IPOH, June 24 (Bernama) -- Sira Suhairi, 20, from Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Toh Muda Abdul Aziz in Sungai Siput, did not expect to achieve commendable results in the Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM), obtaining a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 3.09.
"I couldn't believe it when I received the results earlier. I am very happy because for the trial exam, my GPA did not reach 3.0," said the Orang Asli girl from the Temiar tribe when contacted by Bernama.
Sira, who lived in a hostel located more than 60 kilometres from her home in Kuala Mu, Sungai Siput, said she was highly committed to the extra classes organised by her school.
"Being away from family was indeed difficult, but living in the dormitory gave me the advantage of focusing on my studies. Every day was filled with study time, whether in class or revising lessons with friends," she said.
Sira also said she plans to continue her studies at the Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) to realise her dream of becoming a teacher.
Earlier, Perak Education director Safuan Raba'ai said 13 Orang Asli candidates achieved a CGPA of over 3.0 in the STPM results in the state.
