MALAYSIAN PM'S WIFE ROSMAH RECEIVES COURTESY VISIT FROM MALAYSIAN TEENAGE PRODIGY

PUTRAJAYA, Aug 9 (Bernama) -- The Prime Minister's wife Rosmah
Mansor received a courtesy visit from teenage prodigy Ng Eng Seng at Seri
Perdana, the official residence here Monday.

Ng, 19, from Kuala Lumpur, is one of the Malaysian prodigies accepted into
Duke University, which is among top ten universities in the United States.

He enrolled at the university at the age of 14.

He graduated with a Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering with a
cummulative grade point average of 3.892.

Ng sat for the SAT examination when he was seven and his results was
described by Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY) as "incredibly
exceptional for a child under the age of eight".

He will be pursuing his Masters degree in the same field at Stanford
University, also in the United States, next month.

During their half-hour meeting, Rosmah said she hoped that upon graduation,
Malaysian prodigies like Ng would return to Malaysia to serve the country.

She also hoped that the teenager would return home during holidays to share
his experience and motivate the participants of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia
Permata Pintar (smart kids) programme, including at its camp scheduled for
December.
