We are taking the opportunity to honor the precious paternal bond between father and child. To celebrate this bond, here are five fun-loving ways these Malaysian fathers spend quality time with their little ones on TikTok!

As a reminder that children grow up so fast, we must do our best to document our memories with them. Dato’ Fazley Yaakob plays an even bigger, full-time role besides being a star Malaysian chef, singer, and actor – a father to three sweet, rambunctious little ones. Dato’ Fazley understands the importance of making indelible memories count and takes time to film candid moments with his adorable munchkins, to the delight of his followers!
2. Participating in Trending Challenges with Aeril Zafrel (@aerilzafrel8)
One sure-fire way to spend quality time with your kids is to get them involved in creating videos, like the trending challenges you see on TikTok!
