Meet the 12-yr-old who wants a Renewable Energy or Astrophysics degree
January 10th, 2011 - 6:21 pm ICT by ANIKuala Lumpur, Jan 10 (ANI): A 12-year-old Malaysian boy caught the attention at an education fair recently when he expressed his urge to pursue his graduation in either Renewable Energy or Astrophysics.
“The Earth is getting so polluted, and petroleum, which is a big source of energy today, is running out so we have to do something about it,” the Star Online quoted Jeshaiah Khor as saying.
Khor, who is currently doing his A-Levels at the UCSI A-Level Academy, also said he wanted to study for his degree at a local institution.
Asked if he had any problems with his older classmates, he said he was able to socialise with people of all ages.
“I have friends of my age as well as friends who are 18 years and above. It is not a problem at all,” he said.
Khor, who started reading newspapers when he was just 18 months old, completed his O-Level examination last month. Science and Maths are his favourite subjects. (ANI)
