Laga, or Bujang as he is affectionately known to his family, was born into a life of struggles and hardships in a rural longhouse in Ulu Roban, Sarawak. He refused to let his circumstances define his future. With a burning desire to achieve more, Laga knew that education was the key to uplifting his family's standard of living and unlocking a brighter tomorrow.
Growing up as a normal Iban boy, Laga dreamt of studying abroad, sparked by a life-changing letter. With support from the PETRONAS Education Sponsorship Programme, Laga worked tirelessly to achieve his goals, never giving up on his dreams despite the obstacles he faced.
Over 30 years later, Laga is now a successful CEO in the oil and gas industry, a testament to the power of hard work, determination, and the transformative power of education. His story is nothing short of inspiring, and his journey is one that will leave you feeling empowered and motivated.
