While her peers were getting used to home-based learning during the circuit breaker last year, Chua Jia Xuan found herself coping with an additional burden.
The 17-year-old student from Damai Secondary School suffered a huge blow when her father, a cleaner at a school, died of cardiac arrest on April 30.
She was among the 23,688 candidates who collected their O-level exam results yesterday.
Jia Xuan, an only child who was very close to her 62-year-old father, told The New Paper: I felt very sad and lonely because my father supported me physically and emotionally. But I had to be strong for my mother because she was also having a hard time.
