Ninety-year-old defies age, earns MBA from Open University Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR - Age is no barrier, and ninety-year-old former high school principal Krishnan Arunasalam is a living testament to this.

He recently graduated with a master's degree from Open University Malaysia (OUM), becoming the institution's oldest graduate.

In a heartwarming moment during the 27th OUM Convocation Ceremony held on Saturday, Krishnan was awarded the prestigious Lifetime Learning Award.

This award is a tribute to individuals over the age of 60 who have achieved academic excellence at the university.

Krishnan, who pursued a Master of Business Administration, expressed profound gratitude and joy at having successfully completed his studies at the university, despite his advanced age.
