwhile,” he added.
Tight competition between Harun and the plush tiger. 
Harun revealed that the falling scene was among the most challenging scenes recorded.
