KUALA LUMPUR: Twin sisters Aimee Teong Chuin Ai and Charlotte Teong Chuin Yi have been offered seats to study finance and economics from several top universities in Britain, Hong Kong and Singapore.

However, the two top STPM achievers had to decline because all they wanted to do was to study medicine at Universiti Malaya (UM).

The dreams of the 20-year-old twins finally came true when MCA Youth chief Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong presented them with the offer letters during a ceremony at Wisma MCA yesterday.

Dr Wee said the sisters had selected medicine, dentistry and actuarial science as their top three choices.

Initially, elder sister Aimee obtained the offer to study actuarial science at UM while Charlotte was offered the same course at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM).

“However, after giving much consideration to the courses available, both of them realised that they wanted to pursue their favourite subject of medicine,” he said after a press conference here yesterday.

Dr Wee said the two approached the MCA education bureau and hoped it could help them obtain places to study medicine at UM.

“The MCA central committee agreed that the party should provide assistance to the sisters as they are the country's top scorers and should remain here.

“It is also in line with the Prime Minister's call to encourage talent to remain and serve in the country,” he said.

He said the party managed to submit their cases through MCA central committee member Datuk Dr Hou Kok Chung, who was also Deputy Higher Education Minister, to minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Noordin.

The ministry agreed to offer both of them places to study medicine at UM.

Aimee said she did not feel sad when she had to decline the offers from overseas universities.

She added that it was her dream to study medicine at UM.

Sister Charlotte said she was thankful for the help rendered to them by MCA.

“I have faith in our education system,” she added.
