Sibu teens get JPA scholarship after appeal

Wong Ching Yong is instrumental in drafting the letters to the relevant parties.

TWO students in Sarawak who obtained straight As in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination last year, can now pursue their tertiary education after the Public Service Commission (JPA) accepted their respective appeals for scholarship.

At a Zoom press conference, Victor Ling and Wong Ling Yu, both students from SMK Methodist in Sibu, said they had attended a virtual interview with JPA officials on Sept 9, after which their appeal was accepted.
