Remember the viral story of the stateless woman Rohana Abdullah that melted the heart of Malaysians due to the selfless love of her 83-year-old adoptive ‘Laoshi’? Well, not only has she finally received her citizenship, but now, the 22-year-old woman is also able to achieve her dreams of pursuing a higher education thanks to an offer by Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM)!
As reported by Bernama, Rohana who just obtained Malaysian citizenship and an identity card accepted the study offer and said that she will work hard to complete her studies with excellence so that she can contribute back to the local community. An elated Rohana asserted,
“I don’t know how to say âthank youâ… I am very grateful for the gift God has given me because this is something I have been dreaming about for a long time. Thank you also to UTEM. Although I am more interested in the field of medicine, computer science is my second choice and Laoshi is also supportive of it. So I will do my best to repay her,”
“There are several things I need to buy and at the same time need to find help a housekeeper to take care of Laoshi when I am not around. Lately, she cries whenever she thinks of our separation. Therefore, it is better to find someone to be with her at home while waiting for my return on the weekends,”
