‘No need for school as the jungle has all the resources’

KUALA PILAH: “What was the point of you studying till university if all you want to do is stay in the kampung? Might as well not go anywhere.”

These words are still ringing in the ears of Majid Suhut (pic), 57, who was made fun of by his kinsmen and neighbours when he decided to return to his village at Kampung Orang Asli Guntur in Batu Kikir, about 12km from here, after withdrawing from his computer science course at the then Universiti Pertanian Malaysia (now Universiti Putra Malaysia) due to health reasons.
