Stranded Sarawak student keeps calm amid the calamity


SIBU: Ivan Yeo Zhi Yu, 19, an undergraduate from Bintulu stranded at the China University of Geosciences in Wuhan is trying to keep calm and not think too much about the calamity that has struck the city.

Being locked up in his hostel since the Chinese New Year has not been easy. He has been keeping himself occupied and is ready to leave the country along with his Sarawak state sponsored university mate Balachandar Subramaniyan, 43, who is there with his wife and two children.
