Whenever we leave for another country either for work or study, we would usually be accompanied and sent off by family and close friends at the airport.
For a group of Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) students leaving for Seoul to further their studies, they were sent off with a throng of screaming and cheering spectators in a now-viral clip.
Thousands of M’sians cheer for MARA students at KLIA
In the 51-second video posted by @pokya_124 on TikTok on Sunday (Jan 5), it showed thousands of Malaysians crowded at Terminal 1 of the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).
On both sides of the foyer on top of the Departure Hall, family members, friends, and fellow classmates of the MARA students cheered and screamed with joy at the top of their lungs while the cohort made their way down the escalator.
Some of the MARA students were seen waving back at the crowd with huge smiles on their faces while others looked a bit bewildered, perhaps taken aback by the unusually loud send-off.
According to the OP in the comment section, there were a total of 106 MARA students who travelled to Seoul, South Korea, to pursue their degree for the next four years after finishing their foundation studies at UniKL.
‘Like watching a football match’
The clip has since garnered over 260,000 views at the time of writing and netizens were in awe of the number of people who turned up at the airport to send the students off.
They also likened the scene to a “football match” or “sending an artiste off”.
Many also congratulated the MARA students for having the opportunity to study in Korea and wished them all the best.
