KUALA LUMPUR, April 6 (Bernama) — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has described the success of six Malaysian students in being accepted into Harvard College as a proud achievement for the country.

While congratulating the students who would pursue their studies at Harvard’s undergraduate school, Ismail Sabri also hoped that they would excel in their fields.
