When 27-year-old Nuraishah Shamsuddin graduated from UITM in Shah Alam, Malaysia, with her master’s degree, she initially planned to stay in the city and work in the field of her study: graphic design.
Shamsuddin spent her time waiting for her post-grad job applications to go through by freelancing in design work. She eventually moved back to her home village in the district of Hilir Perak and started to farm vegetables as a part-time occupation.
