I find it hard to start to write on this topic, its majorly due to exhaustion. I am getting tired. Just reading those emails, enough to drain all the energy you have. Lately I got close to 50 emails on a girl called Sathiah, a 5th year medical student. Perhaps you have got the same email I have got, some just forwarded, some pleaded me to help, not forgetting the begging and cryings. Being just another soul in the road ( I aint a community leader with wealthy funds) , sometimes the hope put on us by the society is much bigger than we could cope. I could understand, you perhaps only get one specific case of this type (in this context Sathiah's case), and you wanted to push to assist this. What would you do when you get cases every other day? It just drains you, as it involves huge amount of money to save a person and many of us are not from those wealthy circle, able to lift the problem. For Scholarships, your sad story might not help as you would need to swin with the sharks and be the best in the pool to win the limited opportunity. That too if you enrolled in recognized universities. Frankly, I just can wish you luck as I am just another student.
Case 1 - Sathiah Devi
Sathiah Devi is in her 5th year of Medical Degree and from Sitiawan.She have two other sisters, one of which in UNISEL (have PTPTN loan) and another in secondary school.She have lost her father in a road accident way some time back and the only source of monetary and moral support was the mother.Apparently, the mother goes through a tough life in supporting them and having deep financial constraints. The mother goes under severe depression due to financially unable to support these bright girls and committed suicide by hanging herself.
She and her sisters is now left on their own. She have another one and half years to go.She is doing her medical degree in Lugansk State Medical University, Ukraine.For a while I thought she went to unrecognised university, but upon check with my friends in Malaysian Medical Council, it was certified it is unrecognized but luckily the same university which falls under thier unrecognized schedule are allowing her to practise in Malaysia after she have taken Malaysian Qualifying Examination (MQE) under the Section 12 (1) (aa) of the Medical Act, 1971. She can have as much as 3 tries for the examination.

They didnt know it wasn't recognize until she was already there to do her studies. The cost of being naive are huge here. These 3 gals are now gonna have to live on their own as it seems no relative came forward to help them out. Sathiah is unsure now on her future as she dont have the money for her studies. Do see if you could help.
The sister's bank account is as below,
Sathiah Devi Subramaniam - 0880029000063724 (BSN)
