Hockey ace closer to dream after earning UPM degree


KUALA LUMPUR: National hockey player M. Jivan’s childhood dream was to become a police officer. And this could become a reality for the Penang-born player, who obtained a degree in the Human Resource Development during the convocation of the Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) in Serdang yesterday.

The 25-year-old midfielder, who has 98 international caps to his credit, said that it was not easy to juggle time between study and to train and play hockey for the country.
