It might look cute and amusing, and the elephants are probably more curious than aggressive, but that’s easy to say if you’re not in the car that’s ‘under inspection’ by the giants. A dashcam video online shows exactly that, a herd of elephants surrounding a Perodua Bezza on the East-West Highway connecting Gerik to Jeli.
The herd, which had around seven members including a few young ones, were crossing the road. The Bezza had stopped to let them pass, but a few elephants surveyed the scene and some of the bigger ones then came over to ‘say hello’, nudging and moving the car. They look friendly, but what do we know?
Eventually, the gang continued their journey and no human or animal was harmed in the incident, although the car probably had a few scars from the encounter.
What should motorists do, or rather, not do when encountering wildlife such as elephants? Gerik police chief Zulkifli Mahmood advised those travelling along the East-West Highway to exercise extra caution.
“Road users should avoid provoking the animals and instead maintain a safe distance. If they encounter elephants, the following safety steps should be taken: stop the vehicle, allow the elephants to pass, avoid honking, refrain from using high-beam lights, and do not engage in any provocative actions that could put themselves in danger,” he said in a statement yesterday. Stay cool, basically.

Bulan, the Malayan tiger, lay silently by the roadside, his sleek body blending seamlessly with the shadows of the jungle. The world moved on, the hum of distant vehicles barely reaching him as he observed with keen amber eyes, unseen and unnoticed. He had learned to watch the strange world of humans from a distance, never venturing too close, always staying just out of sight. The road was a foreign place, but it was close enough to stir his curiosity.
As time passed, the road grew busier. The sounds of engines grew louder, the rhythm of the vehicles faster and more relentless. The jungle seemed far away, its familiar sounds replaced by the sharp noise of human activity. Bulan remained still, the instinct to watch overpowering his caution. But in that moment of hesitation, a vehicle came speeding around the bend, too quick for him to retreat. The crash was sudden—metal and rubber collided with his body, a painful, crushing blow that sent him sprawling lifelessly across the pavement. The driver, unaware of what had just occurred, sped away into the distance. By the time the road fell silent again, Bulan, the Malayan tiger, lay as another forgotten casualty of the clash between nature and progress.
