KUALA LUMPUR: Social media influencer Dr Malar Santhi Santherasegapan, better known as Dr Malar among her followers, has never felt like a stepchild in the country where she was born and raised.

The 40-year-old medical doctor - who gained fame during the Covid-19 pandemic for sharing information on vaccines and other health-related issues in fluent Bahasa Melayu via videos posted on her "Celoteh Dr Malar" Facebook and TikTok accounts - says no Malaysian should allow allegations of marginalisation to impede their progress in life.
