Every year, the abang bomba (firefighters) are known to steal the show at the Merdeka Parade, and this year was no different.
But this time, it wasn’t just the abang bomba who had everyone talking—it was the ‘Sapu Dance’ that took center stage.
Performers dressed as street sweepers, complete with brooms, danced to a catchy song that explicitly mentioned “cuci rasuah” (cleaning up corruption), adding a powerful and symbolic layer to their routine.
@cikk.ejaa JAUHI RASUAH ! seronok pulak tengok dieorg #cucirasuah #merdeka #raptai #harikebangsaan2024 #dataranputrajaya #kemerdekaan #fypシ゚viral #fyp ♬ bunyi asal – cikk Ejaa
What made this performance even more memorable was a TikTok user, @nonieeeeee, who paired the dance with NSYNC song “Bye Bye Bye,” famously used in the Deadpool movie, perfectly matching the energy of the performance.

The combination hit just the right note with viewers.
The symbolic dance added a fun and meaningful twist to the patriotic celebration, capturing the hearts of many in the crowd.
