## Inspiration to his grandchildren

In an interview with *[Harian Metro](https://www.hmetro.com.my/mutakhir/2024/05/1095177/usia-59-tahun-bukan-penghalang-ambil-semula-subjek-sains-spm)*, Hamidan expressed his hope that his efforts would serve as an inspiration to his grandchildren.

> **"Even at an advanced age, I believe in the saying 'live and learn,'" he stated. **

Hamidan, who currently works as a driver at the 504th Reserve Camp, first attempted the SPM in 1982.

> **"I study late at night due to work commitments, and my children have helped me by purchasing reference books," he explained.**

## Taking SPM subject one by one

Hamidan did not expect to achieve such high scores and plans to continue taking SPM subjects one by one.

> **"I didn't register for all the subjects at once because I wasn't confident I could handle them all. So, I decided to take it one subject at a time," he said.**

This remarkable achievement highlights Hamidan's determination and serves as a powerful reminder that it is never too late to pursue education and personal growth.
