The dream of a teenager from a poor village to become a geologist has been realized when he received the Petronas Education Sponsorship 41 years ago.

KUALA NERUS: The dream of a teenager from a poor village to become a geologist has been realized when he received the Petronas Education Sponsorship 41 years ago. Idris Ibrahim, 59, from Kampung Chuar, Kati in Kuala Kangsar, Perak said that the scholarship offer he received after completing the Malaysian Certificate of Education (SPM) was like a 'dream come true' to achieve his aspirations at that time.

He said that his motivation to study hard began when he was in primary school because he realized that only through education could he change his family's life and escape poverty. He said that his father's income, Ibrahim Muhamad, as a hairdresser was only around RM250 to RM300 per month, while his mother, Rafeah Manap, worked hard doing various jobs in the village to help support the family's expenses
