KUALA LUMPUR: In a powerful display of parental devotion, a father risked his life by wading through floodwaters to get milk for his son.
A video posted on TikTok by user @misshaa1 shows her husband wading through floodwaters that reached up to his chest.
"Papa crossed chest-deep floodwaters to get milk for our son at home. All the stores were closed, and we had run out of milk and diapers," she wrote.
The video received mixed reactions from netizens, with some praising the father, while others expressed concern for his safety.

Another user @dieyanadia94 wrote: "Why didn't you ask for help from the Civil Defence Department or the fire department to use a boat? It's dangerous to go through deep water like that... the current is strong, and we can't predict it. I hope your husband is safe."
User @shima_rahmad wrote: "Be careful. May Allah protect everyone affected by the flood and ease all their affairs."
Later, in another video, @misshaa1 informed that her husband had safely returned and managed to get some essential items for their child.
"Alhamdulillah, our son can finally drink milk. Thank you to those who prayed for us," she said.
