A video showing manhole covers on Jalan Masjid India bouncing up and down during a heavy downpour has gone viral on TikTok
The 21-second clip, posted by TikTok user Lakshmi Karthick, shows a couple of extremely heavy cement manhole covers being lifted and shifted by the force of water surging beneath them.
In the caption, she warned people to be cautious when walking around the famous tourist spot, especially since a recent sinkhole appeared and swallowed a tourist alive.
