Terengganu SPM top scorer woke up at 3am to study
The student from Sekolah Menengah Agama (SMA) Shaikh Abdul Malek was one of only 11 students in Terengganu to achieve straight 11A+ results.
"My daily routine was to sleep after performing the Isyak prayer and wake up at 3am to study until 6.30am.
"I didn't attend any extra tuition classes, but I made sure to stay focused during school lessons," said Hannan.
Hailing from Kampung Seberang Baruh, she did not stay in the school hostel but instead commuted about 12 kilometres daily with her father, who is the principal of a private religious school.
"I also performed the Tahajjud prayer every night and focused on early morning study sessions in the three months leading up to the examinations.
"On the way to school, I would recite selawat (praises for the Prophet) and perform the solat hajat, praying for Allah's blessings and guidance," said the aspiring engineer, who plans to further her studies at Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia.

19-year-old Malaysian takes pride in Alam Flora drain cleaner job, netizens moved
A young man's job of being a drain cleaner in Alam Flora has reminded many to never judge a book by its cover. At just 19 years old, Muhammad Zamri Zaidi Nizam has become an unexpected inspiration on social media for his pride and positivity in working as a drain cleaner. Employed by Alam Flora Sdn Bhd, Zamri's candid reflections on his job — shared through the company's official TikTok page — have struck a chord with many Malaysians. 'We cannot judge a job based on one perspective only. We have to try working there first to truly understand what it feels like. 'We should not do something based on what others say. We do it for ourselves. If they feel that young people should not do these things, I will prove to them that I can,' said the young worker in the video. Zamri said he began working as a drain cleaner in June 2024, following the advice of his father, who also works at Alam Flora as a driver. He added that he had no specific plans for work or higher education at the time he finished his Malaysian Certificate of Education (SPM). Recalling his early days on the job, Zamri said he initially felt intimidated by how fast his colleagues worked. As a new hire, he was only assigned basic tasks such as opening slabs, before eventually being allowed to enter the drains. Regarding acceptance, Zamri said his family fully supports his current job. 'With my family, it's okay because it's still work, and as long as it is halal (permissible),' he said. However, his friends were shocked by his choice of work, questioning why he had chosen it – but Zamri does not let their opinions affect him. 'Even though the workload is heavy, it's still manageable. And another thing – thank God –, the work helps me stay fit and my body feels light after clocking out because I get to do a lot of physical activity,' he added. Netizens were touched by the 19-year-old's positivity and determination in taking pride in a job that many would overlook. Others also praised Zamri's communication skills, noting how eloquently he spoke, and encouraged him to realise his full potential by furthering his studies. 'Why should you feel ashamed? I always tell my children that people who work in jobs like construction or the service industry are amazing – because without them, no one else would be able to do it,' one user commented.

