maybe, he can use money to solve his problem if he is being punished by law in Msia, that's why he claimed so...northernstar:
it's an insult to the law students and lawyers as this guy is studying law and yet commits this offensive act with knowledge of the possible legal consequences in our conservative society.
He's using his law background to his advantage. He claimed what he did will not land him in any legal trouble...

which Junior college he came from ?

You're right. The girl mentioned in the interview that she doesn't care what her parents or others felt about what she had done. Must have broken her parents' hearts by such comment.

The world is not just a black or white scale of colour. I think his mindset of pushing himself to success is worth emulating. -

[/quote]Yes RJC and apparently did well there. When netizens asked for his scholarship to be revoked, and the sum amounting to $110 000 (allowance, transport,grants) returned, he challenged with a \"Why should I?\" :mad:No kidding??!!! :yikes:

The best part of this is there is no bond attached to this ASEAN Undergrad Scholarship!! What's our govt thinking? :roll: -
Couldn’t the girl have thought of her parents before doing such a thing? Even if she doesn’t value herself, she should give a thought to her loved ones who raised her. How are her parents going to face anyone? Really sad.

Maybe the girl's heart was broken/hurt by someone she loved (e.g. Her parents) before.... Maybe she feels that nobody cares about what she feel, thats why she retaliates with a \"i dont care what they feel!\". Have it ever occur to you or anyone in general? Young children are the most magnanimous and loving group of individuals I know. They are the one's who really give unconditional love. Until one day they are old enough and they realize that those people whom they have loved so much are not loving them back, they turn bad.You're right. The girl mentioned in the interview that she doesn't care what her parents or others felt about what she had done. Must have broken her parents' hearts by such comment.

I don't know the girl. Just making a general comment about why some people grow up to become so twisted in their thinking. But yup, sad for the parents and the girl. I dont think the girl will gain real happiness from this saga. Attention may bring short lived satisfaction but it is no where near true happiness.
