Once again MBSSKL shows very good results for the STPM 2009. One of our students, Lim Thiam Sang was on of the 15 students in the nation that obtained a maximum of 5A’s. Three other students Tan Sock Mun, Chong Siew Ling and Lau Kar Mun obtained a Cumulative Gross Point Average (CGPA) of 4.0. It was a inspiring feat by Sock Mun, as she is suffering from a mild cerebral palsy which affects some of her motor movements, including writing. She is indeed proof that the disabled have great potential given the right support and opportunities. Interestingly, all the top performers of last year’s STPM results were from the Arts stream. The detailed analysis shows that most of the Arts subjects had significant improvement while the Science subjects showed mild declines. Notable improvements are seen in Accounting, Business Studies, Economics, Visual Arts and Mathematics S, while declines are seen in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics T. Overall, the school has a CGPA of 2.73, the best in 5 years. The analysis of each subject from 2001-2009 can be downloaded from here.

Siew Ling, Kar Mun, Sock Mun and Thiam Sang are all smiles with their results

Ian James Barr, the superb national trainee swimmer was voted as the MSSMKL (Majilis Sukan Sekolah Malaysia, KL) Sportsman of the Year for 2009. It was indeed a proud day for the 15 year old who had a series of accomplishments even before he joined MBSSKL. His recent outing at the international level was the 31st SEA Age Group Championship in Bangkok last year. He grabbed the Best Swimmer Award at the MSSM in 2009. But sadly MBS will miss him as he has enrolled in the Bukit Jalil Sports School where he will be given the best guidance and training for his future competitions. The other two MBS boys who were honoured are our Chess Prodigy Yeap Eng Chiam and a new Form 1 boy Tan Wei Hao who is also a national age group chess player. Go Forward MBS.
