The Tale of A Math Prodigy..Sufiah Yusof

SMARTER people don't always make the best choices, and this is a tragic tale of how a child prodigy threw away her bright future. Much is left to be said...a lot of finger pointing to the system, pressures, etc...

But her former husband (they were married for about a year) had this to say though... "Despite the problems with her family she had many advantages which other people don't have." You can read more here. It gives you a view from someone who shared her life briefly.

Yup! Life may have been kinda harsh on her...the tough regime that her father put her and her siblings through. But, she just never outgrew her rebelliousness either, if you look at it. Still in the end, she still deserves some pity.

Updates:
Seems the Malaysian Government wants to help rehabilitate her...that's what the Minister from the Prime Minister's Dept said. What is this? She is not even Malaysian. Why should we be spending the taxpayer's money on this? Does this make sense? Somebody will have to fly to UK, meet her, etc, etc... On whose account will all these expenses be charged???
