KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 1 — A man caused a 30-minute traffic jam when he dozed off while waiting for the traffic light to turn green in Penang.

Thankfully for the assistance of actor Zizan Razak and a group of caring Malaysians, the driver was awakened after one of them managed to break a quarter glass at the rear window of the vehicle with a hammer.

In a post on his Instagram at @zizanrazak869, Zizan wrote he was on his way to work and stumbled upon the car, a BMW, and the driver at Jalan Sungai Pinang to Persiaran Karpal Singh.
