The results of Malaysia’s national examination, the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), were released on Jun. 8.
The SPM is the equivalent to the O-Level exams in Singapore.
Among those receiving their results, Muhammad Syahril Saidi, 18, from Kelantan managed to score 11 straight As for the examination.
He was his school’s top scorer but was unable to collect his own results as he was taking care of his bedridden mother, New Straits Times reported, quoting Bernama.
This led to his teachers paying a visit to his home on Jun. 9 with his results in hand.
His mother later passed away at around 8:45pm on Jun. 10, according to a later report.
Caregiver for mom
Muhammad Syahril, the youngest of six siblings, had been taking care of his mother, Faridah Ismail, 53, since 2019.
His father had passed away in 2012, leaving the late Faridah to care for her six children.
After she suffered a stroke, Muhammad Syahril and his siblings took turns to care for her. He told Bernama that he had not expected himself to score straight As as he was juggling his caregiver duties with his studies.
“I did not even set a target to achieve all As but in the end, my mother smiled when she found out about my results," he was quoted as saying.
Results delivered to home
After the release of the SPM results, Muhammad Syahril’s teachers sent his results to his home, along with a congratulatory balloon and bouquet.
The scene was captured on video and various clips of the act later circulated on TikTok.
