IC number

Siaran Akhbar: Program Penajaan JPA 2010

2010-02-07T00:44:00.000+08:00

Makluman Awal Mengenai Program Penajaan JPA 2010 Bagi Lulusan SPM 2009
PENDAHULUAN

Modal Insan berkualiti merupakan prasyarat utama untuk menyokong agenda pembangunan negara. Oleh itu, Kerajaan akan sentiasa memastikan pembangunan modal insan dilaksanakan secara komprehensif, meliputi usaha-usaha meningkatkan kemahiran dan pengetahuan. Selain itu, langkah akan diambil untuk membentuk individu berintelek dalam bidang sains dan teknologi serta memupuk nilai-nilai positif dan progresif. Sehubungan itu, Kerajaan melalui Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam Malaysia (JPA) akan menawarkan biasiswa kepada pelajar cemerlang untuk melanjutkan pelajaran di dalam dan luar negara di peringkat Ijazah Pertama. Penawaran biasiswa ini diteruskan pada tahun 2010 dengan memberi fokus kepada bidang-bidang kritikal seperti Perubatan, Pergigian, Farmasi, Sains Perubatan Veterinar, Kejuruteraan, Sains & Teknologi serta bidang Sains Sosial yang diperlukan oleh perkhidmatan awam dan negara.Program Penajaan JPA 2010 terdiri daripada:
PROGRAM BIASISWA NASIONAL

Dalam pembentangan Bajet 2010 pada 30 Oktober 2009, Y.A.B. Perdana Menteri telah mengumumkan penganugerahan Biasiswa Nasional kepada 30 pelajar terbaik lepasan Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) di kalangan yang terbaik untuk melanjutkan pelajaran ke universiti tersohor di dunia berasaskan kepada merit mulai tahun 2010.Sehubungan itu, Kementerian Pelajaran akan mengenal pasti pelajar paling cemerlang dari kalangan pelajar yang mendapat A+ dalam semua mata pelajaran peperiksaan SPM untuk ditaja di bawah Program Biasiswa Nasional ini.

Pelajar-pelajar akan ditaja untuk mengikuti pengajian peringkat ijazah pertama di universiti-universiti terkemuka di dalam ataupun luar negara dalam pelbagai bidang pengajian mengikut minat dan pilihan pelajar.

Maklumat dan syarat asas untuk Program Biasiswa Nasional adalah seperti berikut:
Terbuka untuk calon lepasan SPM 2009 yang memperolehi keputusan A+ dalam semua mata pelajaran yang diambil dan minimum bilangan mata pelajaran yang dinilai adalah sebanyak sembilan mata pelajaran (Pencalonan akan ditentukan oleh Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia);
Umur belum mencapai 18 tahun (19 tahun bagi pelajar peralihan) pada 31 Disember 2009;
Calon perlu melalui proses temuduga; dan
Calon yang berjaya akan mengikuti kursus persediaan di pusat-pusat pengajian yang ditetapkan oleh JPA.

Kriteria yang digunapakai untuk pemilihan/penawaran biasiswa Kerajaan/JPA adalah seperti berikut:
Pencapaian akademik; dan
Prestasi temuduga.
PROGRAM IJAZAH LUAR NEGARA (PILN)

Program Ijazah Luar Negara (PILN) merupakan program penajaan kepada pelajar-pelajar cemerlang lepasan SPM untuk mengikuti program Ijazah Pertama di universiti luar negara.Maklumat dan syarat asas untuk PILN adalah seperti berikut:
Terbuka untuk calon lepasan SPM 2009 yang memperolehi keputusan cemerlang;
Umur belum mencapai 18 tahun (19 tahun bagi pelajar peralihan) pada 31 Disember 2009;
Calon perlu melalui proses temu duga; dan
Calon yang berjaya akan mengikuti kursus persediaan di pusat-pusat pengajian yang ditetapkan oleh JPA.

Kriteria yang digunapakai untuk pemilihan/penawaran biasiswa Kerajaan/JPA adalah seperti berikut:
Pencapaian akademik;
Penglibatan dalam kegiatan ko-kurikulum;
Prestasi temu duga; dan
Sosio-ekonomi/latar belakang keluarga.

Penajaan bagi tahun 2010 mengambil kira kecemerlangan akademik, kepelbagaian latar belakang kaum, latar belakang sosio ekonomi calon bagi menentukan penawaran dilaksanakan dengan adil dan saksama.

PILN 2010 adalah dibuka khusus kepada lepasan SPM tahun 2009 yang memperolehi keputusan yang cemerlang. Pada tahun 2009, seramai 455,317 orang calon telah menduduki peperiksaan Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) berbanding seramai 442,936 orang pada tahun 2008. Peningkatan bilangan calon ini dijangka akan menjadikan PILN 2010 lebih kompetitif. Pada tahun 2009, misalnya, JPA telah menerima sebanyak 15,084 permohonan dan daripada jumlah tersebut sebanyak 1,469 permohonan diterima daripada kalangan calon yang mendapat keputusan 1A dalam semua mata pelajaran SPM tahun 2008. Setiap tahun PILN menjadi tumpuan banyak pihak sehingga mewujudkan pergantungan harapan yang tinggi terutamanya di kalangan calon dan juga ibu bapa. Dua bidang yang paling popular di kalangan calon ialah Kejuruteraan dan Perubatan. Manakala, negara pengajian pilihan oleh majoriti calon/pelajar ialah United Kingdom, Australia dan New Zealand.
PROGRAM IJAZAH DALAM NEGARA (PIDN)

Pelajar-pelajar cemerlang yang tidak terpilih, disebabkan persaingan yang sengit di bawah program PILN, akan ditawarkan tajaan untuk mengikuti pengajian di dalam negara sama ada di empat buah universiti penyelidikan di Malaysia iaitu Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Universiti Putera Malaysia (UPM) dan Universiti Malaya (UM), IPT tempatan, kampus-kampus cawangan University of Nottingham, Monash University, Swinburne University of Technology dan Curtin University of Technology atau Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP), Universiti Multimedia Malaysia (MMU), Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN), AIMST University, Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL)-Royal College of Medical Sciences (RCMS), Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences (CUCMS), Alliance College of Medical Sciences (ACMS)-UKM dan University College Sedaya International (UCSI).Pelajar yang berjaya ditawarkan akan ditaja di peringkat matrikulasi/asasi/pra-universiti dan ijazah pertama sekiranya melepasi syarat akademik yang ditetapkan.

