Top ‘O’ Levels Achievers Meet The Press
By Ahmed Shaheeb

Bandar Seri Begawan - The cream of the crop from Chung Hwa Middle School in the capital gathered in the school's newly opened library to talk to the media about their success in last year's Cambridge `O' Levels examination.

The lively young teenagers seemed excited about the future and at the same time modest about their achievement as all of them obtained 10 `O' Levels.

Among the top achievers are Tiong Ying Hee, 16; Sung Yoke Khee, 17; Supatra Lee, 16 and Joyce Ling Ning, 16.

Tiong Ying Hee shared with the Bulletin her secret to success. She said she had been gearing up for the examination for the last two years. She did not take the June exams like others because she thought the trial exams were adequate in terms of practice.

She added that she studied two hours a day after school on top of the tuition she went to.

Her advice to others was don't crave for tests as subjects like Mathematics and Science really need understanding rather than memorising.

Another top achiever is the demure Sung Yoke Khee who said she spent a lot of time studying. She added that she started her intensive study during graduation exams. She found the trial exams helpful as well. It was both a good preparation and indication of how well she was doing in her studies.

Pleased with her results, she said she studied seven hours a day in the days leading up to the exams.

Listening in class, paying attention to the teacher and making your own notes was her advice to others as they greatly attributed to her success.

When asked about her plans for the future, she said, "For the moment I want to go to Maktab Duli. I hope I get in."

She said she wanted to go into the field of medicine. "I'm very interested in medicine, especially pharmacy."  -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
