7-Year-Old M'sian Boy Buys Jewellery For 10 Of His Teachers For Teachers’ Day
The idea came from the boy’s mum and his shopping spree has since gone viral.
Teachers, what did you get from your students for Teachers’ Day?
For 10 lucky teachers in Kuala Lumpur, they received glittery bracelets from seven-year-old Hafiy Hadeef.
Unlike Singapore, which celebrates Teachers' Day on Aug 31, Malaysia observes theirs on May 16.
In a video that has been viewed more than 3.1mil times, Hafiy was seen accompanied by his father to jewellery store Habib Jewelers.
As the video panned to the various pieces of jewellery on display, Hafiy was seen waiting patiently as the store staffers wrapped up his chosen bracelets.
“Teachers’ Day gifts from Hafiy Hadeet for his teachers, all 10 of them,” wrote the boy’s mum.
In an interview, Hafiy’s mum said the idea came from her after he shared that he wanted to get something special for his teachers to celebrate Teachers’ Day.
She went on to reveal that Hafiy was also considering buying three more bracelets for the canteen makciks though they convinced him to save it for the future.
We wonder what Hafiy’s classmates were thinking when he presented the gifts to his 10 chosen teachers yesterday.
Or… What went through the minds of their colleagues?
Though comments were disabled on the original video, there was a tsunami of comments in reposted videos.
While many netizens praised the parents for bringing up such a thoughtful child, some felt the family was just showing off.
“All respect thrown out the window with such a display online,” said a netizen.
