“I am honoured and proud. It was not easy coming from a community stereotyped as security guards or bodyguards,” said the father of one.

“I would like to become a role model for the community.”

Rajesh, a Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) graduate, worked for more than six years as a quality control manager before deciding to pursue his Master’s degree, the New Straits Times reported Monday.

“Education is the only way the Malaysian Nepalese can improve their standard of living and contribute to the nation,” he said.

Rajesh now wants to study for his Ph.D.
