Overcoming Financial Hardship to Become a Medical Officer

​

I am currently working as a medical officer (Pegawai Perubatan UD43) in the Paediatric division at Hospital Banting.

I studied at Cyberjaya University of Medical Science (CUCMS), where my dream was to become a successful doctor. My mother, a single parent, worked as a rubber tapper earning RM300.00 per month. She faced great difficulty raising me and my younger sister. Bread of Life Home in Bahau supported my family during this challenging time.

Simultaneously, I was offered the opportunity to further my studies. Aware of my family's financial circumstances and the fees required each semester, including personal expenses, I applied for several scholarships but was unfortunately turned down. I later learned that Yayasan Munarah was offering education sponsorships forunder privileged students.

With high hopes, my mother, my guardian from Bread of Life Home, and I visited Yayasan Munarah. We were deeply touched by the kind words and support from Yayasan Munarah's coordinator. I recall their reassuring words: “Don’t worry about your financial expenses; we will help you. Focus on yourstudies, graduate, and take care of your mother.” Thanks to their support, I completed my degree with good results, receiving both financial assistance and motivation from Yayasan Munarah’scoordinator.

After graduation, Yayasan Munarah continued to keep in touch with me through phone calls and messages, checking on my progress from time to time. Without Yayasan Munarah’s financial aid, my studies and dream of becoming a successful doctor might have remained just that—a dream. This experience has been a dream come true, and I am truly grateful to be part of the Yayasan Munarah family. In the future, I plan to move to Negeri Sembilan and contribute to Yayasan Munarah’s charity work and programs, giving back to the community that supported me.