Selain itu program penajaan dalam negara (PIDN) turut menawarkan biasiswa diperingkat ijazah pertama dalam pelbagai bidang seperti Perubatan, Pergigian, Farmasi, Kejuruteraan, Undang-Undang, Sains Tulen & Gunaan, Pengurusan dan Sastera di IPTA dan Universiti Multimedia Malaysia (MMU), Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP) dan Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN).
PROSES PEMILIHAN

Calon-calon dinasihatkan supaya membuat pilihan secara bijak dan memberi perhatian kepada perkara-perkara seperti berikut:
Kriteria pemilihan - peluang adalah lebih tinggi bagi calon yang mendapat gred A bagi sembilan mata pelajaran dan aktif di dalam kegiatan ko-kurikulum berbanding dengan calon yang mendapat gred A bagi 15 mata pelajaran tetapi tidak aktif di dalam kegiatan ko-kurikulum;
Kursus/bidang - selain perubatan, terdapat bidang kritikal lain yang ditaja iaitu Pergigian, Farmasi dan Sains Perubatan Veterinar. Di samping itu tajaan juga diberikan kepada bidang lain seperti Ekonomi, Sains dan Perakaunan yang juga amat diperlukan oleh negara dan perkhidmatan awam;
Pilihan kursus - calon hendaklah memilih kursus pengajian yang bersesuaian dengan kelayakan SPM yang dimiliki;
Negara - penetapan negara tempat pengajian adalah menjadi hak JPA/penaja. Calon adalah dinasihatkan agar menerima keputusan penaja kerana apa yang penting adalah matlamat utama iaitu untuk melanjutkan pengajian. Semua kursus di negara-negara yang ditaja oleh JPA adalah of good standing dan diiktiraf. Sebagai contoh pelajar yang bergraduat dalam bidang Perubatan di Indonesia, India dan Rusia akan tetap dilantik sebagai Pegawai Perubatan seperti mana mereka yang bergraduat daripada Ireland, United Kingdom atau Australia.

Peruntukan kewangan dan tempat pengajian ke luar negara terutama bagi kursus-kursus kritikal (perubatan/pergigian/farmasi/perubatan veterinar) adalah terhad namun permohonan yang diterima adalah tinggi dan ini menyebabkan wujudnya persaingan yang sengit di kalangan pemohon. Contohnya pada tahun 2009, sebanyak 5,181 permohonan telah diterima bagi mengikuti kursus kritikal, namun peruntukan tempat yang disediakan hanyalah sebanyak 772 sahaja. Ini menunjukkan hanya seorang calon akan terpilih daripada setiap enam permohonan.
KAEDAH PERMOHONAN

Iklan tawaran dan maklumat lanjut akan disiarkan menerusi portal www.jpa.gov.my dan juga akhbar-akhbar utama pelbagai bahasa pada bulan Mac 2010. Calon perlu merujuk ke portal www.jpa.gov.my untuk mendapatkan butiran tawaran dan syarat kelayakan PILN 2010 yang akan mula dibuka secara atas talian (on-line) mulai tarikh keputusan SPM 2009 diumumkan secara rasmi.Calon-calon yang memenuhi syarat-syarat dan kriteria PILN serta memiliki kelayakan bahasa asing seperti bahasa Jerman, Perancis atau Jepun akan diberi pertimbangan sewajarnya sekiranya memohon program pengajian ke negara-negara berkenaan.

Program Pendedahan Kerjaya Seorang Doktor akan diadakan pada bulan Mac 2010 di hospital-hospital Kerajaan yang akan ditetapkan oleh JPA. Calon yang memohon untuk mengikuti program perubatan adalah diwajibkan menghadiri program ini.

Pelajar-pelajar yang memenuhi syarat-syarat yang telah ditetapkan akan dipanggil ke sesi temu duga yang akan dijalankan pada bulan April 2010. Urusan temu duga akan dijalankan secara berkumpulan mengikut dua kelompok utama bidang pengajian iaitu kritikal dan strategik.

Ahli-ahli panel bagi bidang kritikal terdiri daripada pegawai perubatan/pergigian/ farmasi dan perubatan veterinar manakala ahli-ahli panel bagi bidang strategik terdiri daripada pensyarah, jurutera dan pegawai kanan dari pelbagai skim perkhidmatan.

Calon-calon yang berjaya akan mengikuti kursus persediaan di pusat-pusat pengajian yang ditetapkan oleh JPA. Calon juga perlu mencapai had kecemerlangan (cut-off point) yang ditetapkan, mencapai rekod kehadiran kelas melebihi 90% dan tidak mempunyai rekod disiplin bagi membolehkan calon diteruskan penajaan ke universiti-universiti di luar negara.
PENUTUP

Pemakluman awal ini adalah bertujuan untuk memberi pendedahan kepada bakal calon/pelajar akan senario permohonan, kriteria pemilihan, had penawaran dan saingan serta persediaan yang perlu dihadapi oleh setiap orang calon/pelajar bagi mendapatkan tawaran biasiswa Kerajaan yang diuruskan oleh JPA.Tanggapan umum bahawa prestasi akademik adalah jaminan dan menjadi faktor penentu untuk calon-calon mendapatkan biasiswa khususnya untuk PILN adalah tidak tepat. Harapan JPA adalah agar calon yang tidak berjaya tidak membuat perbandingan dengan calon yang lain dan mempersoalkan kenapa mereka tidak ditawarkan biasiswa atas alasan mencapai prestasi akademik yang cemerlang.

Bersandarkan kepada faktor-faktor seperti bilangan permohonan yang tinggi di kalangan calon yang cemerlang serta bilangan biasiswa yang terhad, PILN 2010 dijangka akan terus menjadi amat kompetitif. JPA dengan ini menasihatkan calon serta ibu-bapa agar bersedia dan berusaha juga untuk mendapatkan sumber-sumber penajaan yang lain.

Maklumat umum berkaitan penawaran biasiswa Kerajaan/JPA juga boleh diperolehi dengan menghubungi talian 03-8885 3412 (lima talian) mulai 10 Mac 2010 atau hadir sendiri di kaunter-kaunter Bahagian Pembangunan Modal Insan, JPA di Lobi, Blok C1, Pusat Pentadbiran Kerajaan Persekutuan Putrajaya mulai jam 8.00 pagi hingga 4.00 petang.

Experience& Tips on Scholarship Application : thomas_hang

2010-02-03T20:36:00.000+08:00

*source form RECOM

Hi all and I'm a Recom-mer who used to surf this site for a long time for the latest info and I've gained endless benefits from this site, for free. Thus I'm here trying to share my experience and things that I know throughout the application of JPA Scholarship for the year 2008 with other Recom-mers.

This' what I experienced on 2008, obviously there're changes on 2009 (onwards). Thus I'm not sure if the information I've written expires or not. Anyway, I hope this article could clarify most questions in students applying for JPA Scholarship. Here it goes.

***

Many post SPM students will start to worry about their coming JPA interview after the release of their results. So I am too. But I've becoming a 'senior' of JPA interview already; I just had my interview on 4th April 2008 (8am, Panel 1, in INTURA in Sungai Petani). Here I would like to share with you all the information I've gathered so far before and after the JPA interview. Hope this will be helpful for people like me (who worry a lot and tried much on searching info about JPA things). I mean those who're goin' to have their JPA interview on 09' or so.

The JPA scholarship registration will be open right after the SPM result is released (early-mid of March), and only 2 weeks (14 days) are allocated for you all to fill the registration form. No mailing is required. This can be said as phase one. Just submit your info and cross your fingers to be shortlisted.

Before you register that scholarship, you need to sign up your IC number and your name to make an ID in eSila; so that you can proceed with your scholarship registration (there you fill your personal information). Make sure that you fill your details (especially IC number) correctly. Once it's submitted, it will be hard to undo the changes.

