00:01 What does it take to turn senior into triumph?

00:05 For 38-year-old primary school teacher, Kadeh Reshan Murthy,

00:08 the answer lies in one simple principle--

00:11 never giving up.

00:13 After scoring 7D for his Bahasa Malaysia SPM examination

00:17 in 2002, Kadeh Reshan retook the paper seven times

00:21 before setting out to achieve his dream of becoming a teacher.

00:33 The path ahead was a long and arduous one.

00:36 To make ends meet, he operated a modest cafeteria

00:40 at a teaching institute and devoured Bahasa Melayu

00:43 articles and magazines whenever he could.

01:02 After finally passing the Bahasa Melayu paper

01:05 with a good grade, Kadeh Reshan worked as a temporary teacher

01:08 for three years before pursuing his studies

01:11 at the Raja Malewa Institut Pendidikan Guru campus

01:14 in Surinban, where he earned a first-class bachelor's

01:17 degree in physical education at the age of 32.

01:22 Having been assigned to schools like SK Bukit Vidan and SK

01:25 Kampong Awar in the deep interior of Pahang,

01:28 Kadeh Reshan's impact extends far beyond textbooks.

01:32 His innovative approach in rural classrooms

01:35 has not only garnered awards but also reinforced the notion

01:39 that education transcends boundaries.

01:42 And today, at SK Mahmood in Rawup, his journey continues.

01:57 While Kadeh Reshan earned a degree in physical education,

02:00 he also teaches Bahasa Melayu, Bahasa Tamil,

02:03 and mathematics.

02:04 A teaching kit he designed, called Lapan Konstrak Kati,

02:08 familiarizes students with the alphabet, syllables, and words.

02:12 It involves two phases--

02:14 reading and games.

02:16 This teaching method has helped make

02:17 learning fun for the students.

02:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

02:22 Recently, Kadeh Reshan was named one of the five finalists

02:26 in the Pahang School of Education's

02:27 "School of Education" competition.

03:03 Kadeh Reshan, who took a sabbatical

03:05 to pursue his doctorate in sports science,

03:08 coaches his former colleagues at SK Mahmood.

03:11 He also motivates students who are repeating
