A cheeky Malaysian boy recently went viral for pulling off a hilarious move—bringing the family’s TV remote to school after being prohibited from watching television at home.
The incident came to light when a concerned parent messaged the boy’s teacher via WhatsApp, asking her to check his school bag.
The parent suspected their son had taken the remote control with him to school after being banned from using it at home.
As expected, the teacher’s inspection revealed the boy had indeed tucked the remote in his bag, keeping it like a prized possession.
The story, shared on X by @ricxxxkiddo on Sept 4, was accompanied by a photo of the grinning child holding up the remote proudly, as if declaring victory.
The post’s cheeky caption read, “If I can’t watch TV, then nobody else will.”

The comments section is filled with humorous reactions to the situation, where users playfully criticize the parents for overreacting.
Some suggest that the parents could have simply waited for their child to come home instead of involving the teacher.