The online form is quite linear, compared to some other scholarships' online form. Just point your cursor (mouse) to the word "Panduan" if you need help on how to fill. Read carefully and follow everything stated there. There's one little bug I noticed from that form. In that salary section, they require you to fill 000.00 as asked in "Panduan" if your parent(s) have no income. But after submitting it, the value is changed to 0.00. That’s normal; don't waste your chance just to edit this value. It cannot be changed to 000.00. How I know this? It’s because I've tried on this year- and thus wasted 1 chance for editing.

For those whose parents are doing their own business (no salary), just divide annual profit by 12 (as one year got 12 months, right?). The annual profit's figure can be obtained from the Borang B or J or things like that. But it's still advisable to seek help from teachers or accountants for 100% precise answer.

Read the information given before filling the form. The rest shouldn't be a problem. Fill them up just like a normal online form. If I'm not wrong it's required to be filled in CAPITAL LETTERS. Don't forget this. After filling everything up, double check and submit it.

Check the site frequently. Normally the shortlisted name list will be released just one or two days after the closing date of online application (end of March). For those who take Medicine (Kedoktoran), keep your eyes open for the Kursus Kerjaya list (earlier). And it's compulsory to participate. Don't serve it as a trip to hospital or something. Notice everything you see and learn things from there. The reason is... continue-reading. Those who joined this kursus and think that they regretted still can change their mind. But it's during the interview day. Wait till that day and let the secretary (I prefer to say kerani ><) know that you want to change course.

Ok. Let’s say you're shortlisted. Congrats. You're one step nearer to the scholarship. Don't forget the interview time, panel, and location. What to prepare? This will be your big question. You got a few things to take care of. I say: attire, self-introduction, documents and... er mental-preparation + confidence.

What to wear?
A-must (in my opinion):
Males:
Slack (black or brown)
Leather shoes (I dunno how to say in English, in BM, kasut kulit, brown or black)
Alternative: 'Kasut batu' (I think the noise is quite annoying, it's up to you)
Long sleeve (You should know what is it, personally I think plain coloured one is better, try to avoid those with fancy stripes with different colours)
Tie (Must must must, don't ignore this)
Belt (I didn't wear it there, I think it's not really important)

Females:
Baju kurung (oh gawd, girls are lucky. Just get 1 set of baju kurung and you're done!)
Alternative: Males' attire (the interviewers consist of MALAY mostly; you know... you know... So personally I think the former- baju kurung is much better)
Leather shoes (Yeah it looks weird with baju kurung, but I saw more than 90% of them wearing this for interview)

Oh, some ask whether can wear National Service's attire or not. Try not to. I don't think it's formal.

How about batik (for males)? This one is the real formal dressing. But I really got no idea. So far I noticed, nobody wears this.

Coat (Kot in BM)? Yes, it really makes you look professional. But be prepared to be showered with tough questions (I think so). As it's like you're sticking a note on your forehead 'shoot me'. Try to be moderate lah... Why try so hard to be so special out of them? No point right? (But I saw got people wear this during the interview session. You can wear, but reconsider ><)

What to fit in your clear holder?
According to this year's (2008, latest, we know this only when we're in the interviewing place), the arrangement goes this way:

1. Slip Temu Duga (printed)
2. Slip Pemohonan (printed)
3. Your IC (original, leave 1 blank page for this. Just take out your IC and fit into this page when you're reporting to kerani, maybe you still need IC to do something else right?)
4. Your birth cert (original)
5. Father's birth cert (original)
6. Mother's birth cert (original)
7. Surat kewarganegaraan (of your parents, original, ONLY for parents who're born before Independence Day, in case you dunno >< 31st August 1957)
8. SPM result (original, yes it's only that printed slip, though it really looks like just a fake copy :/ )
9. Cert. of Co-curricular activities (original, put the best things you had during Form 4 and Form 5, bear in mind that these are the proves to show that you're better than the others. THIS-IS-IMPORTANT! ) "Try not to be arrogant while mentioning IT even though your performance is very good" -AnnDeBlurry, milkshake
10. Sijil Tamat Sekolah (original, the one with all the details of you, including your co-curricular performance and so)
11. Slip gaji (original)
Alternative: For those whose parents have their own business (bekerja sendiri), grab the returned Borang B or J or BE or (other code, I dunno much about this) and put the whole thing into that transparent A4 pocket. I've asked a lot other people and they suggested this, because there're no other better proves to prove their salary who do business themselves, since past 2 years (2006 I think), there's no return slip anymore. If not, we need to present that slip but not the Borang thing. So no slip gaji is needed anymore for this.
12. Borang pengesahan pendapatan (printed, filled)
*** Only get them signed by your Pengetua/ Penolong Kanan, but not Guru Kanan Mata Pelajaran, as what stated in the guideline provided with online borang pengesahan pendapatan, which is a PDF file. Maybe the interviewers aren't really gone into this, but just in case if you meet the choosy ones...

Provide a certified (yang disah, the photocopied version of slip temu duga, slip pemohonan and borang pengesahan gaji don't really need to be certified anymore, but if you want to, just go with it) photocopied set of the documents (stated in 1 to 12, ALL of them, they need to take back the copied set) and just put them in a transparent pocket or an envelope or take it with bare hands, you choose. Clip them together anyway you like, or you just take them there and give the job to the kerani. Paperclips are there, don't worry.

Anything else to prepare before-hand?
Write a script on self introduction. It's not 100%, just in case they need you to introduce yourselves. Include these things:
1. Name (for sure ==)
2. Last previous school (meaning you graduated from which secondary school)
3. Parents occupation (businessman, grocer, full-time housewife or so)
4. Siblings (Just say got how many brothers and/or sisters. If many of them are still studying, let them know; if all of them already graduated and can support your family... don't mention this until they ask you. This' kind of strategy heh)
5. Your co-curricular activities (This one is the real thing, say what achievements you got and do self-promotion and squeeze everything you got to them, try to make stars appear around you. But in my interview, I was not asked bout own co-curricular activities, thus I got no chance for this)
6. Which course you choose (with country)
7. Why you choose this course
8. Why you choose this country

Just know what you going to say. Memorising doesn't really help. As you need eye contact when communicate with the interviewers, and to me that time, I can’t load anything out of my memory--- I just said anything I thought of that time. So... memorising is a waste... trust me (or depends on how one thinks maybe :/ )

Let’s do a bit fast forward, enough for a few days of torturing (for people like me). It's the day. Go to the interviewing place you selected in that online form. Fetch the location map before-hand if you really don't know where it is. Don't lose this golden opportunity because of you are lost or dunno how to reach there that day.

You're on your formal attire, holding a clear holder. And having one or two pens (or pencils) in your pocket, as well as 1 thick covered notebook (some people bring test pad or A4 papers with plastic folder). You need a thick one as a base because there is no table provided for you to write, so most probably you write on your thigh and of course something hard is needed so that you can write really fast!

