(The Star) PETALING JAYA: A 23-year-old Malaysian has emerged as the top student in his final-year law examinations at Cambridge University.
Tan Zhongshan (pic) obtained a first-class honours in the Bachelor of Arts (Law) in June this year at Queens’ College, which is part of the university, one of England’s oldest and most prestigious.
He even scored the “Slaughter and May” prize given by the university’s Law Faculty – an award given to those who achieve the best overall performance in the final-year law examinations.
Other coveted prizes he bagged include The Norton Rose Prize for Commercial Law, the Clifford Chance Prize for European Union Law and the Herbert Smith Prize for Conflict of Laws.
Queens’ College dean Dr Martin Dixon said Tan definitely stood out among the students there.
“He is probably the best Malaysian student I have seen in the last 10 years,” said Dr Dixon, who taught Tan on Land and Equity for two years.
“He is the most able, dedicated and one of the most likeable students I have taught in more than 20 years at Cambridge.”
Tan, he said, was also a great help to fellow students.
“He works really hard, has great insight and intuition. He is a problem-solver, listens well and learns,” he said.
Tan was modest about his achievements. “It was a pleasant surprise as it is hard to predict the end results,” said the Ipoh-born, who has been in Singapore since August.
On his secret to success, he attributed it to “consistent work and a detailed understanding of the subjects”.
The classical guitar player is not done yet. He will pursue his Bar exams, expected to be completed by end of 2011, in Singapore.
“I will also join the Singapore Legal Service in January,” said Tan, who was awarded an Asean scholarship by Singapore’s Ministry of Education after completing his A-Levels at the Temasek Junior College there.
On his reasons in pursuing a law degree, he said, “Being in the legal line gives you a chance to make changes that have a far-reaching effect.”

Tak bijaklahlah mummy andaikan yg dia dibeli.
ReplyDeleteBudak ni blajar kat Temasek JC (A Level) maknanya di Singapore lah tu. Keputusan A Levels pulak cemerlang apa lagi dapat Asean scholarship yg sponsornya kerajaan Singapura lah. Ini mummy makna nya Kerajaan Singapura yg sponsor & biayai pengajian dia kat Queens College. Ini bukan pasal imbuhan lumayan atau cinta2 mummy oi.. Ini pasal org nak blajar perlu duit. Ada guarantee ke dia boleh cemerlang begini. Saya tabik Singapore kerana berani invest dlm budak ni.
Tapi tak apalah all is not lost. Budak ni kalau dah dapat experience kat Singapore nanti munkin dia balik ke tanah kelahiran nya. Cuma adakah Malaysia akan menerima dan mendakap nya?
Salam Mummy,
ReplyDeleteBetui kata Cik Kiah tu Mummy ooi..Singapore dah taja awai-awai lagi..awat kita nak kecoh. JPA ka Mara ka taja jugak tapi takdak lagi la dengaq dapat First Class Honor in law kat oversea tu..kena pulak budak-budak kita..biasaq la..janji bawak balik skrol dah la (zaman dulu depa bawak balik skali bini Mem). Tapi cek ingat la..kalu budak tu anak orang Melayu..bijak tara manapun belum tentu Singapore nak tanggung kut? Depakan kiasu..janji sebangsa..kita pun ada sebangsa dengan kita di Singapore tu..tapi depa agak pandang rendah kat kita di Malaysia ni walaupun sebangsa seagama..tu yang cek heran dengan bangsa kita di nusantara ni. Camana kita nak naikkan martabat bangsa Melayu kalu sama-sama Melayu pun ada "kasta". Tu belum lagi hak yang dokong semangat ketuanan rakyat..hilang kesah survival Melayu..sedangkan bangsa lain sbuk cari jalan memperkukuhkan kedudukan bangsa masing-masing. Sabit tu depa sibuk nak ada "Chinatown" la.."Little India" la..yang tentu takdak "Malaytown". Asai Melayu dah tentu dirujuk dengan kampong dan kalau ada pekan yang majoritinya Melayu..dah tentu tak happening. Jalan Melayu kat KL tu pulak ada la sejengkai. Camana kita ni Mummy ooii!!!

