Ang pow, camera phone for 7As
BUTTERWORTH: A RM2,000 mobile phone, a trip to Hong Kong and an ang pow – these are the rewards that 12-year-old Chan Wendy will get for scoring 7As in the UPSR examination.
The SJK(C) Kwang Hwa Butterworth pupil said she had been eyeing a particular camera phone for a long time to replace her current one.
“My father promised to buy me the phone if I did well in the UPSR exam. The trip to Hong Kong is part of our family vacation during the school holidays,” said Chan who hopes to become a doctor.

GUESS WHAT, DAD: Wendy calling her father to tell him the good news as her mother gives her a peck and her brother Chan Wilson looks at her results in Butterworth Wednesday. |
Chan’s classmate Tan Lun Yin, who also scored 7As, said any reward would have to depend on her parents’ budget.
“My parents constantly remind me not to be lazy and to do my revision daily,” she said.
Another 7As achiever, Ong Hooi Yee, said in between revision she would relax by watching Chinese movies starring her favourite star Andy Lau.
“I do not believe in cramming as it can be stressful. Attending daily tuition classes is already a heavy task,” said Ong, who is a school prefect.
