A boy's farewell gift to his school teacher was not the usual roses or mugs. It was a piece of jewellery said to worth over RM30,000 from a renowned local brand.
This was depicted in a TikTok video posted by user, farahwen, of her son named Ali going to the last day of school bearing a surprise for his teacher.

The video came with the caption that the saddest part for Ali was saying goodbye to his teacher as he hugged her and presented her with a bouquet of flowers.
However, Ali's gift for his teacher did not stop at just flowers. They had made a purchase for a piece of jewellery priced at more than RM30,000 for her. "We got a little surprise for her. He learnt so much this year because of you. You will be forever in his heart as his first teacher," wrote farahwen.
It moved on to show Ali holding a paper bag bearing the gift and delivering the surprise to his teacher. The video posted yesterday has gained 1.8 million views so far.
