KUALA LUMPUR: As a kid, Alif Imran Zabri was always scolded by his father for being a “destroyer” who often dismantled household items and had no clue on how to put the pieces back together.

His curiosity led him to create new inventions. Now a Form Five student, he was crowned the winner in the school category of the National Innovation Award (AIN) 2016.
