At the inaugural awards presentation, 15 citations were handed out. As headmaster Haji Mohamed Haji Ismail explaned: " Enhancing the good name of the school does not only rest on the students but also on teachers and non-academic staff. Sometimes, efforts are rendered after school hours and go unnoticed."
