 The Star - 15 December 2005 (pg. 18 - nation) - CONGRATULATIONS to Year Three pupil Mohamad Syazwan Subri from the SK Methodist (ACS) Sitiawan. This is something new. Never knew that was such an event.
Apparently, Mohamad Syazwan came up tops at the Grade Six level of an International Mental Arithmetic Competition held in Taiwan!! He gave correct answers to 47 sums in three minutes and a further 27 sums in just one minute to beat 99 others in his group, beating rivals from Taiwan, South Korea and Singapore. AND THERE'S MORE !! ....His younger brother, Year One pupil, Mohamad Syazwi Aiman Subri took second place in the Grade Eight level of the contest, which had some 60 participants. He gave correct andwers to 47 sums in three minutes and 23 sums in one minute. Picture shows both Syazwan & Syazwi with their parents, Subri and Rogayah. Their tuition techer accompanied them and eight other pupils. Next year's contest will be in South Korea. Perhaps the MOE should highlight all this in the Newspaper - a special page paying tribute to the achievements of ALL students in Malaysia. Congratulations to Syazwan, Syazwi, Subri & Rogayah .. & Goh Ming Yueh (the tuition teacher). Aiyaa, tak tau lah ... |
