By now I guess most of the 2008 PMR candidates have received their PMR result.  I believe this just a beginning of your future and there are lot of challenges that waiting for you ahead. For those who scored flying colours congratulations, and for those unlucky ones, don’t worries much as you have another 2 years to improve in your SPM.

Irrespective of your PMR result what next ? Of course for those obtained good result will have wider options to choose from.  In this post, I would like to share few things that you can do after PMR :

• For those obtained result you might want to try  MRSM/Sekolah Berasrama Penuh. Get new experience, new friend and new challenges here.
• For those more into technical courses, SM Teknik will best suit you.
• Not many excellent students want to choose  SM Vokasional, but if you think vocational courses is the best for you, don’t turn back just proceed.
• Remain in your present school. Remember the best SPM students  Azali Azlan &  Nur Amalina came from normal school too.

Please note that the application for Sekolah Teknik is now open, you can view it here http://www.moe.gov.my
Science, technical or Art Stream?

What course to choose? Where to go? For me this will highly depend on your interest, your result your capability and of course with some luck.

During my time, we used to have only maximum of 10 subjects, but now you can have as many as 20 subjects for SPM. For me this is ridiculous, don’t try to follow excellent students like Amalina and Azali. Take 10-12 is just enough  !

Co-curriculum is important

If you are non-active students before PMR, try to change. Be active in any school activities, build up your leadership skills here. And guess what ? Your Co-curriculum activities involvement will be be one of the criteria for your future plan (i.e applying for matriculation, college, universities, scholarship, loan). So start now ! please.

By Mohd Khairul

I am now 25 years old and was graduated from UiTM with a Bachelor in IT in early 2005 and currently work with one of the subsidiary of Synergy Drive, the Company who sponsored my studies.

I just want to share some experience when I first look for scholarship. Unlike the current generation, during my time the process of getting info scholarship is merely rely on newpaper advertisement. We don’t have website like Malaysia-scholarship.net etc to refer to.

But the obstacle never stop me from searching for scholarship as we know, the ads will normally appear in the newspaper sometime in Feb/March and always in the STAR (Saturday) and Mingguan Malaysia (Sunday), so I will make sure not to miss to buy these 2 newspaper.

I end up by sending 3 applications to Golden Hope and another 2 companies which I can’t recall…. I was called for Golden Hope interview and this will be my first interview in my life.

So what I did is to find out more details about the Company, about the programme of study and also practice in front of the mirror. During the interview, I felt so nervous, the office environment, the panel make me worst. But luckily, I can answer all questions they asked. TQ for my early preparation and of cause my father guidance too.

2 weeks later I receive their offer letter and was called for briefing. They briefed me about my responsibilities, the scholarship and also my scholarship bond. Every semester I have to submit my result and for pratical training it was made compulsory to have it in the Group. After 3 years of studies, I finally graduated and was offered a permanent job there and I still here serving my bond and I am basically happy with what I am doin now.

Thank you again to Synergy Drive .
