Dwi Emas’ Anne Tham - From Tuition Teacher to Education Entrepreneur
Anne Tham could have been any one of us. The only difference is that she took the plunge. To try and make a difference.
Otherwise she would have remained a tuition teacher, griping at the system’s many flaws, like so many other Malaysians.
Instead, she is today the head of a number of schools trying to make a difference, fully aware that an education – a proper one – is the key to unlocking a better future.
