PETALING JAYA: SJKT Ladang Kinrara's success at the World Youth STEM Invention and Innovation 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand recently reflects the high level of discipline and competitiveness among Malaysian students, says Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri R. Ramanan.
The school had won the "Gold Award", "Panel Choice Award" and was recognised to be among the top five in the Environmental & Sustainability category for an innovation project.
"This not only proves extraordinary capability in the field of STEM, but also reflects the high level of discipline, perseverance, and competitiveness among our students.
"This accomplishment shows that the nation’s young generation possesses great talent and remarkable potential to compete globally."
Ramanan said participation on the international stage demanded thorough preparation, courage, and strong self-confidence and the children "have proven that they possess all these qualities brilliantly".
"I am very proud of the achievements of Aarthisha Thiban, Aatheesha Moorthy, Keshwine Elattachan, Arvin Kumar, and Puraarni Vivegan, who have brought honor to their school, community, and country.
"I will be inviting these outstanding children to meet in the near future because I personally want to hear their stories of success and experiences in overcoming challenges on the world stage," Ramanan said in a Facebook post Saturday (Feb 21).
He added that the success was due to the strong support and continuous commitment of teachers and parents in empowering the talents and potential of the younger generation. "This is proof that the Madani government’s investment in education and STEM will continue to be a driver of national development.
"May this achievement serve as a catalyst to continue creating more innovations that benefit society and the nation, in line with our aspiration to produce a generation that is knowledgeable, skilled, and highly creative."
