POLE-VAULTER Chuah Yu Tian’s involvement in sports had not hindered her efforts to excel in studies.

Yu Tian scored nine As to become Bukit Jalil Sports School’s (BJSS) top scorer in the SPM.

The Perak-born Yu Tian said, “I am happy with my results but I am not surprised. I had studied hard and my teachers had been very helpful.’’

Yu Tian hopes to pursue a degree in Sports Science.

Good job, girls!: BJSS teacher S. Yogeswari congratulating (from second from left) Sea Yeng, Hsi Theng and Yu Tian.

Another student volleyball player Tan Hsi Theng scored eight As and one B. Hsi Theng, who joined BJSS two years ago, said she was able to get excellent results in the SPM due to the guidance from the teachers.
“The principal (Marina Chin) has been a big inspiration. She had always stressed the importance of getting good grades in our exams.

“For me it is a big achievement and I am keen to pursue a degree in business administration,’’ said Hsi Theng.

Her teammate Kuck Sea Yeng, who is from Klang, Selangor, scored seven As.


High achievers: Dom (centre) with school principal Marina Chin (third from right) and the BJSS students who were rewarded for excellence in PMR.

Just like Hsi Theng, Sea Yeng wants to take up business administration and she hopes to receive a scholarship to pursue her studies.

“I am also looking at joining the matriculation programme and be based at BJSS,” said Sea Yeng.

Other BJSS students who scored in the SPM are — Shevon Lai Jemie (badminton, scored 6As); Yang Farha Farhani Fadzarahman (netball - 5As); Amir Ikhmal Zuhaimi (football - 5As); Nurul Adha Abu Bakar (netball - 5As); Teh Huei Hong (volleyball - 5As); Chan Wan Ran (badminton - 5As); Siti Nor Farhana Mustafa (netball - 5As); Mohd Fahme Zamzam Mehamad (athletics - 5As); Mohamed Hazrul Faiz Ahmad Sobri (hockey- 5As); Nurhidayah Idrus (volleyball - 5As); Ibrahim Aziz (football - 5As); Nur Syafazliana Mohd Ali (netball -5As); Lee Jin Ding (volleyball - 5As) and Muhammad Ariff Zulkifly (football - 5As).
BJSS SPM secretary S. Yogeswari said the students had proven that they were capable of excelling in both studies and sports.

“They have a tight schedule and have to train as well as study. We are pleased with their results,’’ said Yogeswari.

The Parent-Teacher Association of BJSS is expected to reward the students for their excellence in the SPM.
PTA president Datuk Dom Amy Hussain said they would like to see the students excel in both studies and sports.

During the recent PTA annual general meeting, five students — Durah Jasmin Abu Din, Mohamed Faizul Mohamed Lazim, Muhammad Humaidi Abdullah, Norezatti Shasha Mohd Rosli and Nurfazira Jalaludin — were presented with cash incentives for obtaining excellent results in the PMR.
