AS recognition for their excellent results in the November 2015 Cambridge examination series, three Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (TAR UC) students were honoured at the recent Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards Ceremony.

The three students, namely Tee Wern Shen, Hor Sui Lyn and Tee Zhen Lee received Top in Malaysia for Cambridge International Level for Business Studies, High Achievement in Cambridge International Level for Computing and Top in the World for Cambridge International AS Level for Mathematics awards respectively.

Wern Shern thanked her lecturers for their help.

“I am grateful to my lecturers as they also cared for our well-being,” she said.

Thanks to the extensive facilities available on the campus grounds, Sui Lyn said she was able to de-stress by playing sports.

“This is because stress was a serious concern for me during my exam preparation,” she added.

Zhen Lee who did not expect to obtain the top placing in the world for Mathematics, thanked his lecturers for their dedication.
