With excitement comes inevitable feelings of longing and sadness for school children who are unable to see their friends, particularly if one of them is about to change schools.
Moved by her son's sadness at having to switch schools, TikToker Norashikin Din fulfilled his request to give presents to his schoolmates before the year-end break, as they would be parting ways due to his son's transfer to a new school next year.
@nurashikindin Perpisahan Abg Hafiz Harith dengan kawan-kawan sekolah dia . Dia request nak bagi hadiah untuk kawan kawan dia. Momydady turuti je. Sebak , sedih kami laki bini haa.

Thus, on the last day of school, Harith's friends were seen receiving Smiggle gift bags. Even Harith's beloved teachers were seen receiving presents from his parents. The video, which garnered millions of views, naturally elicited various reactions from netizens.
Some offered prayers for the family's prosperity, while others expressed differing opinions. However, Norashikin stated that she accepted all feedback with an open heart, as she and her husband had faced many challenges to reach this point.
"Some criticize. I accept it with an open heart. My husband and I have struggled in life. Criticism is nothing new to us."
Meanwhile, some praised the mother's generosity in gifting the children with Smiggle items, allowing them to experience using expensive products. Each person's sustenance may come in different forms; this might be her way of 'giving,' and we all give according to our abilities.
