Do you still remember how nerve-wrecking it was during the first day of school? It was the time where kids would usually cry for their parents as they were too scared to leave their side.
A young girl has recently left the Internet and Malaysians in tears after a photo of her comforting her classmate who was too nervous to attend school with a simple gesture went viral.

In a Facebook post shared by a primary school located in Kajang called SJKC Yu Hua yesterday (Mar 11), an anonymous parent shared the story which led up to the touching scene.
According to the caption, it was the first day of school and there were many parents who were both excited and worried as they dropped their kids off.
The OP then noticed a Malay Standard 1 girl standing at the school gate with her eyes filled with tears. Though her mother tried to encourage her to step into the premise, the young girl remained hesitant.
At that moment, a Chinese Standard 1 student appeared. Though she looked equally timid, she mustered up the courage, held the Malay girl’s hand, and silently accompanied her as they walked towards the area where the other students were lining up.
“Although not much words were exchanged between them, yet there was still a sense of warmth in their companionship on this new learning journey,” wrote the parent.
The parents then ended the post by saying that the scene deeply touched her and allowed her to experience “the power of love and acceptance”.
‘This is truly Malaysia!’
The post has since garnered over 5,000 reactions at the time of writing, where netizens were left teary-eyed by the photo of the girl’s touching gesture.
‘This is truly the Malaysia that I know.’
‘This is what we want to see for our lovely Malaysia.’
One netizen expressed hope in seeing the two girls becoming lifelong friends as the photo will serve as a precious memory for them to reminisce on in the future.
