Sabah Student Who Climbed Tree For Internet Signal During Exams Now Pursuing Medicine

The student added that it has been a long journey since she went viral, admitting that the fame she experienced during the pandemic took a toll on her mental health

"I didn't expect the video to go viral," she said in an interview with The Star.

"There was a lot of cyberbullying, with some calling me an attention seeker.

"While it brought both pros and cons, I chose to focus on the positives. I was just happy to have contributed to my community in some way," she said, adding that she has recovered.

After Veveonah's treetop story went viral, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) upgraded the Internet infrastructure in her village, improving connectivity for her community.

Now, with her eyes set on new heights, Veveonah hopes to return to her hometown to serve her community as a medical doctor.
