Recently, Malaysia was very fortunate to receive the news that four Malaysians had gotten into Harvard University.
Congratulations to Elisa, Victor, Thamini, and Bryan! (And thanks for watching/appearing on Pathways ^^)
It’s always fascinating to see the country’s very top talent and the way that they are celebrated in this way, but maybe even more fascinating to become friends with them, which I inadvertently did in different ways.
It’s cool that Malaysia can produce people of this caliber of talent for sure – but there’s naturally always going to be a question for each and every one of us:
Can it retain them?
Honestly, the answer to that question is unclear even for myself.
You need to be strong to stay in this country, after all.
