3 siblings shared sweet memory at Graduation Day in UMP

It was a day to be remembered for three siblings who all received their scrolls upon graduating from Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) at the university’s 13th Convocation Ceremony held at its Gambang Campus Sports Complex on November 10 and 11, 2018.

The siblings are Satish Rao Pothorajoo, 27, Loshyini Devi Pothorajoo, 25 and Tarshwini Devi Pothorajoo, 21.

Satish Rao has a Masters’ Degree in Science, Loshyini Devi has a Master of Business Administration and Tarshwini Devi has a Diploma in Electrical Engineering (Industrial Electronics).

Their parents Pothorajoo Sanasee, 58, and Appalarasie Subramaniam, 52, supported their decisions when all three decided to pick UMP as their choice of university.

“Words of encouragement from our father became the main driving force for our success and we obtained our Masters’ degrees and diploma at the same convocation.

“This is indeed a sweet memory for me and the rest of the family. 

“Father always reminds us not to waste the opportunity given because he and my mother did not get the opportunity to study in university,” said Satish Rao who is the eldest brother.

Loshyini Devi said she had already completed her Diploma and Bachelor’s degree from the Faculty of Electrical & Electronics Engineering (FKEE) before deciding to join her brother to pursue a Master of Business Administration and managed to complete in time with him.

Pothorajoo also said he never failed to give them support and encouragement to his children to continue their studies and the success achieved was the result of their hard work.
