Posted on Nov 6, a 10-second video captioned, "Not gonna lie that's some engineer-level improvisation" had garnered more than 113,200 views, 6,308 reactions and 62 comments at press time.

'Finally an innovation that works': Netizen
While it was unclear where the setup was placed or who was responsible for it, one netizen suggested that it was around Kovan.
"Conclusion: don't need scholars to come up with solutions that work," one user remarked.
Another lamented: "And when they change these to touch screens… you can't do this anymore."
One cheeky commenter suggested dropping the pole on the ground so that no one could press the button anymore.
