1) Adi Putra Abdul Ghani (Born in Perak: 27 Jan 1999)
10-year old Malay boy mathematics genius. (Has 2 older siblings.)
Was reading today's news about him. Havent heard of new geniuses here for a long time after the previous 2 (unfortunate) Malaysian geniuses. Parents discovered his uniqueness when he was 4 years old and solved a mathematic question for his 10 year old brother.
- Originally from Perak, has now moved to KL.
- CEO of two companies (run by his mother) selling vitamins under the brand "Adi".
- Invited by certain universities to lecture and charges RM6000 per lecture.
- He keeps track of foreign stock markets via the internet.
- Interested in maths, physics, chemistry, biology, geography.
- Stopped schooling (finds it boring) and studies at home. Dislikes reading books but likes to surf the net.
- seldom eat rice, likes bread, chocolate milk, ice cream
- does not eat egg yolk
- Has a bit of 'six sense'? - was asked to help locate a drowned child's body in a river. Drowned 18 days but couldnt find body. Adi told them where to search and body was found later that day. Was also asked by police to help locate Sharlinie. Went to Gombak, found the word 'media' written on the ground, but no sign of Sharlinie. (As we all know she was found dead in a sports bag.)
- Hopes to be a lecturer in Islamic studies.
Most of his inspirations come in the middle of the night. Active brains - dont sleep much. He sleeps at 4am to 10am. From 12 midnite to 4am, he is most active, playing or doing his mathematics questions given by his father. (He never do the questions in front of his parents. Strange.)

UPDATE - May 3, 2011 :
Wonderkid Ardi (now 12 years old) says its a burden being called a child genius. Learnt 8 languages and publishes mathematical formulae book. Read news:

We will wait and see how he turns out 10 years from now. While reading and researching about geniuses, it is better to be normal rather than 'genius' because not every genius will turn out to be like Einstein.
(BTW Einstein was not a good husband and father and his work comes first. His wife is also a genius but pity her. One son is schizophrenic. This story for another day.)

True Malaysian Sad Story no. 2...
2) Chiang Ti Ming (Born in Seremban - 1976) : Malaysian Chinese boy genius. IQ exceeded 180.
- 13 years old; youngest student to be ever admitted to California Institute of Technology (CALTECH) to study physics. His father accompanied him to California and live there to look after him.
- Well respected by his fellow classmates and lots of achievements, awards, results were in the top 5%.
- Graduated with a Doctorate in Particle Physics from Cornell University in New York.
Started working in US, and then suddenly in 2002 when he was 26 years old, local newspapers reported that he was admitted to hospital here for depression and withdrawal symptoms. I was very shocked when I heard the news on TV. The whole nation was so awed by him when he first came into the limelight at 12 years old. It seems that he does not talk and just sleeps in his bed all day.
On January 6, 2007 (31 years old) he passed away. So sad and the family is too distraught to say anything. Their 4-year old daughter who was also said to be a genius had drowned in a swimming pool at the Seremban International Golf club in 1993. (Ti Ming was about 17 years old then.) Double tragedy.
Why would a genius suddenly become so withdrawn. I so want to know the answer. Is it acute clinical depression? Brain burn out? Probably his brain neurons, cells, had been worn out?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Geniuses - very difficult to discipline once they reach teenage, having a mind of their own, headstrong, stubborn, wilful and they think they are smarter than the parents. While obedient genius ends up mentally depressed, a rebellious Malaysian girl genius ends up being a prostitute.
True Malaysian Sad Story no. 3...
3) Sufiah Yusof (Born 1984)
Posing outside Oxford (13 years old) with father and sister. (Her 4 siblings are all prodigies too. Smart parents too but the father is a swindler and molester and been jailed twice)
At 13 years old, youngest student to be accepted at Oxford University to study mathematics. Ran away from Oxford at age 17. Lost interest in studies. (Why leh? Must be distracted by boys loh.)
Two years later went back to Oxford but failed to finish. At 19 years old married a trainee lawyer at Oxford. Husband got a job in Singapore. While at Singapore she wanted a divorce saying she want to go back to study. So marriage ended after 13 months. Husband said he was becoming more conformed to muslim ways while she was straying away from her muslim ways. Aha....in London can drink alcohol/beer and not get rotan (caned).
Note: A 32 year old malay woman was sentenced to 6 strokes of the rotan by the Syariah Court (Islamic) in July 09 for drinking beer in a hotel lounge. She was also fined RM5,000
19 years old - marriage. (Husband and father - similar headshape)
Sufiah went back to London alone to study economics and was in some debts. She was at a bar when a woman approached her and asked if she want to be an escort. She went home, researched on the internet and contacted an escort agency. She wanted to make money fast. As you know social escorts are prostitutes too. She uses the name Shilpa Lee. She later worked as a prostitute in her flat advertising her services on the net. Then an undercover reporter broke the story and Malaysia was in the world news once again
(It seems she has repented and is now doing welfare work.)
------------------------------------------------------------
I notice mathematic geniuses loves money, and female prodigies are so naive and unstreetsmart that they dont see prostituting as something wrong. Geniuses becoming sex workers, the whole world can see its pathetic and yet these geeks think differently.

Another random Genius story.
4) Name : A. C. (Shall not reveal her full name)
Another brainy (Born 6 Aug 1973) American female (Japanese father/German mother), Mensa member, rebelled and ran away from home at 17 years old.
When she was 14 years old, a 15 year old boy ask her out and say he will pick her up at 2am. Naive and gullible. Would a sane girl accept such a first date? What evil intentions the boy is having and no respect for her. Imagine 2am and she sneaked out. At 3am police officers found them in the parked car, pick them and sent her home. Of course her father was angry and clocked her on the head. This is pure stupidity for a teenage girl. Every good caring parent in the world would be angry.
(God says because of rebellion - there must be authority. Thats why good caring parents must discipline their children if they love them.)
17 years old - After finishing her high school, while waiting for college (on scholarship) to start, she ran away from home. She lived on the streets and slept with strangers just so she can have a meal and a place to sleep for the night. Bodoh! Degrading herself for the sake of rebellion. So stubborn and refuse to humble herself to go back home to her parents. She felt that her parents were strict with her but when she was sent to a foster home, they were strict too. So its not the parents fault but the way these geeks think, they are caught in their own self-righteous world. In the end never completed college.
She wanted fast money and became a go-go dancer, topless waitress and nude pictorials. Someone told her making porn can get more money and she became a pornstar at 22. Pathetically stupid!
3 years ago at 33 years old, she was widowed with 2 kids and no savings. She asked for donations on her website then. She had lost her savings - half through stocks loss and gambled half away. Her dead husband had no money and she had retired from pornwork after giving birth. She now lives in Utah so her kids can have privacy away from her past.
Her senior yearbook photo.
So dont wish for genius descendents. Think twice before sending children to study overseas, for they may end up being corrupted instead.
Her story reminds me of Rose Chan, the legendary striptease queen of Bukit Bintang Park. This story for another day.
"Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." (Matt 3:2)
