Encased in a plexiglass box decorated with balloons, a bright yellow Porsche 718 Cayman was gifted to a woman by her parents on her 21st birthday in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. 
Presented to their daughter while she was at work on Nov. 2, a disco remix of “Happy Birthday” song blared from nearby speakers in English and Mandarin as the car was delivered on the back of a truck. The plexiglass case also featured the message, “Dear daughter, Happy birthday to you, You are always the best in the hearts of your father and mother! Love you,” reported The Online Citizen
Initially shared on Nov. 2 by car dealer Alex Chen, who supplied the car, the video and story quickly caught wind, going viral with Sinchew Daily, a Malaysian Chinese-language newspaper, covering the event soon after.
In response to the flashy presentation of her gift, the daughter was reportedly embarrassed and hid her face in her hands. 
However, her mother Wen, 39, states that her daughter’s happy smile when she hugged her parents was approval enough.
According to Wen, the expensive gift was a promise her husband had made to her daughter. Although the original promise did not detail a specific sports car, Wen and her husband decided on the Porsche 718 Cayman after two months of contemplation. 
In an interview with Sin Chew Daily, the mother explained, “about two months ago, we selected the sports car that we think is quite beautiful and suitable for our daughter, and [we] arranged a spatial way to gift it to her,” Says translates. 
Although the daughter’s actual birthday is in December, the parents couldn’t wait and presented the gift a month early on November 2.
This is not the first time the parents have gifted their children with lavish gifts. With four children —two sons and two daughters — the parents reportedly treat all their children equally, mentioning that their eldest son was also gifted in a similar manner. 
In response to a Facebook post of the story by Sin Chew Daily, netizens took to the comments to express their amusement.
“I’m planning on buying my daughter a Lamborghini too[.] Toy version,” a user jokingly wrote as translated by Facebook.
