“This inspired me to push myself in everything I did as I dreamed of one day becoming an important person like the queen is in chess,” he said. “After attending a training session in place of my manager, I acquired a newfound sense of self and vowed to never return to a life of crime.“That trainer became my mentor and eventually helped me reignite my passion for chess,” he said at the premiere of a documentary about his life titled Wanted: Shades of Life 3 at the Petaling Jaya Performing Arts Centre yesterday.
Genkeswaran said his story proved that no students in school should ever be left behind as everybody has their own story to tell.
