Celebrating success

WHERE there’s a will, there’s a way. That’s the tenet held firmly by 23-year old graduate Looi Hong Yeng, who recently proved that disability was no barrier to success when he graduated with a degree in accountancy from Bolton Institute in the United Kingdom.  

Born with cerebral palsy, the partially disabled student from Kuala Lumpur was among 272 graduates who received scrolls of achievement at a convocation ceremony held by Systematic Management Resource Centre (SMRC), Bolton’s Malaysian partner institution. SMRC’s vice president Dr Peter Marsh conferred the degrees.
