“I recently completed my Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia exams and I hope to achieve 9A’s, God willing. I plan to apply for a scholarship to St. George’s University, that’s why I came. I’m interested in the medical and biological sciences. My interest in medicine started in Form Four when I pursued the science stream and studied biology. My sister, who is a doctor in Malaysia, is my biggest inspiration. She studied abroad before returning to practice here.” - Ahmad Afham Ahmad Aftas, 18
“I came all the way from Nilai to look at the courses and scholarships available at the fair. I’m planning ahead and taking the initiative to learn about the different programmes offered. I enjoyed Physics and Chemistry in school and I’m passionate about mechanical engineering. My goal is to go to Harvard so hopefully I can secure a scholarship.” - Nithilan Narayan, 18
“I’m currently doing my pre-university studies. I’m considering pursuing either Engineering or Actuarial Science, but I haven’t decided on a university yet — that’s why I’m here. The subjects that interest me are Maths and Physics so I am here to check out the scholarships offered.” - Marilyn Lau Wen Yu, 19
The next Star Education Fair will be in IOI Grand Exhibition and Convention Centre, Putrajaya on May 17 and 18. The fair is open from 11am to 6pm. Admission is free.