Upon reaching there, search for name lists and sign beside your name (that doesn't really matter, if I’m not wrong). And proceed to the kerani(s); most probably they're just next to the door of interviewing room, insulated. There, you have to sign your name this time, to show that you're present. And then the kerani will ask you to take the original copy out, as well as the photocopied ones. She/he will check and make a few marks there and they're kept. This means you're not bringing the documents into the room. The kerani's will do for you. The groups are arranged this way: 8am, 10am, 2pm or maybe got other time. Most probably it'll be done in 2 rounds or 3, each round take more or less 1 hour. So this means you really got to wait there long unless you're lucky enough being the first batch to enter the interviewing room. Relax and check who's goin' to be with you. Try to be familiar with them and make friends with them. Talk and share things with them. I did that and it really feels great. Of course if you want to, mix with others from other panel and group too! This'll temporarily make you forget about that interview thing and relax for a bit.

When it's your turn, the kerani will give you all number-tag and wear them. The interview is done in group, not one by one into the room (solo). She/he will ask you all to line up at the door to the interviewing room. IF you're the first one, I got to say that... you're lucky (or not, I got number one too ^^). Take a deep breath. Knock the door, stick your head in, greet them and ask permission to go in. Just say it loud enough. They WILL reply to you, don't worry. Go in and stand right in front of the seat according to number. Wait until they allow you all to sit, thank them and sit. Mind your sitting posture. Leg-shakers, learn not to do it in front of the interviewers! You really don't notice you're doin' that if you don't pay attention to that. Don't kill your opportunity.

They real game begins. The way it starts will be different. Some of the interviewers will add a little seasoning so that they're not bored of the repeating routine. So, prepare yourself for anything surprising >< If it goes the common way, there are three:
1. Introduction to yourselves, followed by discussion and personal questions.
2. Discussion and personal questions (You just state your name and school before you talk about your opinion, which would be nicer. Ish, I forgot to do that T.T)
3. Introduction to yourselves and personal questions ONLY (Oh, you're da' lucky man!)

The questions vary from current issue to unexpected ones. We say, no politics at our age, but during our year (2008 ), some of them were asked opinion about the General Election throughout the session (oh ****). Crazily, some were asked about their favourite TV show (or which they watched recently) and why they chose that. Another is: What's the headline of yesterday? This' the question for one of my Alor Setar friend. That night before he didn't read nation headlines, but only sports. Thus he just told them what he knew, which is, the result of soccer match (which team win which team by how much). The interviewers laughed. Is is a good sign? Nobody knows. Anyway he's one of the JPA scholar now, too.

These questions are really unexpected. Just be alert and I don't think you can really prepare for this :/ Read newspapers daily and this might help. If you're asked current issue, the list is here: (Thanks to other Recom-mers)

The question discussed in my own interview session is "My mission and my vision", we're blank for a few seconds, but later know that it's just about our occupation, linked to what course we choose and how we gonna do contribution, something like this. My friends were to discuss about "Reading habit" and "Vision 2020".

Some panel gives 2 minutes to prepare for discussion. Some allocates 5 minutes. It really depends on your luck. Slide out the stationery and write fast. Think fast (I fail at brain storming T.T) and take down the points. Don't write essay, though some people really have the ability to write a 200 word essay in 5 minutes >< Holy**** Just don't try it.

The interviewer will be kind enough to ask who's going to start (while some panel don't, that's rare). If you're ready, raise your hand and start. Being the first can be a good thing, or the other way. Being the first, you can share all of your points, without worrying your points being mentioned by the others. But if you are not the first one, be smart. Point stealing is commonly done in my group. They steal points and further elaborate it so that they need not to draw out new points. It's not wrong, right? ><

Let’s go to the personal questions part. Oh this one is another crazy one. Those who take medical, I got a little list for you to prepare:
1. How do you think about that Kursus Kerjaya Kedoktoran? (Very very common)
2. How many teeth do an adult human have?
3. How many bones do an adult human have?

And for those who take other courses:
1. How do you think can contribute as a/an (job of your course) to our country?
2. How do you think can contribute as a/an (job of your course) to achieve K economy? (I think it's about the same. K economy= Economy based on Information Technology, just boom about, ha-ha)

And weird questions include:
1. What's the name of our Yang Dipertuan Agung? (Famous question in Kelantan state, Kelantanese, be prepared >< and the answer is Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin, the Sultan of Terrenganu and also the 13th Sultan of Malaysia)
2. (Let your imagination goes wild, expect the worst from them... any question just to make you panic. Just answer them calmly. Er, if you really dunno, just admit it. It's only when if you REALLY don't know about that. Saying dunno too much will surely ruin your impression to them too.)

Some of the time, I noticed that if you you're asked 1 question that you dunno, and IF you keep quiet and act like thinking of it, they'll probably ask another easier question. They're kind, they won’t eat you up. Try your best to answer the second question. If you fail them once more, uh, most probably they'll not ask you any other questions anymore >< Amen.

Some of the interviewers are paid to 'shoot' people. Meaning they find out the weak point of the things you said and they question about it. So, think a bit before you wanna say something, and be prepared to answer the questions they gonna shower you.

In fact, these 2 parts are just to test your confidence. Don't be nervous (but I did T.T and the interviewer ask me to relax and don't be nervous >< I’m sure this is a bad thing to me) Even if you think that your answer is a bit out of topic, just continue saying. It's not really a test to your ability of giving perfect points. They'll hear whatever you say. They are kind, again I say.

What happened to me?
In personal question section, I was asked: (we didn't have self-introduction part)
Q: Why do you choose Japan? (I chose Diploma in Engineering: Japan)
A: I think that Japan has nice culture and I would like to enjoy it. The technology over there is great too. I want to study the technology over there and bring the information back to contribute to our own nation. (Meaning import technology, how silly am I :/ )
Q: I don't think that the culture over Japan is nicer than the Western places. Western people respect other people better than the Eastern people. How do you think? (And the other interviewer says in BM) Apakah pendapat kamu?
A: Namun demikian, orang Barat sering dikaitkan dengan budaya kuning... (I haven't finish my talk, but the interviewer cut through my words)
Q: (She nodded) then if we compare between Japan and Korea, why you choose Japan?
A: It's because Japan has better technology and is the closest to our country (among the other countries) (Oh gawd, both the interviewer laugh at me ==)...

This is what happened to me. It's quite brief and I was quite nervous there. Notice that if they ask in Malay, then answer in Malay. Don't answer in English if they ask in Malay. That gonna kill your chance.

The interview days are around 1st of April. There are cases where interviewers play fool with interviewees on that day(April Fool, man). An example is, they keep change the language and for this, you'll need to pay attention to the language they use and answer with that language too. They might like to play fools with ya, but not all.

For those who have learnt other Languages that meets the country(course) you're choosing, you may want to include the certificate in your clear holder. Probably the interviewers'll ask you to speak abit of it. Just say a few simple sentences. For Japanese, some of my friends said there're people just saying 'ohaiyougozaimasu, watashiwa... ' this sort of thing. Sounds simple :/

After this, they will say the session is ending and ask you all whether have any question to ask or not. Then you all will be asked to walk to them and take the clear holders, which the kerani has taken to them. They'll also remind you all to take the online personality test at eSila. At this moment, if you did well and think really need to shake their hands to perfect the whole session, Do IT. English style will do, if you're a Chinese and you do the Malay style, it's a bit weird but again, it's up to you. Then greet them thanks and leave the room. If you're the last to leave, close the door with your hand, though it'll close automatically. Do it, maybe they'll notice this, who knows?

