KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 14 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim yesterday received a visit from 11 outstanding asnaf pupils from Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Singgah Manis in Kinabatangan, Sabah, accompanied by seven of their teachers, at Kompleks Seri Perdana.

In a Facebook post, Anwar said he was impressed by the perseverance of the pupils and teachers, who had achieved various successes at state, national and international levels despite coming from a rural school.

“I advised the children to remain diligent in their pursuit of knowledge and to have the courage to chase their dreams. When they achieve success, remember to help their parents and give back to the community,” he said.

Anwar also expressed his appreciation to the school’s teachers for their commitment to educating, guiding and instilling confidence in the pupils to reach greater heights.

“The achievements of SK Singgah Manis pupils strengthen our resolve to ensure that every child, regardless of how far away they live, has equal opportunities to learn, develop their talents and achieve their aspirations,” he said. — Bernama
