Terengganu SPM top scorer woke up at 3am to study
The student from Sekolah Menengah Agama (SMA) Shaikh Abdul Malek was one of only 11 students in Terengganu to achieve straight 11A+ results.
"My daily routine was to sleep after performing the Isyak prayer and wake up at 3am to study until 6.30am.
"I didn't attend any extra tuition classes, but I made sure to stay focused during school lessons," said Hannan.
Hailing from Kampung Seberang Baruh, she did not stay in the school hostel but instead commuted about 12 kilometres daily with her father, who is the principal of a private religious school.
"I also performed the Tahajjud prayer every night and focused on early morning study sessions in the three months leading up to the examinations.
"On the way to school, I would recite selawat (praises for the Prophet) and perform the solat hajat, praying for Allah's blessings and guidance," said the aspiring engineer, who plans to further her studies at Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia.

Nur Syafienaz makes history as first Orang Asli in TESL at IPG Kota Bharu
KOTA BHARU: Nur Syafienaz Nazri, an 18-year-old from the Temiar tribe, has become the first Orang Asli student to study Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) at the Institute of Teacher Education (IPG) Kota Bharu. The Gua Musang native, who hails from Kampung Lambok, Kuala Betis, aims to use education as a tool to transform her family's future. 'Since childhood, I dreamed of becoming a teacher, especially in English, as few in my village master the language,' she said. She scored 8As in her Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) last year and immediately applied to IPG. 'Alhamdulillah, my application was accepted,' she shared during a press meet at the IPG Kota Bharu Campus in Pengkalan Chepa. The eldest of four siblings, she credits her English proficiency to self-learning via TikTok and YouTube, along with teacher support. 'I am grateful to pursue a Bachelor of Teaching (Hons) in TESL for Primary Education here,' she added. She urged other Orang Asli youth to embrace education and step out of their comfort zones. Her mother, Siti Norsyakila Kamarzaman, hopes she adapts well and excels in her studies. IPG Kota Bharu Campus director Dr Narita Mohd Noor confirmed Nur Syafienaz is the first Orang Asli student in the TESL programme. 'This is remarkable, as English is rarely chosen by Orang Asli students, who typically prefer Bahasa Melayu,' she said. This year, IPG Kota Bharu enrolled 529 new students, a significant increase from just over 200 in 2024. - Bernama

Letting go of eldest child pressure
Growing up as the eldest child, I often wondered if I had ever made my family proud. Working hard and getting good grades would earn me praise, but amid it all, I forgot that my life did not depend solely on others' recognition. Receiving my Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) results last year was nerve-wracking. My heart pounded as I searched my sister's face for any sign of a reaction. She didn't respond at first – then she ran off to tell our family and relatives: 'Nittila got straight As!' Wait, I did? No matter how much effort I put in, it never felt like enough. I constantly believed I had to do more – more exercises, more reading. Back then, that mindset only pushed me into a deeper slump, worsening my mental health. But like all difficult phases, it eventually passed. That very experience helped me juggle my subsequent matriculation life better. I learnt to give myself space to make mistakes and not let the fear of judgement hold me back. I also realised I needed to share how I felt with my parents. They, in return, offered guidance. When I got sick a week before one of my semester exams, it felt like everything was weighing on me at once. But my parents made sure to check in and see how I was doing. They made sure I never felt alone. They gave me home remedies to try, reminding me that even if they couldn't be there physically, they were always supporting me. Looking back, I realised the pressure I had placed on myself was far heavier than the expectations of those around me. I used to believe that being great at something made my loved ones love me more. In reality, that wasn't true – they also saw me for who I was, not just what I achieved. Do I still feel the pressure of being the pride of my family as the eldest child? Yes, but not in the way I used to. Before, I thought I had to be 'perfect' to earn their pride. Now, I understand that their pride doesn't come from perfect grades – it comes from effort, perseverance, and staying true to myself. My family is proud of me, not just because of my results, but also because of the hard work I put in. And more importantly, I have learnt to be proud of myself. Nittila, 19, a student in Perak, is a participant of the BRATs Young Journalist Programme run by The Star's Newspaper-in-Education (Star-NiE) team. For updates on the BRATs programme, go to

19-year-old Malaysian takes pride in Alam Flora drain cleaner job, netizens moved
A young man's job of being a drain cleaner in Alam Flora has reminded many to never judge a book by its cover. At just 19 years old, Muhammad Zamri Zaidi Nizam has become an unexpected inspiration on social media for his pride and positivity in working as a drain cleaner. Employed by Alam Flora Sdn Bhd, Zamri's candid reflections on his job — shared through the company's official TikTok page — have struck a chord with many Malaysians. 'We cannot judge a job based on one perspective only. We have to try working there first to truly understand what it feels like. 'We should not do something based on what others say. We do it for ourselves. If they feel that young people should not do these things, I will prove to them that I can,' said the young worker in the video. Zamri said he began working as a drain cleaner in June 2024, following the advice of his father, who also works at Alam Flora as a driver. He added that he had no specific plans for work or higher education at the time he finished his Malaysian Certificate of Education (SPM). Recalling his early days on the job, Zamri said he initially felt intimidated by how fast his colleagues worked. As a new hire, he was only assigned basic tasks such as opening slabs, before eventually being allowed to enter the drains. Regarding acceptance, Zamri said his family fully supports his current job. 'With my family, it's okay because it's still work, and as long as it is halal (permissible),' he said. However, his friends were shocked by his choice of work, questioning why he had chosen it – but Zamri does not let their opinions affect him. 'Even though the workload is heavy, it's still manageable. And another thing – thank God –, the work helps me stay fit and my body feels light after clocking out because I get to do a lot of physical activity,' he added. Netizens were touched by the 19-year-old's positivity and determination in taking pride in a job that many would overlook. Others also praised Zamri's communication skills, noting how eloquently he spoke, and encouraged him to realise his full potential by furthering his studies. 'Why should you feel ashamed? I always tell my children that people who work in jobs like construction or the service industry are amazing – because without them, no one else would be able to do it,' one user commented.