Then don't leave there yet. Take the Slip Temu Duga (original, printed) out and hand it to the kerani, they need this one. Then you'll be asked to leave. Sigh of relieve. Here your blood pressure is normal again.

It's not end yet. You got to take the online personality test in eSila within the 10 days (from the first day of interview). Serve this test seriously. Make sure your browser doesn't break down frequently and electricity supply to your home is stable (man, not a joke ><). If not, go to your friends' house to do this. Who knows that the God wants to play fool on you due to your carelessness? Also make sure that your computer time is correct. Change CMOS battery and synchronise the date and time via internet if you're using XP or Vista IF NEEDED. This sounds funny, but this is just to make sure that the odds aren’t going to happen to you. If not mistaken, this test can only be done ONCE. Not a joke, man ><

Login to that page and proceed with caution. You'll be shown a bunch of questions (around 250) and asked to finish in 45 minutes. There're 4 sections. First is more on moral thing (Smart smart lo here). Second part is about what are you interested on if you're given the chance. The third part is on your current ability. While the last part is about what job would you like to have if it's available to you? There must be a few NOs for the whole list of questions, unless you're the perfect guy ><

After finishing it, click HANTAR and print that page as asked. Then you're done. Pray for the best. Everything ends here. Sit back and rest after weeks of hard work. May rays of luck shine upon you all.

It has been 1 year since I created this article. There're people curious that did I get JPA scholarship or not, just to make things clear, I succeeded too. The course I've chosen is KEJURUTERAAN (JEPUN). Currently studying in UTM (Setapak Jaya, KL) and will be migrating to INTEC (Shah Alam) April 09 onwards.

Please give comments on it. Your valued opinion is much appreciated ^^ Thanks.

Pre-University Courses : From afterschool

2009-12-16T17:54:00.000+08:00

Pre-University (Pre-U) courses act as a bridge between your SPM year and your ideal degree. They are intermediate, foundational or preparatory courses, intended to prepare you for studies in local or foreign universities where you will be pursuing your bachelor’s degree.

Pre-U courses such as STPM and Local Matriculation are for entry into local universities, while courses like A-Levels and the American Degree Programme (ADP) are for entry into universities abroad. Pre-U courses usually take up to two years to complete.

If you are sure about your ambitions or career options, you can opt for a Pre-U programme specialising in a related area such as law, business and engineering. Once you complete a Foundation Programme in any of these subjects, you will be on course to pursue a degree in the same field of study.

On the other hand, if you need more time to consider your future career options, you can opt for a general Pre-U course such as STPM, A-Levels, Canadian Pre-U, or SAM. These programmes are recognised by universities worldwide and will give you time to decide on which area to major in.

3A+ + 3A- = 0A ???

2009-10-14T19:00:00.000+08:00

Gred baru A+ akan diperkenalkan bagi SPM

PETALING JAYA: Sistem penilaian baru bagi Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) akan diperkenalkan mulai tahun ini.

Ketua Pengarah Pelajaran Tan Sri Alimuddin Mohd Dom berkata pertukaran itu akan memberi perincian kepada pecahan tahap pencapaian pelajar-pelajar yang menduduki peperiksaan tersebut.

“Perubahan itu bermakna akan ada gred baru iaitu A+. Sebelum ini tahap pencapaian tertinggi SPM adalah 1A,” ujar beliau dalam satu kenyataan akhbar semalam.

Dalam sistem sedia ada, para pelajar akan digredkan kepada 1A, 2A, 3B, 4B, 5C, 6D, 7D, 8E, dan 9G.

Sementara itu, gred baru yang akan diperkenalkan adalah A+, A, A-, B+, B, C+, C, D, E dan G.

Alimuddin berkata, perubahan itu berdasarkan maklum balas yang diterima daripada pelbagai pihak kerana dalam sistem sedia ada, tiada pecahan terperinci untuk calon yang cemerlang.

“Perubahan ini dapat melahirkan calon peperiksaan yang lebih layak agar mereka dipilih untuk program latihan dan tawaran biasiswa, seperti yang diumumkan oleh Perdana Menteri kita baru-baru ini,” tambah beliau.

Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak pada Jun lepas berkata, satu kategori baru akan diwujudkan dalam pemberian biasiswa Jabatan Perhubungan Awam (JPA).

Kategori baru yang akan diperkenalkan mulai tahun depan hanya berdasarkan merit dan bukannya bangsa.

Menurut Alimuddin, Kabinet telah meluluskan pertukaran gred tersebut pada bulan lepas.

“Ini tiada kaitan dengan peperiksaan SPM kerana ini hanya melibatkan gred,” ujarnya.

Katanya, guru besar di semua sekolah menengah telah diarah untuk menerangkan mengenai sistem baru tersebut kepada calon-calon yang akan menduduki peperiksaan SPM pada tahun ini.

Part 2
Read the following text.

Malaria is an infection of the blood that is carried from person to person by mosquitoes. The disease has been recognized for thousands of years and once was found almost everywhere except in the most northern areas of the world. Malaria has been wiped out in North America, Western Europe, and Russia. However, it remains a serious problem in much of the tropical and subtropical world.

Malaria is caused by protozoan of the genus Plasmodium. Infection begins with a bite from an infected mosquito. The parasite then travels from the mosquito to the liver, where the parasite begins to reproduce. The parasite leaves the liver and travels to the bloodstream, where it infects the red blood cells. The parasite reproduces in the red blood cells, which destroys the cells and releases more parasites into the bloodstream. If another mosquito bites an infected person, that mosquito can then carry the infection to someone else.

There are 4 species of Plasmodium that infect humans. P vivax is the most common in India and Central and South America but found worldwide. P ovale is rarely found outsides Africa. P malariae is found worldwide but less common than the other forms. P falciparum is most common worldwidw, this is the most life-threatening from of malaria.

With malaria, a person will develop a high fever, which comes and goes every other day or few days. How often a fever returns varies with each species of malaria. Headache, nausea and sweating are also common symptoms of malaria.

7. The following are the novels studied in the literature component in English language.

Jungle of Hope - Keris Mas
The Pearl - John Steinbeck
The Return - K.S.Maniam

Choose any one of the novels above and answer the question below.

Describe an event that you think is important in the novel you have studied. Relate its importance to the story. (15 marks)

The Pearl

There are many events in ‘The Pearl’ but one important event is the discovery of the pearl itself by Kino. Kino and Juana with their sick child, Coyotito, make many trips to go pearl fishing and this trip is particularly special in the search for the pearl that would make a difference in their financial situation.

The pearl they actually found causes the story to take a different turn in their life. This discovery of the pearl affects the lives of kino and Juana as it reflects their hopes, dreams and desires. But it is interesting to note that this same discovery of the pearl affects the thoughts and actions of the greedy doctor, the priest, the pearl buyers and the trackers. Even their neighbours in the village imagine what they would do if they had the pearl.

The pearl should have brought financial security for the family and a bright future for Coyotito but what happens is that greed grips everyone and their personalities change. A happy home is destroyed. The family is threatened by wicked men who would not hesitate to kill and Coyotito was the fatal victim.That is the tragedy that the discovery of the pearl brings.

