He said he was made to understand that three students, two from SMK Kubong and one from SMK Merapok, achieved excellent results in their STPM examination.
“I have heard about the state STPM and Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) result, and I want to congratulate the teachers as you have produced successful students in both of the examination results.
“I also heard that there were improvements in their results and their parents must be very thankful to the teachers,” he said in his speech during the event on Thursday.
Therefore, Abang Johari said the three students are granted with the scholarships for their success.
