Dr. Suranga Nanayakkara, an esteemed old boy of Royal College (RC 2000 Group), releases his motivational book in Singapore today, a powerful reflection of his life’s journey and the transformative value of education.
Suranga’s path from humble beginnings in Piliyandala to global academic recognition is truly inspiring. After excelling at the Grade 5 Scholarship Examination from No. 1 Primary School, Piliyandala, he entered Royal College and went on to achieve 5th place in the island in the GCE A/L Mathematics stream.
He completed both his Bachelor’s Degree and PhD at the National University of Singapore (NUS), where he now serves as a Professor, nurturing future innovators and leaders.
In the preface of his book, he dedicates it to young people who are “hungry for higher education, upward mobility, and the design of a meaningful career,” and to those who may “feel a bit stuck and uncertain of themselves and their futures.”
He reminds them that even from “less-than-ideal backgrounds,” one can rise, grow, and succeed with purpose and persistence.
Wishing Dr. Suranga Nanayakkara continued success in all his future endeavours.
Never underestimate the value of free education we have!
From Piliyandala Central to NUS Professorship!!
