Second IM norm

Solid show by 14-year old Poh Yu Tian in the 2023 edition of the Malaysia Open chess tournament that has just concluded at the Cititel MidValley in Kuala Lumpur. He amassed 6½ points to earn himself an International Master norm. This is his second IM norm and he shall require a third in order to qualify for an International Master title. 

The way he is developing into a matured player, this should not be too difficult for him to achieve. Moreover, his rating is required to move above 2400 points (it should be 2405 points come this October 2023 rating list) which he had also achieved in this tournament. Therefore, possibly within the next year or two?
