Tunku scholar commits to life of service


Man with a mission: Shashi has set his sights on ensuring his community work can be replicated across different communities.

TO live a life of service – that is what Shashivarmaan Thevaraj, fondly known among his family and friends as Shashi, aspires to do. And to show that he does not have his head in the clouds, the 24-year-old has already set the wheels in motion for a few years.

To date, he has set up a social media page to raise awareness of the issues faced by the Malaysian Indian community; taken part in the Rapid Youth Success Entrepreneurship/Employability (RYSE), which is a research and social outreach project to educate, upskill and develop youths; and started a book drive aimed at collecting reading materials for pupils at a school in Port Dickson, Negri Sembilan.
