KUALA LUMPUR: Top STPM scorer Edward Wong Yi Xian is heartbroken after being rejected by Universiti Malaya (UM) for its Accounting course despite near-perfect results in both studies and co-curricular activities.
The 20-year-old from Bukit Mertajam dedicated two years to the Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM), scoring a CGPA of 4.0, straight A’s in all subjects and 9.9 out of 10 for co-curricular activities – giving him a total merit score of 99.9%.
