A Kenyah youth from Baram, Sarawak, has made his community proud by being the first ethnic student accepted into the prestigious Oxford University to pursue a law degree.

Chris Deng Vinsien, who received the offer a few days ago, says whatever he has achieved thus far in his life is a product of all the hard work done by his family and his elders.
