This morning I am honored to be invited to witness the Majlis Apresiasi Kecemerlangan Pelajar SMK Batu Lintang. Congratulations to all the recipients and best wishes to the students who are taking their studies to the next level.
Success has no end, but make yourself better than yourself tomorrow. I believe in the power of the young generation, they are the pillars of the country that will lead to the future.
Excellent academic performance is important, but it does not mean everything. If you want to become a better version of yourself, you must improve yourself and change yourself. More importantly, you must broaden your horizons, strengthen your thinking, keep humility and good character, and you will be able to go further in your future career.
I advise that students continue to have good reading habits even after stepping into society. They should read a book at least every two weeks to find life insights and expand their knowledge from books.
I also encourage students to establish appropriate interpersonal networks, make new friends learn from each other’s shining points, support and help each other, and even become talents in life.
At the same time, self-discipline is also very important. Only with good self-discipline can you meet a better self.
I hope that while enjoying their school life, students will always adhere to moral integrity, push themselves, and remain humble.
We know the school library facilities such as the partition wall have been severely eaten by termites, and some of the old air-conditional unit is not functioning well.
In addition, the school’s existing parking spaces are very limited, forcing teachers and staff to park on the roadside and blocking the access of other vehicles.
Therefore, my office has earlier allocated RM75,400 to the SMK Batu Lintang to help the school upgrade the library facilities including replacing new air conditioner units and adding more parking spaces.
