The first day of school is usually nerve-wracking for most students, especially those from Standard One as they will have to step into a whole new environment and be away from their parents. Some may also view school as a scary place brimming with strict teachers and intimidating peers.
While it’s not uncommon for students to yearn running away from school on the first day, most do not have the courage to do so. However, this particular student did the unthinkable and the entire incident was captured in a dramatic video.
Yesterday (March 1), the “Info roadblock JPJ/POLIS” Facebook page posted the video which showed the kid running away from a school located in Pahang.
After making his “escape”, the boy sprinted on an empty road at a speed that would make The Flash ashamed. Although he stopped to look back a few times, he continued to run further until he almost became a tiny speck at the end of the road.
The man behind the camera chased after the boy and tried persuading him to come back, but this only caused him to run even faster.

The wild goose chase finally came to an end when the boy was intercepted by a female motorcyclist, who managed to catch up to him and stopped him from running. Realising that his escape plan had failed, the boy then bursts into tears and was later brought back to his school.
The video has garnered 7k views and almost 6k comments.
The author of the post wrote a sentence that summed up the video in all its glory: “The kid ran really fast.”
One netizen had this advice for the boy: “Kid, be patient in school and wait for the annual cross country run. I believe you will be the champion.”
Another hinted that someone needed to run away in order to fully understand how it felt on the first day of school.
One commented, “What’s with this kid? First day of Standard One and he already wants to fly.”
