A CCTV video of a botched arson attempt by two motorcyclists has gone viral on social media, sparking widespread laughter and ridicule among netizens.
The footage shows two accomplices stopping their motorbike in front of a gated house, with one staying by the vehicle while the other attempted to pour flammable liquid inside the property.
However, their execution quickly went wrong. When the liquid was ignited, both the house and the two would-be arsonists were engulfed in flames.
The failed arson attempt immediately caught the attention of Twitter users, who didn’t hold back in making light of the situation.

The viral tweet humorously captioned the video with: “Ah Long interns watch too much DVD, instead of burning the car they set themselves on fire.”
“Ah Long” Reference
For context, “Ah Long” is a Malaysian term used to describe street gangsters, often involved in loan shark activities and other criminal enterprises.
The sarcastic mention of “interns” had social media users questioning the idea of such a concept.
Personally, I didn’t know you could intern as a street gangster, but hey, I could’ve done a better job. Just kidding!
Bro Was Cooked (In The Comments Too!)
The comment section erupted with a variety of responses. Some netizens pointed out the sheer incompetence of the arsonists, remarking that the incident was “instant karma” for engaging in criminal activity.
Others commented, “This is why we should stay in school,” suggesting the failed criminals might have skipped basic lessons in science and chemistry.
Another user quipped, “Ah Long interns didn’t clock enough hours,” while others speculated that these so-called interns had perhaps “failed their basic chemistry class.”
While the incident itself was serious, involving criminal intent, the overwhelming reaction from social media users was one of humor, turning the video into a viral sensation.
