Toddler stops crying instantly when given money by his dad

A father in Malaysia found a weird way to calm his crying toddler - by offering him cash to stop.

Reportedly when the one-year-old saw his dad's wallet on the dining table at their home in Melaka on October 9, he tried to grab it but was caught and the baby began to cry.

The baby was then given a five dollar note by his dad, and promptly stopped crying, only to start again when his money was taken.
