Whats with the A's?

SPM results has just come out in Malaysia, and I was just browsing through some news at my local online newspaper The Star.

So, the article talks about how well this student does, scoring 17 1A's, the best ever in Malaysian history. And another article reports that this guy who cooks for his family manages to score 16A's. So what if he cooks for his family?!

Every year, students in Malaysia will just take more and more subjects in order to beat the last years top scorer. And...just for the sake of scoring A's. Whats the whole point??? It just annoys me how kiasu they are, and how they tell their grandmother's story, and so call give advice on how they scored so many A's. Its obvious that these students just take the subjects to get A's.

Get a life!!!!
