Appreciate if you could help spread the search on your social media channels. Thanks in advance on behalf of my colleague, Ooi Ling Ling.

Dear all,

He was last seen in Bukit Mahkota, Cheras on Thursday evening. She has since lodged a missing persons report on Friday and sought help from MCA. However, until today there has been no news on his whereabouts.

United World College Applications
Thanks to Lenard for sharing this.
UWC Malaysia - Applications
This page concerns applications to the UWC movement. All Malaysian applicants to UWC normally apply through UWC Malaysia's National Committee which selects applicants to represent Malaysia at the UWCs.
Scholarships offered yearly to Malaysia for the IB Diploma program in UWCs worldwide vary from full to partial scholarships between 50% and 75%. Although the number of scholarships differs from year to year, they are always limited and few. Where partial scholarships are offered, parents are expected to make up the difference on the amount.
Students are selected based on competitive selection via written applications and personal interviews. Other elements may include a piece of written work, an examination, group discussions, teamwork exercises, an excursion or camp and community service projects. UWC Graduates are involved throughout most selection processes.
The UWC of the Adriatic in Italy offers special scholarship programs for exceptional Physics or Music students. However, all applicants undergo the same initial selection process. UWC Malaysia National Committee currently does not send students to the agriculturally-based Simon Bolivar UWC.
The application form for the 2011 application cycle is now available.
Application form for 2011 (pdf).
You may also contact the secretariat's office for more information.

• Promote new policies and initiatives by the Government especially the GTP and ETP
• Attract Malaysian talents back to reduce brain drain
Representatives from PEMANDU and TalentCorp will be here to answer questions about employment and policies which affect you (e.g. allowing government scholars to serve their bonds in the private sector). The session is open to all: students, professionals, and all other interested parties.
