Juana can sit for SPM exam after all

SEREMBAN: After weeks of anxiety, 17-year-old Juana Johnson can finally heave a sigh of relief as her wish to sit for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination in November has been granted.

The aspiring graphic designer was devastated when a teacher informed her last month that she was not eligible to sit for the examination because her nationality was in doubt as her parents Gabriel Johnson, 55, and Mariah Nathan, 50, had not been registered as Malaysians at birth.
