Finally ... he’s a doctor-to-be


Dream come true: Purshothaman with his mum in front of their home in Seremban. The 19-year-old is now pursuing a medical degree at Quest International University Perak.

PETALING JAYA: For his scholarship interview to study medicine in Ipoh, P. Purshothaman was careful to buy a one-way train ticket instead of a return ticket from his hometown in Seremban.

“I didn’t know what time the interview would finish, so I couldn’t take the risk of a return ticket,” said the 19-year-old.
