He received his education at the Malay College Kuala Kangsar and graduated from University of St Andrews with a Bachelor’s in Medical Sciences in 1990, and with an MBChB from the University of Edinburgh Medical School in 1993. He obtained a fellowship in Surgery from the royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 1998.
