A driver in Perlis learnt this lesson the hard way when a powerbank in his car exploded, igniting a fire that destroyed parts of the vehicle, as reported by Sinchew yesterday.
The incident happened at around 11.45am in the town of Kangar.
Thankfully, quick-thinking passers-by prevented the fire from spreading to other parts of the vehicle
According to a witness who declined to be named, he saw thick smoke emanating from the car's windows. He peeked in and saw a powerbank on the front seat on fire.
With the help of other passers-by, they splashed water through a small opening of the window to put out the fire.
