A food delivery rider from Seremban could not believe his eyes while checking his Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) results yesterday, 1 July
According to a report by Bernama, 20-year-old Muhammad Izzuddin Amirrudin is a part-time delivery rider for GrabFood and had checked his results online while waiting to pick up a customer's order.
"I was so excited and ecstatic after I found out I got four A(s) and a 4.0 CGPA. I'm really thankful that all of my efforts and sacrifices had finally paid off," the national news agency quoted him as saying.

The second child in a family of six siblings, Muhammad Izzuddin credits his success to a diligent study regime of two to three hours per day, as well as additional reading sourced from the Internet.
"My parents (are also a big help) as they are always giving me advice and the motivation to face my exams. Especially now, with the COVID-19 pandemic still ongoing," he said, adding that his teachers also contributed a lot by imparting their wisdom with him and his friends.
A recent graduate from SMK Taman Forest Heights here in Seremban, Muhammad Izzuddin says his biggest challenges faced were the lack of face-to-face interactions with friends and faculty, as well as a lack of adequate Internet connectivity.
"A weak Internet connection definitely made online learning an uphill task. There were times when I just wanted to give up, but my parents were always there to rekindle my spirits."
Elaborating on his experience as a food delivery rider, he said it taught him to be more mindful of others from differing backgrounds and helped him mature
According to Muhammad Izzuddin, working as a rider has also taught him how to be responsible and honest.
He added that the experience had also strengthened his physical and mental state.
The job goes on, come rain or shine.
