When it comes to cars, most people think of horsepower, sleek designs, or even the latest tech gadgets.
But one man in Sungai Petani, Kedah, has taken car customisation to a whole new level, turning his Proton Saga into a dazzling piece of art that’s lighting up social media.
M’sian man decorates Proton Saga with jewellery and figurines
Thanks to a viral TikTok post by @jan_absober, Uncle’s car is now internet famous. Imagine a Proton Saga that’s had a head-on collision with a jewellery store, and you’re halfway there.
This car isn’t just decorated; it’s decked out like it’s going to the Met Gala.
We’re talking brooches, shirt buttons, chains, bracelets, beads, artificial flowers, keychains, flags, animal figurines—if it’s shiny, it’s probably on that car.
Uncle’s hobby? Turning his car into the ultimate showstopper.
In the TikTok video, he’s seen proudly showing off his masterpiece to Jan and a friend, like a kid with a brand-new toy. He’s got accessories on every nook and cranny, even under the hood!
Of course, this bedazzled ride raised some eyebrows. Netizens couldn’t help but wonder if JPJ (the Road Transport Department) had a thing or two to say about it.
But Uncle’s got it covered—literally and figuratively. He explained that he had a chat with JPJ and got their blessing.
Plus, Jan shared about it in the comments: Uncle doesn’t actually drive this shiny spectacle around town; it stays parked at home as a fancy piece of decor.
Jan shared with WeirdKaya how he stumbled upon this unique creation:
“It was just a coincidence that I passed by and saw the uncle’s car parked in front of his house. I stopped to take a look because his car looked so unusual.”
The comments section was flooded with people loving Uncle’s creativity.
One user wrote, “There are even school uniform buttons.”
Another commented, “Anything could be a hobby.”
A third chimed in, “Different hobbies… as long as they satisfy oneself.”
