KUCHING: Nur Asfarizah Izzatie Ramzai, a 20-year-old student from SMK Batu Lintang, has attributed her success in the Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) examination to her commitment to sharing knowledge with her peers.
Exceeding her own expectations, she achieved 4A- and expressed her happiness with the results.
“The key to my success lies in the blessings I’ve received from my parents and teachers. Most importantly, I always share whatever knowledge I have with my friends. I strive to help them in the best way possible,” she said after receiving her STPM result slip on Thursday (July 13).
