“Be the best, beat the rest”, that is what we should always tell ourselves when we are doing something in life. At KDU, we always inspire our people with the smartest way of doing things, compassion, solidarity, and high drive towards the process of achieving the objectives. It is only natural that KDU produces excellent scholars, graduates, and even employees. On the 17 November 2016, two of our International A Level Students have received the prestigious Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards, Malaysia, namely Hooi Wei Cheng for Mathematics - Top in the World and Wong Sook Wei for History – Top in the World, at the presentation ceremony recently held at the Armada Hotel.

One thing you ought to know about The Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards, convened by the Cambridge International Examinations is, it acknowledges the best Cambridge learners in Malaysia and around the world who did extraordinarily well in the Cambridge examinations. The results achieved in the June 2016 examinations series by the two KDU Cambridge International A Levels students were compared against more than one million students in more than 10, 000 schools in countries around the globe, including United Kingdom, United States, China, India, and Singapore, as well as throughout Europe, South America, and Middle East. With all that in mind, this award does not come as easy, it requires a whole new level of dedication, commitment, hardships, and even struggles in order to achieve such standards. We share the achievements together with our students and felt super glad that they do realise our presence and support throughout their preparations for such challenge.

Wong Sook Wei shares her joy with parents Mr and Mrs Wong Tuck Seng.

We would like to congratulate our students for making us proud and more importantly for them to be proud KDU-ian wherever they go in pursuit of their dreams. We will continue our campaign in producing top notch, excellent, crème de le crème and bombastic students that would outshine others in the competitive scene and perform extremely well in the working industry. As we emulate the proud achievements of our fellow students, we should always embrace the idea of “Hit the ground running” and be prepared to face all the challenges that life might throw at us.
