Hektar Reit's education asset scores stellar SPM results
underscores the school's dedication to academic excellence and holistic development.
Hektar Asset is the manager of Hektar Real Estate Investment Trust (Hektar Reit), which bought KYS campus in Melaka late last year.
The acquisition was completed in the third quarter of 2024, in line with Hektar Reit's portfolio diversification strategy.
KYS maintained its position as one of Malaysia's top-performing schools, ranking 9th nationwide based on the Ministry of Education's results.
About fifty per cent of its students achieved straight As in the SPM examinations.
Furthermore, 50 per cent of students from the previous cohort received full scholarships for tertiary education, demonstrating the school's continued success in nurturing high-achieving, future-ready individuals.
Hektar Asset chief executive officer Zainal Iskandar said the achievement reflects KYS' academic strength, emphasis on leadership and consistent pursuit of excellence.
"For Hektar Reit, KYS' remarkable achievements exemplify the importance of high-quality education infrastructure in shaping Malaysia's future leaders.
"We remain committed to investing in resilient assets that create long-term value while supporting national development goals," he added.

New housing areas must have schools under 13MP
Your browser does not support the audio element. KUALA LUMPUR: The government will make it mandatory for schools to be built in large-scale new housing developments. This is part of the education initiatives under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday. He said that under the 13MP, the government will allocate RM67 billion to build new schools and upgrade existing ones. "The allocation will encompass the construction of new schools, repairs and upgrades of school buildings, including the Community Development Department (Kemas) centres, and infrastructure for public higher learning institutions," he said while tabling the document in Parliament. Anwar said up to this year, the government has upgraded 1,200 schools nationwide. He added that building schools will also become a condition for planning approval in all large-scale housing developments. ""At the same time, the government will expand the development of vertical schools to address student overcrowding and the shortage of suitable land for new school sites." Anwar said the government is determined to ensure preschool and secondary school enrolment rates reach 98 per cent — exceeding the global average. According to the United Nations Children's Fund, the global average for preschool enrolment is 61 to 70 per cent, and 76 tlo 80 per cent for secondary education. "Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia, which serves as the main national benchmark, will continue to be used to assess the effectiveness of education policies, curriculum, and teaching methods," said Anwar. The five-year 13MP, which runs from 2026 to 2030, provides a strategic framework for the country's economic, social and environmental priorities. The plan comes as Malaysia navigates an increasingly complex global environment and embarks on an ambitious domestic reform agenda. It will also serve as a key policy platform for the unity government, which has based much of its governance on the principles of the Madani Economy.

He said the national education system would also be streamlined to be more integrated, effective and responsive to future challenges and for this, the MOE would be fully responsible for regulating preschool to secondary education. For pre-university and higher education, Anwar said it would be coordinated by the Higher Education Ministry (MOHE) with the aim of clarifying jurisdiction and improving policy and implementation efficiency. - BERNAMA
