Revving up school attendance

BATU PAHAT: A secondary school here has come up with a novel idea to achieve a 100% attendance record. The 1,226 students of SMK Senggarang stand to get a brand new motorcycle – if they can show a perfect attendance.

Four motorcycles, worth a total of RM13,600, are up for grabs. Last year, the rural school recorded a 92% attendance.
