A sobbing boy has pleaded for his foreskin to be “glued back on” after being circumcised.

The incident, filmed in Malaysia, was posted online by his mother, Miera Elyia Zsalyca, and it has since gone viral.

In the footage, the crying boy is seen begging for his foreskin back and asking his family members if it could be glued back on.

At one point he pleads, “I want my totey back, I really want it.”

Claiming the doctor took his foreskin, the boy insisted he should give it back and glue it on.

“The little man did not know what Sunat (Malaysian for circumcision) was, so he soon noticed something was ‘missing’ and he wanted it back,” Zsalyca said on her post.

The post was flooded with people's comments sharing their reaction to the video.

“Haha he was so disappointed, did the doctor do everything right?” one person commented.

“Usually kids cry because of fear or pain, but this is the first time I’ve heard of a child asking for his foreskin back,” another wrote.

One even went as far as to joke about starting a petition, in a bid to ensure the doctor could return the little boy's foreskin to him.

According to his mother, the boy had accepted the situation when he woke up that morning.
