SIBU: Education is the foundation of the nation and individual growth, said Bukit Assek assemblyman Joseph Chieng Jin Ek.

According to him, the field of learning is not only about acquiring knowledge but also about character formation, broadening one’s view and perspective of the world.

“As Bukit Assek assemblyman, I am not only focused on upgrading the schools in my area but also concerned about your academics,” he said when speaking at the presentation of educational incentives to students who obtained excellent results in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Bukit Assek in Jalan Tun Ahmad Zaidi Adruce here, yesterday (June 22).

Chieng explained that since 2022, he has given incentive gifts to students who have achieved excellent results in SPM, Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) and Unified Education Certificate (UEC).
“This incentive gift is not only a recognition of your past efforts but also an encouragement for your future studies.
