KUALA LUMPUR: A man's heartfelt gesture of buying a car to take his mother on special "dates" has captivated netizens, showing his deep love for her.
In a TikTok video shared by @casperketu, the man is seen guiding his mother from her apartment, holding her hand as they approach his new car for their outing.
Initially puzzled about where he was taking her in the parking lot — since they usually ride his motorcycle — his mother's expression shifts to one of pride as he reveals the car.
Before helping her into the new sedan, he removes her motorcycle helmet, kisses her forehead, and is playfully punched by his mother in a lighthearted display of their close bond.
Accompanied by a touching song, the video's caption reveals that until now, his mother could only dream of owning a car.
Now, she can enjoy daily rides, having even worn a helmet in anticipation of their usual motorcycle trips, as they can finally escape the rain.
The video has amassed 582,700 views and 74,800 likes, warming the hearts of netizens who admire the young man's unwavering efforts to bring joy to his mother.
User @hoikecik commented: "I am riding on your happiness; I can imagine how happy you must be in your heart," while @sy4tull expressed, "I felt so touched watching this."
Another user, @pian_1205, shared: "Without noticing, I started crying while watching this as I also wish to bring my parents in a car I bought with my own sweat and tears, but I still haven't gotten the chance yet."
