SANDAKAN – Despite not taking the Mandarin subject in her government primary school, Ang An Teng’s passion for the language had her scoring an A+ for Bahasa Cina (Mandarin subject) in her Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM).
Ang who achieved 6 A+ and 4 A in her SPM results revealed this week that when she enrolled in Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Muhibbah Sandakan, she knew that students from a government primary school were not offered to take Mandarin.
But she was determined to learn the language.
“I love the Chinese culture and language. I am particularly interested in learning about the people in China in ancient times.
“Knowing that students from SK (Sekolah Kebangsaan) are not offered the Mandarin subject, I met the school’s Mandarin teacher, begging to give (me) a chance to take the subject in the examination.
“I then scored A for the subject in my PT3, and A+ in my SPM,” she said.
