The 12-second clip shows a path that stops at the edge of a drain. The cyclist, taken aback, says in Malay: "What is this? Is it telling me to jump in?"

Netizens amused at sight

Some netizens found the situation humorous, with one commenting: "When you're trying to have a healthy lifestyle, but life said no."

Another said: "The silence then the crashout is valid."

Others empathised with the original poster's frustration, criticising the design of the path. "Totally speechless at how they made this path," one added.

One netizen reported seeing similar paths that led to nowhere, while others quipped that it might be meant for people who wanted to fish in the drain.

"Maybe it's a sign you should take a leap of faith," another joked.