The Principal,
SMK Perwira,
42500 Banting,
Selangor. 22 January 2009

Dear Sir,
Complaint about the School Canteen
With reference to the above, I, as the President of the Student Council, would like to complain about our school canteen. The Student Council conducted a survey recently, and we are very unhappy with the condition and service provided by the canteen operator.

2. When the students complaint about the food which was not tasty, we visited the canteen. We bought a plate of fried rice but it was not fresh. We then noticed that the food was not covered. There were flies sitting on the food and flying in the shelves.

3. Next, we would like to bring up the prices. A few of us had bought the same food but the canteen operator charged all of us different prices. We wanted to check the actual price but a price list was not displayed. This means that the canteen operator can charge as she pleases as there was no price list for the students tom compare the price.

4. Thirdly, I would like to complain about the canteen floor. The floor was dirty. It looked like had never been swept..The floor was also slippery with with remnants of food strewn all over and stepped on. Thus the reasons for the constant accidents among students during their recess at the canteen.

5. The next point is about the environment. It was not a hygienic environment with stray cats moving among the students’ legs in the eating area, eating the remnants of food strewn under the tables. Students had also talked about seeing cockroaches and flies in the canteen’s cupboards.

6. Finally, the students were unhappy with the utensils used by the canteen operator. The styrofoam cups, plates and the plastic spoons were not only brittle but also not environmental friendly.

7. During our meeting, the Council has a few suggestions for your consideration in this matter. The food must be fresh, kept warm and covered at all times. She should use plates, cups and spoons that can be washed and reused. The price list should be prominently displayed.

The environment should be improved such that students would feel more comfortable having their recesss in the canteen.

We hope you will give your consideration to our suggestions and take appropriate action regarding this matter. Thank you.

Yours faithfully,
______________
(Salizah bt. Ahmad)
President
Student Council.

Do you agree ?

c) An invention that has benefited people.

d) Write a story ending with :
“His face red with embarrassment, he turned away and quickly walked
back to his own house.”

e) Advertising

ANSWER

a) It was a calm evening. I looked across the lake, enjoying the sight of the ripples splashing softly across the surface. Seated on the wooden bench, I sighed loudly as I thought of the worries that were sitting so heavily on my shoulders.

“What’s your problems? Do you want to talk about it?”a stranger’s voice which came from my left made me startled. I looked at the man sitting on the other end of the bench. I had not even been aware that he had came and sat there. I looked closely at him. The right half of his face was badly disfigured because of burns. He appeared to be about 60 years old and had a thin oval face and calm, wise eyes. His right hand dangled uselessly at his side. His deformity aside, I could see kindness and understanding in his expression. I hesitated for a moment and then replied bitterly,”My father hates me.”

“Hmm....your father must be scolding you all the time, right?” the stranger said quietly.

”He wants you to get better marks in your exam and stop meeting those boys who are school dropouts,”the stranger said, and I looked at him in shock. “Yeah, he was very angry about my bad grades. I know that I have been a bit naughty, playing truant with those boys in my school. The form teacher called my father and complained to him.My dad was furious. He told me that he was going to deprive me of the motorbike he had given me until i get better grades. He doesn’t love me anymore.” I started crying as I spoke.

He was silent for a while and let me cry. After a few minutes, he started talking.

”Let me tell you a story. I had a son like you, who was rebellious. I tried to advise him but he thought that I did not love him. One day, he brought his friends to play firecrackers in my house.I told him that it was dangerous but he just refused to listen. I went out for a short while.The whole house caught fire and my son was trapped in it. His friends managed to rush out of the house but he was left inside, screaming for help. I rushed into the house and managed to pulled him out of the burning house. I was glad he was safe," the stranger said.

“What about you? What happened?” I asked curiously.

He said, ”A heavy beam fell on me and I was trapped there. The neighbours came and managed to put out the fire with pails of water. When they found me, they thought that I was dead. But I loved my son and didn’t want to die until I had seen him through his education and make sure he had a successful future.”

“You were ready to sacrifice yourself in the terrible fire for your son? You must really love your son,” I said to him in wonder.

“So does every father in this world,”he replied.”They want their children to achieve excellent results and have a bright future. Your father doesn’t know how to advise you anymore. But don’t ever say that he hates you!”

“I think you are right.He has never scolded me before.It was only after I started mixing with those bad hats and getting low grades that he started to scold me. I think that I should thank you for showing me the right path. I’ll go and apologise to him and promise him I’ll be good,” I said.

“Go and make your father happy. And remember, I’ll be here every day around this time. Come and talk to me if you have any problems,” the stranger said.

“I don’t even know your name,” I exclaimed in embarrassment.

“Lokman. Call me Uncle Man, that’s what everyone here calls me,” he answered.

And that was how Uncle Man began to play an important part in my life. He was always there, rain or shine on the bench by the lake. He would listen to my problems and advise me. I faced many trials and tribulations in my life but all those became small challenges after I talked to Uncle Man. Today, I am a successful professional, and I have two men to thank for my success – my father and Uncle Man.

b) With the introduction of the internet, the world has become a smaller place. Buying and selling items through the internet can be done in seconds. At the click of the mouse and in the blink of an eye, billions of dollars are exchanged via banks, from country to country. In the face of such excitement, one wonders whether the conventional method of shopping will continue for long.

I feel that although internet shopping is slowly becoming popular, it cannot take over the conventional method of shopping. Firstly, human beings are complex creatures. It is very difficult to satisfy them. They need to look at products, and feel and try them before they decided to buy. They will go frm one shop to another to compare prices, and ask for opinions before they finally decide on a product to buy. This cannot be done through internet shopping. When the goods are delivered, you have to accept them whether you like them or not.

Internet shopping does not allow for easy refunds and repairs. When you look at a product on the internet, you do not know how efficiently it will function. If you discover it does not work when you received it, you will have to go through a tedious process to return it. If you have bought the product from a shop, it would be easier for you to have it repaired or replaced or to get a refund.

Furthermore, when you go internet shopping, you do not know how reliable your seller is. You do not know where he works, what he looks like, whether he can be trusted or whether such a company really exists. The conventional method of shopping does not give room for such doubts. The seller is there in person to persuade you to buy a product and to stand guarantee for the quality of the product.

Internet shopping also encourage credit card fraud. Since you normally have to pay through credit cards, unscrupulous people can hack into website, get access to your account number and use your credit card. You also run the risk of not getting your product even after paying for it.

The traditional method of shopping allows families to get together for an outing and enjoy a meal later on. It encourages family unity and family harmony. Internet shopping, on the other hand, can be a lonely affair. The shopper has to sit in front of a silent tube and wait for the products to flash on the screen.
In conclusion, I believe that internet shopping will not replace the traditional method of shopping.

c) An invention that has brought positive changes to our lives is the television. First, it helps us in acquiring knowledge. Many programs are of great educational value. They give lessons on geography, history, science, literature and fine arts in a pleasant and entertaining way. Watching these programs keeps us intellectually occupied. They also impart knowledge to us beyond the classroom. We use our senses of sight as well as hearing when we are watching television. That is why television is widely used in teaching in universities, colleges and schools.

Another important point is that it saves money and time. If we had to go to the cinema each day, it would cost us a lot of money. Time is also wasted in getting ready and traveling to the cinema. If we have a television set at home, we can view programs in comfort. We can also choose the programs that we like. Very often, we get live telecasts of important events. Thus, we can update our knowledge and information on world affairs.

