The schoolboy was impressing his classmate with his sweet dance moves with his friends cheering him on

The classmates were heard singing the Chinese version of the birthday song to their Malay friend, who looked like the only Malay student in class, with her reacting in laughter and shyly covering her face at her classmate's affectionate gesture.

"This is how we should live in this country" — Malaysians fawned over the adorable interaction, and praised the friendship that was built regardless of background

"It's situations like this that we have to preserve. Harmony in every setting. We should be proud to be born in Malaysia," one user commented.

One said, "Reminds me of those PETRONAS advertisements where the Chinese kid has a crush on the Malay kid", possibly in reference to the heart-swelling ad, Tan Hong Ming In Love by Yasmin Ahmad.

One TikTok user suggested that the boy may have got his charm from his parents.

"This boy's dad probably danced in front of his mum every time his mum sulks right?"

Another even asked for future updates from the admin of the video, "If (I) live long, I'm asking the admin to post their story when they're grown up."
