A tearful reunion at KLIA

This time round, a Malaysian named Malik who wasn’t able to return home due to travel restrictions for the past two years came back to the greatest surprise of his life at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).

According to TikToker @akupeduliofficial, the video was initially supposed to document his own brother’s return but it captured the touching scene instead.

Upon seeing his wife and children, including another son at the airport, Malik could no longer hold back his emotions and dropped to his knees in gratefulness while shedding tears.

Only knew of his wife’s pregnancy while away

In a separate video, Malik explained to @akupeduliofficial that he had decided to quit his job a year and a half ago and head to Singapore for work.

“When I departed, I did not know that my wife was pregnant with our second child. It wasn’t until when I was in Singapore that I was informed about it,” he said.

However, he was unable to return to his hometown in Rawang and witness the birth of his son after the borders were closed due to the pandemic.