Salam Mami,
ReplyDeleteMemang strategy akhbar The Star mengembur-gemburkan kejayaan kaum Cina di luar negara kerana mereka ingin menyampaikan mesej bahawa negara yang di perintah oleh kaum Melayu ini tidak kondusif kepada kaum Cina.
Pantau dan perhatikan yang tersirat The Star.
Jarum-jarum halus sedang menjalar.
FULLSTOP.
Memang orang UMNO tak suka berita macam ini, mereka suka berita yang UMNO dah bantu berjuta-juta bumi dan berbbilion-bilion RM di 20 IPTA kerana prihatinnya UMNO terhadap bumi. Ada benar cerita itu tapi memang harus diterima juga bahawa tak ramai anak bumi yang dapat keputusan cemerlang di u seperti di Harvard atau Cambridge. kalu ada akan meletup di muka surat Utusan Meloya atau Berita Hairan.UMNO boleh dapat berita lebih kurang begitu dengan tukarkan isi kandungan silabus kepada pengajian patriotisme atau agama di IPTA kerana itu secocok dengan aspirasi negara nak membina sebuah bangsa Malaysia. Mesti ramai anak bumi dapat beribu-ribu first class dan termasuk dalam Guiness Book of Records.
ReplyDeleteTan yang dapat first class itu mungkin dikatakan tidak patriotik dan sanggup kerja di luar negara. Kalu dia sanggup pun kerja di Malaysia suasana tempat kerjannya akan melelahkan perkembangan kerjayanya. Di jabatan peguam negara bukan ada ramai yang berkelulusan cemerlang seperti Tan, ramai yang masih tak faham atau menguasai bidang tugas mereka, asyik nak lanyak parti pembangkang aje.
Assalamualaikum Tuan,
ReplyDeleteApa perlunya kita KESAH semua itu?.
Ramai lagi brilliants yg menyumbang khidmat baktinya kepada Malaysia..TAPI jika MALAY yang jadi begitu then kita kena alert...
Dia nia,Nanti bila nak bakar mayat tetap balik ke Malaysia juga tu . Singapore mana ada tanah kubur yg luas.atau...Bila kelak nak bertukar kerja semula di Malaysia, duit EPF etc sura tak boleh ambil semula then dia juga yg rugi.so biarkanlah!

ReplyDeleteSalam Mummy
ReplyDeleteadila - Pandang rendah? Itu ego namanya bukan org Singapore saja ada, semua org menghidapnya. Tak adil tu sayang, sedih aku. Kita kan sebangsa & seagama katanya. Banyak cakap nanti takut dikata mengada2. Kita terpaksalah tersengeh2 & mengangguk2 saja bila berdepan dgn org Malaysia. Pasal tu ke Melayu Malaysia kata Melayu Singapura sombong2? Maafkan kita nak, kita bukan sombong cuma berhati2 saja. Apa2 pun peduli apa org pandang rendah, selagi jati diri dan budi bahasa kita ada, persetan sama diornglah.
Seperti dimana2 racial preferential mesti ada. Mustahil tak ada. Disini semua pakai merit. Kalau awak layak dan memohon tapi tak dapat scolarlarship boleh bawak ketengah, komplen kat menteri atau masuk kat Straits Times. Anak kita pun dapat Ministry of Education scholarship lepas keputusan 'O' Level (=SPM?). Di sponsor blajar Dip. of Educ. Bayangkan budak 16thn ditangung sekolah & digaji S$800/bln sampai 3thn. Skrng jadi guru menengah, MOE sponsor lagi masuk U tempatan. Tak salah 6 daripada 19 budak2 yg dapat scholarship tu budak melayu. Nak cakap dia bijak tak pulak - Dah rezki dia.
Manusia merancang tapi Allah yg menentukan.
Tapikan Mummy org nanti kata itu sajalah tahap org melayu guru,guru,guru. Hai malaslah nak layan.
Ryzal72 - Tak elok pendapat begitu. Relaks sikit. Siapa tak tahu yg CPF/EPF tak dapat keluar (buat masa ini). Membuktikan wang bukan matlamat budak ni.
