Six Sunway College Cambridge GCE A-Level students received the University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards 2011 recently. Stephenas Teh Wee Seng and Wong Sue Yinn clinched the “Top in the World” Awards for Accounting and Psychology respectively, at AS Level.
Sue Yinn received her award from YB Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong, Deputy Minister of Education
Three others, Nguyen Phuong Hai Quynh (from Vietnam), Tham Yow Wai and Krityshaa A/P Karunagaran each achieved a “Top in Malaysia” award for Mathematics at AS Level and Danielle Kot Beng Hooi received a “Top in Malaysia” award for Psychology at A Level.

Sue Yinn said “Most of the credit goes to our psychology senior lecturer, Miss Ida Ngui. She knew our weaknesses and helped us patiently. Getting this award would definitely be out of reach for me if not without her constant guidance and dedication. Not forgetting also, my parents and friends who always encouraged me and supported me. The A-Levels programme definitely contributed to my achievement. It taught me to embrace certain values and qualities such as time management, concentration and self-discipline. All in all, getting this award acts as a motivation for me to work not only harder, but smarter in order to attain the goals I want to achieve in the future”.
