Three sets of twins from SMK Bukit Jambul in Penang have scored straight A's in the 2024 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination
According to the New Straits Times, the high-achieving twins are K Abirami and K Abinaya; Teh Zhe Huei and Teh Zhe Yee; and Nurul Aliya Najwa Muhamad Rusli and Nurul Ain Nafisha Muhamad Rusli, all aged 18.
They were among the school's 49 straight-A students this year.
The Teh siblings, who sat for nine subjects including additional mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology, said healthy sibling rivalry kept them motivated.
Zhe Huei earned eight A+ and one A, while Zhe Yee scored five A+ and four A's. While they studied individually due to different interests, they often consulted one another.
"We've always been together, but it looks like we may soon go our separate ways to pursue our dreams," said Zhe Huei, who plans to further his studies in biology.
Zhe Yee aspires to become a doctor or pharmacist.
Sisters Nurul Aliya and Nurul Ain plan to pursue law degrees at Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM)
They sat for eight subjects and celebrated their results with two close friends, who also scored straight A's.
Nurul Aliya, who scored six A+ and two A's, said she focused on paying full attention in class, while Nurul Ain scored six A+, one A, and one A-.
She said teachers and friends often mistook her for her younger sister.
"Those were fond memories," she said, adding that their father works at the front desk of a hotel.
The final pair, Abirami and Abinaya, took the same subjects as the Teh twins
Abinaya, who has dreamed of becoming a veterinarian since she was 5, scored nine A's, including one A+ and one A-, while her sister, who aspires to be an engineer, scored nine A's with two A+ and three A-.
The sisters said they often studied together and supported one another through tough subjects.
Their father is a doctor and their mother, a lecturer.
