By: Patrick Beech

It was the first day of school blues for many today, especially for the young ones stepping into Standard One.

As usual, schools were filled with excited parents present to send their kids off to school, with many hanging around till classes were over.

For parents, Mohd Fadzil Abu Naim, 41, and Nurul Aini Mohd Olwi, 41, they decided to do something out of the ordinary on their son's first day of school.

Reports in Kosmo revealed that both parents acutally wore white school uniforms, similar to their son to encourage him to go to school.

In the video, other parents were also seen busy giving their kids some last minute encouragement, while others were seen combing their children's hair and so on.

Netizens who viewed the video praised Mohd Fadzil and Nurul Aini for their efforts and said it was indeed a sweet gesture.