Watching television is a healthy form of entertainment for all. To our tired parents, it offers easy relaxation. They can forget their worries when they watch a good musical program, drama or a comedy. After a few hours of serious study, nothing is more relaxing to the student than watching a television program. He would then be less tired and can study much better after that.

Finally, the television is a social asset. Members of a family sit together to watch a program. This helps to bring them together. When members of the family sit together, exchange views and comments, they are not only learning but also improving family ties. Watching television is less harmful than loitering in the streets or associating with bad company. The advantages of watching television definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

d) Zainal looked up from his work. His head was throbbing and his eyes were beginning to water. Surprised to hear the cry of a baby, he stood up and walked to his window.

He could see Siva, his neighbour’s baby in a pram under a tree just outside his house. He thought it was funny the baby being left alone. Just as he was turning away from the window, Zainal saw a strange looking woman grabbing the handle of the pram and slowly pushing the pram away.

Zainal’s eyes widened in amazement. He had never seen the woman before. She was stockily built and her face was heavily done up. Refusing to take any chances, Zainal called out to the woman from his window. “Stop....stop.....What do you think you’re doing?” But she paid no attention and continued to push the pram.

Zainal was sure she was a kidnapper. He had to save the baby from the clutches of the evil woman.

Zainal ran downstairs and dashed out of his front door. He ran after the woman waving his hands wildly, signaling her to stop.

The woman turned around and looked at Zainal in fear. She began to push the pram faster. Zainal too increased his speed determinedly. He soon caught up with the ‘kidnapper’ and grabbed her arm to make her stop.

The angry and frightened woman tried to push Zainal away and hit him several times with an umbrella.

Zainal caught hold of the umbrella and shouted at the woman, “Stop…stop…it…, you kidnapper!”

The lady stopped hitting Zainal and asked, “Who you are calling a kidnapper?”

“You….of course….Why have you taken this baby from his home?” accused Zainal.

“But this is my baby…., she is mine. I have not kidnapped anyone’s baby,” she insisted.

The word ‘liar’ was at the tip of Zainal’s tongue when the baby began to cry loudly. Zainal looked into the pram. Dumbfounded, Zainal stared at the fair roundface baby with two slits for her eyes. She certainly wasn’t Siva. She was a picture of the woman standing in front. There is no mistaking whose baby she was.

Zainal then realized how hasty and silly he had acted. He apologized to the woman and tried to explain about the confusion, but the woman glared at him angrily. His face red with embarrassment, he turned away and quickly walked back to his own house.

e) Advertising is a lucrative business. It is public promotion and deals with the publicizing of a new product, service or idea. The main purpose of advertising is to persuade consumers to purchase a product or service, while providing information about it at the same time. Another purpose is of course, to promote the new product or service in order to boost sales. In short, advertising creates demand for a product.

Advertising is mainly carried out through print and electronic media. Print media range from brochures and posters to billboards, magazines and newspapers. Electronic advertising, on the other hand, includes radio, television and the internet. It often employs the use of catchy jingles and tunes to persuade , attract and tempt the consumers.

Advertising preys on our vanity. We all desire to be admired and accepted, whether socially, physically, intellectually or professionally. We desire prestige and status, and think we can achieve it simply by using product carrying a renowned brand like Calvin Klein or Versage. Advertisements have the power to influence our thoughts and emotions, and lure us into buying a product or service we may have no need for. They are successful because we, consumers, are gullible and vulnerable to the sales gimmicks and strategies used by marketers. We succumbed easily to irresistable offers like ‘Buy one, get one free’ and ‘Free gifts’. Consequently, we end up purchasing a product or service.

Advertisements work because they usually present misleading and untruthly information to create a sense of desire for the product in a consumer. Ultimately, we have the right to choose what we do or do not want. As businesses become increasingly competitive, advertisements will become more aggressive by the day. We, therefore, need to be rational and exercise our rights as consumers and not let marketers take control of our lives through advertising.

Bahasa Melayu (Kertas 2)

1. Baca petikan di bawah dengan teliti, kemudian buat satu rumusan berkenaan manfaat motivasi dalam pengajaran dan pemelajaran serta cara-cara melaksanakannya di sekolah-sekolah.

Dalam sesuatu proses pengajaran dan pemelajaran, motivasi dianggap sebagai unsur penting yang membolehkan murid melibatkan diri secara aktif, di samping menjadikan proses pemelajaran berlaku dalam keadaan yang lebih bermakna dan menyeronokkan. Murid memerlukan motivasi untuk merangsang minat mereka dalam setiap pelajaran yang disampaikan.

Motivasi biasanya melibatkan dua perkara penting, iaitu insentif dan motif penggerak. Insentif merupakan unsur yang merangsang seseorang untuk bertindak dan dalam suasana pemelajaran, insentif diberikan dalam bentuk markah, gred, penghargaan, tanda bintang, wang, hadiah, ganjaran, pujian dan sebagainya.

Motif penggerak menggalakkan murid dalam aktiviti pemelajarannya. Kanak-kanak yang baru memasuki sekolah dapat dirangsang untuk menunjukkan hasil kerja yang baik melalui pujian guru atau menerima ganjaran yang berbentuk ekstrinsik. Motif juga bertindak sebagai pemilih jenis kegiatan yang ingin disertai oleh seseorang. Dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran, sewaktu menyelesaikan sesuatu masalah, susunan gerak balas individu yang dilakukan dipilih mengikut minatnya sendiri.

Motivasi mempunyai kaitan dengan pembangkitan minat. Hal ini merupakan asas pengajaran dan pemelajaran. Guru yang cekap akan sentiasa berhati-hati mencari bahan rangsangan. Pendekatan, kaedah dan teknik, dan alat bantuan mengajar adalah antara bahagian yang lengkap dalam prosedur pemelajaran dan kerap menjadi bentuk motivasi yang paling berkesan kerana mampu menarik perhatian murid untuk menyertai dan melibatkan diri dalam kegiatan mental.
Motivasi yang berterusan diperlukan supaya murid dapat dibantu untuk menumpukan perhatian terhadap bahan pengajaran sepenuhnya.

Jangka masa perhatian kanak-kanak terhadap sesuatu benda adakalanya pendek dan mereka cepat berasa jemu jika perhatian mereka tidak diubah dengan segera kepada benda yang lebih menarik. Motivasi mempunyai nilai persaingan kerana murid rasa terdorong
untuk belajar lebih tekun apabila wujudnya persaingan antara mereka. Guru mampu membangkitkan keinginan untuk maju dan mencapai prestasi yang lebih baik melalui pertandingan prestasi atau kebolehan.

Motivasi merupakan teknik peneguhan yang berkesan. Peneguhan berhasrat untuk menarik perhatian murid dalam masa pengajaran. Pujian dan penghargaan yang diberikan, umpamanya, mampu menggalakkan mereka belajar dengan lebih tekun malah, guru mampu memberikan berbagai-bagai tahap aspirasi dalam kalangan murid dengan mencapai prestasi sejajar dengan kebolehan mereka. Apabila mereka berjaya mencapai atau menguasai pemelajaran, mereka dapat meletakkan aspirasi yang lebih tinggi. Maka, motivasi merupakan hala tuju yang berkesan dalam pengajaran dan pemelajaran.

