The president of MRSM Malaysia Student Association, Mohd Fadzil Yusof shared that T20 parents send their children to MRSM because they want to teach them the hardships of life by mingling with peers from different socioeconomic backgrounds. We use this as a springboard to discuss the value of young people getting exposure to people poorer or richer than themselves.
