The 2024 SPM results are in. Over 400,000 candidates registered, and according to Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek, this year marks the best results in SPM history. Out of the 378,606 who sat for the exam, 14,179 students—or 3.7%—scored straight As. With all that in mind, we want to hear from you: How did you feel when you got your SPM results? And who helped shape your path after that, especially when it came to choosing your career?
