Incentives have been awarded to 92 students from SMK Sacred Heart in Sibu, Sarawak, who achieved 5As and above in the 2024 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination.
The incentives were from Bukit Assek assemblyman Joseph Chieng amounting to RM38,500.
Chieng said the educational incentives had been implemented in schools within his constituency since 2022.
The Bukit Assek constituency comprises four secondary schools – SMK Methodist, Catholic High School, SMK Bukit Assek and SMK Sacred Heart.
“The aim is to encourage and motivate students.
“It also serves as a token of appreciation for their diligence, while offering them some financial support too,” he said.
Chieng expressed hope that the incentive would encourage students in Bukit Assek to strive for academic excellence.
“To the high-achieving students, I extend my congratulations.
“I urge you to remain focused and disciplined as you progress to the next stage of your educational journey,” he added.
SMK Sacred Heart principal David Teo described the achievements as a collective effort of students, teachers and parents.
