Malaysians can’t get enough of the father’s and son’s antics
In the video’s comments, many Malaysians were amused by the video and found the father and son’s antics to be rather wholesome.
One commenter joked that the fish inside the tank must be stressing out due to the “new species” that decided to join in their habitat.
Meanwhile, one Malaysian said that such an occurrence would only happen when fathers are babysitting, as this is something a mother would never allow their children to do.
Besides that, one commenter was jealous about the father allowing the boy to swim inside the aquarium, saying that if he did something like this when he was younger, he’d sure be scolded by his parents.
Well, to be honest, we’re kinda jealous too seeing how sporting the father is! Nevertheless, it’s important to ensure that everything is safe before allowing anyone to engage in shenanigans such as this okay.
