JOHOR BARU: A RECORD 6,311 students registered for the qualifying examination to gain entry into the Foon Yew High School for the 2013 academic year recently.

Of the total, 6,174 students or 98 per cent of the students came and sat for the examination which was conducted at its main campus and the one in Kulai.

He said successful students are required to register themselves from Sept 18 to 25. The registration fee is RM724.
