DECLARATION
OUR NATION, MALAYSIA, being dedicated
• to achieving a greater unity of all her peoples;
• to maintaining a democratic way of life;
• to creating a just society in which the wealth of the
nation shall be equitably shared;
• to ensuring a liberal approach to her rich and diverse
cultural traditions;
• to building a progressive society which shall be oriented
to modern science and technology;
WE, her peoples, pledge our united efforts to attain these
ends guided by these principles:
• BELIEF IN GOD
• LOYALTY TO KING AND COUNTRY
• UPHOLDING THE CONSTITUTION
• RULE OF LAW
• GOOD BEHAVIOUR AND MORALITY
Education in Malaysia is an ongoing effort
towards further developing the potential of
individuals in a holistic and integrated
manner so as to produce individuals who are
intellectually, spiritually, emotionally and
physically balanced and harmonious, based
on a firm belief in God. Such an effort is
designed to produce Malaysian citizens who
are knowledgeable and competent, who
possess high moral standards, and who are
responsible and capable of achieving a high
level of personal well-being as well as being
able to contribute to the betterment of the
family, the society and the nation at large.

towards mathematics among pupils. While the Mathematics curriculum appreciation to those who have contributed in one way or another towards
prepares pupils to cope with daily life challenges, the Additional this initiative.
Mathematics curriculum provides an exposure to the level of mathematics
appropriate for science and technology related careers. As with other
subjects in the secondary school curriculum, Additional Mathematics aims
to inculcate noble values and love for the nation in the development of a
holistic person, who in turn will be able to contribute to the harmony and
prosperity of the nation and its people.

Additional Mathematics is an elective subject offered to the upper (MAHZAN BIN BAKAR SMP, AMP)
secondary school pupils. Beginning 2003, English is used as the medium of Director
