KUALA TERENGGANU (Terengganu, Malaysia) Jan 14 (Bernama) – Hailed a hero! That was the recognition accorded to Muhammad Syukur Khamis, 14, a student of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Padang Midin here Sunday. Sunday he received the Most Outstanding Student award for the Kuala Terengganu District from the District Education Officer Jelani Sulong before some 1,500 students of the school. Before this, the lad became a worldwide sensation among photographers since 2015 for his prowess in interacting with the over 100 heads of buffaloes reared by his father Khamis Jusoh, 63.
