TWO years of dedicated hard work proved fruitful for two local SMJK Heng Ee students when they took first place in the 11th Regional Congress Search for Seameo (South-East Asia Ministers of Education Organisation) Young Scientists 2018 competition in the mathematics category.

Wong Wai Kern, 17, who is in Form Five, said he and his partner Raymond Chow Yin Hong were surprised to have won as it was a very difficult competition.
