KOTA KINABALU: The interview was gruelling, challenging a chief inspector's son and other scholarship aspirants to think quickly and stand out during a group question-and-answer session.
"We were given pages of information, which we had to quickly analyse and later we had to speak in a group interview.
"It was tough and I am so happy that I won this scholarship.
"My parents would not have been able to afford sending me overseas," the eldest of four children said.
He was among 35 people from Sabah who were awarded scholarships by Shell to pursue tertiary education locally and overseas. In addition, 200 students received bursaries to help them through their secondary education.
Two other recipients, Kerry Hsu, 19, and Didi Ooi Sher Mey, 19, will head for University of Bristol in the UK to study chemistry and geology, respectively.
Although excited at the idea of studying overseas, they did not think that they did well in the interview and were surprised when they received the offer. The trio were met after Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman presented them with their scholarships at Universiti Malaysia Sabah, here on Friday.
Shell Malaysia exploration and production companies managing director Datuk Wee Yiaw Hin said RM3.9 million was allocated for scholarships and bursaries in Sabah this year, out of a total allocation of RM11 million nationwide for education and capacity-building programmes.