Maka Hang Jebat, ia pun naik ke peranginan; maka dibukanya peranginan itu, maka dilihatnya Laksamana berdiri di tengah halaman itu.

Maka Hang Jebat pun berdebar-debar hatinya; ia pun fikir dalam hatinya: “Adapun Hang Tuah sudah mati dibunuh oleh Bendahara ; sekarang Laksamana itu tiada dalam dunia ini, siapa pula yang datang itu seperti Laksamana pun sikapnya dan lakunya? Kalau mataku bekas tidur ini gerangan, maka jadi salah pemandanganku?”

Maka Hang Jebat pun turun dari peranginan itu lalu ia mandi pada pasu emas itu dan dibasuh mukanya. Setelah sudah maka Hang Jebat, segeralah engkau turun! Jika engkau tiada turun, sekarang istana ini kunaiki, tetapi sukar kita bertikam.” Setelah Hang Jebat mendengar suara Laksamana maka ia pun membuka pintu itu sedikit; maka dilihatnya Laksamana, diperamat-amatnya,dikenalnya itu Laksamana. Maka nyatalah Laksamana itu. Maka Hang Jebat pun hairan.

Baca sajak dibawah ini dengan teliti dan kemudian jawab soalan-soalan yang berikut dengan menggunakan ayat anda sendiri.

JALAN-JALAN RAYA KOTAKU
Saban waktu sepanjang perjalanan
jalan-jalan raya kotaku
lewat senja begini
tika gerimis menabur benih
menerima kehadiran warga kota
lemas dalam kesabaran
lelah meresahkan
dengan luka parah di hati.

Ketidaksabaran membengkak
kesombongan merajai setiap ruang
semakin padat dengan emosi
kebosanan menggigit pangkal rasa.

Demikian etika di perjalanan
budi luhur warga kotaku
tidak lagi berlaku
yang hadir adalah keserakahan
memacu menghimpun kekuatan
menghakis sopan santun
seperti banjir kilat
melanda pinggir perjalanan
fitrah sang manusia
peradaban kota masa kini.
Jalan-jalan raya kotaku
adalah gelanggang kebuasan
perlumbaan kebiadaban
para pesakit
kemanusiaan semakin mandul
pada penghujung musim.

You should also pay full attention in class, always ask questions and discuss solutions with teachers and friends.
Practise mathematic exercises to develop your problem-solving skills. Master methods of finding equation of a straight line, changing non linear equations to linear relations, choosing suitable rule in solutions of triangles, or extracting information from statistical representations such as histogram, pie charts, bar chart or cumulative frequency table before the exam.
Attempt all the past years’ SPM questions. Sufficient time for repeated revisions will enable you to familiarise yourselves with the various questioning patterns of the exams. Constant practice over a wide range of questions should be a routine before the exam.
Maximise the use of scientific calculators in your calculations. Learn how to use the calculator to solve quadratic equations, linear simultaneous equations, differentiation at certain point, definite integration, probability for z-score, trigonometric ratio for angles in degrees or radians and others, so that checking answers will be easier.
Familiarise yourselves with the lists of formulae provided in the SPM exams. Make a list of the formulae and skills that are normally needed when answering the tests or exams for quick reference.
Familiarise yourselves with the exam format for Paper 1 and Paper 2. Knowledge of the distribution of topics will help you plan revision wisely before the exam.
2. Answering Techniques
Read every question carefully and completely before attempting to answer it. Understand the question by identifying the task given. Instructions such as ‘give your answer correct to three decimal places’ and ‘use your graph to find…’ must be followed in order to get full marks.
Write down the formulae before substituting the values into the formulae. Writing basic concept such as m1m2 = -1 for perpendicular line is also advisable.
Quote the final answers to at least two decimal places and at least four decimal places for probability. Avoid approximation at an earlier stage of the solutions. Answers must be given in the simplified form.
Always try to sketch diagrams so as to understand the questions better. This is especially helpful in Coordinate Geometry, Circular Measures or Solutions of Triangles.
Draw a table before plotting graphs. Answer according to the requirements in the questions, for example, complying with the given scales.
Show all important workings clearly. For example, in solving quadratic equation, you must show the factorisation, using of formula or completing the square.
During the exam, remain calm and answer the easier questions first. Divide your time wisely. Check your answers and make sure all parts of the question have been answered.
Use pen to write. Use pencil only for drawing or sketching graphs. Your handwriting should be clear and big. A long ruler must be used when drawing lines of best fit.
You should not divide your pages into two columns to avoid cramp.

Mathematics

SPM Mathematics is made up of Paper 1 (40 objective questions) and Paper 2 (subjective questions). Two main factors that will determine students’ good grade in the examination are the Study Techniques used when preparing for the examinations and the Answering Questions Techniques applied during examinations.

Content
1. Study Techniques
2. Answering Techniques
1. Study Techniques
Do lots of Mathematic exercises. Mathematics is different from other subjects and requires a healthy amount of mental exercises to succeed. The exercises will help you master formulae skills and also improve your problem-solving skills. You will also find doing exercises will make test and exam questions easier to tackle.
Attempt all the past years’ SPM questions. Sufficient time for repeated revisions will enable you to familiarise yourselves with the varied questioning patterns of the exams. Constant practice over a wide range of questions should be a routine before exam.
Equip yourselves with the lists of formulae usually provided in the SPM exams. You should make a list of and formulae and skills that are normally required to make answering tests or exams easier.
Learn the key concepts in every topic. Mathematics skills are like building blocks where the basics are critical. Revision and doing new exercises every day will help you review the basics and identify key concepts.
Learn to manage your time when answering questions. You should always try to answer the questions within the time limit so that you will not run out of time during the exam.
Studying in a group is also advisable. You can always exchange advice with members of the group when facing difficulties in answering questions.
Maximise the use of scientific calculators. This will help save time in calculation and checking answers.
Cover all the topics from Form 1 to Form 5 when practicing Paper 1 but focus only on certain topics when revising Paper 2. Analyse exam papers so that you can familiarise yourselves with the exam format and topics for both papers.
2. Answering Techniques
You should bring all the instruments needed to answer the exam such as:
blue or black ball point pens
2B pencils
a good eraser
a long ruler
a protractor & a pair of compasses
a flexible curve may be used
a scientific calculator. Bring the same model that you have been using when doing revision and practice so that you are familiar with the keys and functions.

Spend the time allocated wisely. Paper 1 is an objective paper consisting of 40 questions. Try to spend less than 1 and a half minutes for each question. Answer the easy ones first and come back later to the tougher ones if time permits. Shade the answer straight away on the answer sheet provided and move on to the next question.
Paper 2 requires students to answer all the questions in Part A and any two questions in Part B. Answer the questions that you are confident & strong in first before proceeding to the tougher ones. If time permits, you may answer all the questions.
Read the questions carefully before answering. Underline important instructions such as ‘give your answer in three significant figures’, ‘express your answer in standard form’. Provide the solutions to the questions as instructed.
Show all the important working steps in order to get full marks for every question.
