Except for Gan, all the students are science stream students.
MHS principal Abd Razak Che Ngah said the school will continue to encourage and inspire students to achieve excellence.
Gan said she did not plan tocollect her result slip as she feared not doing well.
However, the thought of being able to catch up with her classmates prompted her to collect it herself.
“It was a big surprise for me. I’m still feeling excited and wondering if these were real,” said Gan, 20, from Bukit Baru.
Commenting on the results, state Education Department director Datuk Mohamed Yusoff Osman said 408 candidates obtained a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.0 and above, a 2.27% increase from the previous year.
He said 1,150 of the total of 1,204 STPM candidates managed to secure a full pass.
Mohamed said Yeow Ting Fong from SMK Tun Tuah was awarded the Best Student Award under the special candidate category in STPM 2012 by the Malaysian Examinations Council.
Yeow, who suffered cerebral palsy, scored 3A and 1A- with a CGPA of 3.92 for his STPM.
