Deaf in one ear, but he passed SPM with outstanding results
He may be deaf in one ear but that did not stop See Zhun Jiat from achieving outstanding results in the SPM examination.
Having lost his hearing on his left ear since he was in Form One, Zhun Jiat was determined not to letet his disability bog him down.
"My daily activities are not hampered. It does not stop me from leading a normal life," said Zhun Jiat who scored nine 1As out of 11 subjects he took in the SPM last year.
The SM Sam Tet student received special mention for his excellent results at a press conference held by state Education director Datuk Mohammed Zakaria Mohd Noor when announcing the performance of SPM students in Perak in the 2006 examination.
The 18-year-old Zhun Jiat, who aspires to be a Chinese Language lecturer, said he was thankful for his teachers and friends who helped him out with his schoolwork and his parents for not pressuring him in his studies.
"My teachers will deliberately speak to me on my right side so that I can hear them," he said, adding that his friends would help him if he missed any lessons in class.
Zhun Jiat, who studies an hour a day on weekdays and three hours a day during weekends, is also active in his school's Buddhist Association, Chinese Language Club and Bowling Club.
His 47-year-old mother Gee Seet Fong, who is a teacher at SK Gunung Rapat, and his 48-year-old father See Chin Wah, who is a factory manager thanked Zhun Jiat's teachers, who helped their son in school.
Zakaria said 86.06% of candidates who took the SPM last year obtained passes in the examination.
He said 14 schools obtained 100% passes while a total of 113 candidates obtained straight As, with Chew Shew Fei of SM Ave Maria being the top scorer with 14 1As.
