Questions 33 40

Read the article below carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Md Shariff Mohammad Yusoff, a father of three never went to secondary school. Yet, at the age of

57, he got his law degree from Universiti Teknologi Mara.

Shariff had to quit school at a young age because his family in Alor Star could not afford thefees. He started doing odd jobs to earn one ringgit a day. His jobs included washing dishes,

chopping firewood in a coffee shop and running errands for a medical centre. However, this did not

dampen his ambition of making it big one day.

Shariff went to night school and passed his Lower Certificate of Education, which is

equivalent to PMR, in 1966. With this qualification, he got a job on a project to develop Sungai

Muda. While there, Shariff studied for his Malaysian Certificate of Education, equivalent to SPM,

at night after work. He used, bought and borrowed notes to study. A cousin studying for the same

exam helped Shariff by explaining to him what had been taught in class. Later, when he was

jobless, he pursued his Higher School Certificate, equivalent to STPM, once again tutoring himself.

Two years later, Shariff got married and started work with the Prisons Department. He was

promoted several times and rose quickly through the ranks to become the Deputy Superintendent at

the Prisons Department. Shariff was still not satisfied. He went on to get a Diploma in Counselling,

a Diploma in Law and finally a degree in Law in 2003.

It was always a struggle, money was always a problem and nothing came easy. But I had faith in

myself and knew my dreams would come true some day, said Shariff.
