1. You have clearly chosen politics over business as a career path. What led you to make that decision? Selvarani, Klang

Since my schooldays, my interest had always been the academia. When I did well as an engineering undergraduate at the University of Manchester's Institute of Science and Technology, an opportunity opened up for me to pursue a Masters and PhD, which provided the chance for me to deepen my knowledge and passion in the field. At the time, I felt that an academic career was something challenging and would provide me with an exciting future.
