In Malaysian culture, a common and unspoken practice is playfully arguing over who foots the bill after a meal. Recently, a group of Malaysians took this tradition to a new level, enduring heavy rain to decide who would be the one to pay.

A short TikTok clip from Coach Aizzat, a local volleyball coach, showcased the memorable incident. Dining with friends at a stall in Jijan, Nilai Lama, Seremban, they made a friendly bet – the first one to stand up during the rain would pay for everyone.

Initially thinking the rain would pass quickly, the group turned their meal into a playful competition. However, the drizzle turned into heavy rainfall, soaking them. Despite being thoroughly wet, none of them backed down from the challenge:

The stall owner found their dedication amusing, capturing the spectacle on video. The viral video, which has gained over 2.7 million views, does not reveal who ended up paying the bill.

In the comments section, netizens praised the group’s strong camaraderie, with some reminiscing about similar practices in the past.

However, concerns were raised about their health, with some fearing that sitting in the rain could lead to illness.

A subsequent video addressed this matter, where Coach Aizzat shared that none of them developed a fever despite sitting in the rain, and they even returned to the same stall for a meal later on:

In case you were wondering – no, that video doesn’t mention who covered the expenses for the meal either.