Idle buildings, active threats
PETALING JAYA: Abandoned housing projects across Malaysia are raising alarm over health, safety and environmental risks, as experts urge stronger policies and community action to prevent urban decay. Despite government efforts to revive stalled developments, public health specialists and urban planners say more needs to be done to secure and repurpose idle sites, which are increasingly becoming structural hazards and hotspots for crime and pollution. Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia senior lecturer Ar Nasrudin Sharkawi has called for basic safeguards, such as fencing, warning signage and surveillance, to deter trespassing and prevent accidents on abandoned buildings. Proper drainage, vegetation control and rubbish removal are also essential to minimise pest infestations. Where feasible, he suggested temporarily repurposing abandoned sites into community gardens, markets or public spaces. 'Active use and proper lighting can deter criminal activity,' he said when contacted. Authorities, he added, must assess each site's condition and potential. 'Demolition should be considered only when a structure is beyond repair. If restoration is viable and meets housing needs, it should be supported by a willing developer.' To prevent future project failures, he urged stronger enforcement measures – such as legal action against errant developers, blacklisting repeat offenders, and setting legal deadlines to declare a project abandoned. Nasrudin called for mandatory Environmental Risk Assessments for stalled projects near sensitive areas, covering runoff control, pest management and waste disposal – even during suspension. He also urged local authorities to enable public reporting of safety or environmental concerns via mobile apps or online portals, noting that awareness remains low despite existing platforms. Local councils, he said, should establish resident monitoring groups, modelled on Rukun Tetangga, and offer grants or training for clean-up initiatives. Publishing maps of abandoned sites would further promote transparency and civic oversight. Public health expert Datuk Dr Zainal Ariffin Omar echoed these concerns, warning that dilapidated structures pose serious physical, biological, and chemical hazards. 'These buildings can harbour disease vectors, pests and even dangerous animals. Structural decay also increases the risk of exposure to harmful substances like mould, asbestos, lead and solvents,' he said. Dr Zainal urged authorities to step up monitoring through regular inspections, the demolition of unsafe buildings and stricter enforcement that requires owners to carry out proper maintenance. In the first two months of this year, the Task Force for Sick and Abandoned Private Housing Projects monitored 230 delayed, 347 sick, and 116 abandoned housing projects nationwide, representing a gross development value of RM107.04bil. Meanwhile, Piarapakaran Subramaniam, president of the Association of Water and Energy Research Malaysia, warned that prolonged exposure to the elements accelerates structural decay and increases the risk of chemical leaching from building materials. 'Abandoned sites inevitably deteriorate. Different materials react in different ways, but where metals are exposed, the leaching can be severe, especially near environmentally sensitive areas.' He also flagged illegal dumping and other unregulated activities at these sites, noting that some individuals burn wires and components to extract valuable metals. 'The fumes are toxic and pose serious risks to air quality. If hazardous waste is left exposed to rain, chemicals may leach into groundwater or surface water,' he cautioned. Despite these risks, Piarapakaran said structurally sound buildings could be salvaged and repurposed. 'In other countries, disused buildings have been successfully transformed into vertical farms. Similar initiatives could be introduced here to enhance local food production and support national food security.' He suggested that the Housing and Local Government Ministry work with the Agriculture and Food Security Ministry to pilot such projects, especially in areas near urban centres where viability is stronger. Employing sustainable, off-grid methods, he added, would further improve environmental and economic outcomes.

STPM top scorer from Jakun tribe set to pursue dreams at University of Manchester
KUANTAN: Driven by determination and hope, a young Orang Asli woman from the Jakun tribe has earned a place to study economics at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom, marking a significant step forward in her mission to drive change in her community. Roziana Tan Beng Hai, 20, who scored a perfect 4.0 CGPA in the 2024 Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) examination, said she chose to pursue economics and social studies with the ambition of becoming an economist. "I am the first person from Kampung Mentelung, Rompin, to sit for STPM. Not many people in my village have had the chance to study this far, and most of them are from the B40 group. "It's my hope to raise the living standard and create job opportunities for my community,' she told reporters at the 2024 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) and STPM Outstanding Student Awards Ceremony organised by the Department of Orang Asli Development (JAKOA) at a hotel here on Tuesday. Roziana described the opportunity to study abroad as her way of repaying her mother, Rohani Lamwan, 56, who had raised her alone while working at an oil palm estate under YP Plantation Holdings Sdn Bhd. "I want to give my mother something to be proud of, so she'll know that raising me on her own wasn't in vain,' said Roziana, who is currently preparing to sit for the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) on July 19. Meanwhile, 18-year-old Siti Nur Hawani Muhammad Almi, who scored 9As in the SPM examination, said she would pursue Islamic Education at the Teacher Training Institute, Dato' Razali Ismail Campus, Kuala Terengganu, starting Aug 11. The former Sekolah Menengah Agama Al-Hasanah student said furthering studies in Islamic Education was her first choice as she aspired to become an Ustazah (religious teacher). "I was truly inspired by my teachers at school and found that teaching is something I actually enjoy. "I used to help my friends study during SPM, and that's where my passion grew,' she said. At the same time, Siti Nur Hawani encouraged SPM candidates to step out of their comfort zones to achieve extraordinary results. "I never used to get 8As or 9As. Usually, I scored 5As or 6As. I wasn't very focused at first, but as SPM got closer, I realised I needed to change. I pushed myself to work harder, and in the end, I achieved 9As. Alhamdulillah,' she said. Roziana and Siti Nur Hawani were among 149 Orang Asli students recognised for their academic achievements at the ceremony. Jakoa deputy director-general (Development) Zamri Mustajap said a total of RM45,550 in incentives was allocated to all recipients.- Bernama
