Saw the repeat of Vizhuthugal on Astro just now. There was an interview with Darvin Raj from SJKT Teluk Datuk who got 7As. Big deal, you may say. But his story is not the average one. He was a leukemia patient who went to school in Standard One for few months. After that, he stopped schooling due to treatment until 10 years old. He reentered school in Standard Five. Aided by his mother and teachers, the boy got 7As for his UPSR. Sadly his mother is not around as she succumbed to kidney failure.
The boy hopes to grow up and do seva via his occupation. God bless him!

Hi Avis,
During the interview, the boy’s father did mention that MIC helped him with funds for treatment (he mentioned T.Mohan). Others who helped included OMS Thiagarajan. We should give credit where its due.
