No automatic matriculation admission for SPM grads with A-
SELAYANG: SELAYANG: Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) scorers who obtained an A- can still apply to matriculation colleges, said Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek. She said only those who score 10As without any A- will be given automatic admission into matriculation colleges. "There was never any circular that said A- is not excellent, not considered an A. We have never said students who obtained an A- are unable to enter matriculation." "They can still apply, and they will undergo a merit-based application process," she said on the sidelines of a Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) award ceremony here today. In June last year, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said students who obtained 10As and above in the SPM examination will be guaranteed a place in any matriculation programme regardless of race or locality. A circular by the Education Ministry on its website this year said that only 10A students with A+ or A will be offered a spot automatically.

Ahmad Zahid, who is also Minister of Rural and Regional Development, said the achievement symbolises pre-university academic excellence and reflects the commitment of students, the tireless efforts of teachers and parents, as well as continuous support from the District Education Office. 'As the Member of Parliament for Bagan Datuk, I have always prioritised educational development and youth potential in this constituency. 'Insya-Allah, all forms of support will continue to be channelled, including through education assistance programmes, motivational guidance and access to higher education and technical training opportunities,' he said.

BN to contest Sabah polls under own logo, says Zahid
KOTA KINABALU, June 25 — Barisan Nasional (BN) will contest the Sabah state election using its own logo, while maintaining an open approach to cooperation with other political parties, its chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said. The Deputy Prime Minister and Umno president said that BN consistently engages with all parties, as the coalition believes in open politics. 'We hope all discussions will be positive. No door should be left wide open, and no door should be closed completely. This means there is always room for negotiation and engagement. 'BN will contest under the 'Dacing' symbol, but we do not reject collaboration with other political coalitions,' he told reporters after officiating the Sabah Women Empowerment programme at the Sabah International Convention Centre here yesterday. Also present were Deputy Rural and Regional Development Minister Datuk Rubiah Wang, Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) chairman Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki and Sabah Community Development Department (KEMAS) chairman Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin. Ahmad Zahid said detailed discussions have yet to take place as the Sabah Legislative Assembly has not been dissolved, but engagements and negotiations will intensify when the time comes. On seat distribution, he said discussions have not reached that stage, but BN remains committed to avoiding clashes between coalition partners. 'The best way forward is to adopt an open attitude, and of course, it is better to seek more allies than to create adversaries,' he said. The current five-year term of the Sabah state assembly will expire automatically on November 11, paving the way for the 17th state election. — Bernama
