CHAN KARWAI’s journey towards becoming a renowned artist was not paved with the conventional milestones of higher education. Hailing from Ipoh, Perak and raised by a single mother, Chan faced unique challenges from an early age.
Despite societal pressures, she chose to limit her education to secondary school, prioritising her family’s well-being.
“In a world where higher education is often a privilege, I made the conscious decision not to add to her burdens,” Chan reflected.
