Young boy steps in to direct traffic after traffic light fails in Puchong

A young boy has drawn praise online after he was spotted directing traffic at a busy junction in Taman Tasik Prima, Puchong, following a traffic light malfunction on the night of Jan 22.

The incident occurred at around 9pm, when the boy, wearing a reflective vest, stood in the middle of the junction and used hand signals to guide vehicles from different directions.
