A retired teacher from Serembanโ€™s Tunku Kurshiah College (TKC) was speechless after receiving a brand new car from his students upon his retirement.

Hailing from Seremban, the 58-year-old Ahmad Bidin who taught Additional Mathematics told Malay Mail that the Perodua Aruz he received was a gift that was beyond his imagination.

โ€œTowards the end of my retirement party last Sunday, a video was played showing the interior design of my current car, Perodua Alza.

โ€œThen the video changed showing the interior design of another car and it didnโ€™t hit me that my students were hinting that the gift would be a new car.

โ€œAnd while I was being ushered out of the hall, the Perodua Aruz was right in front of my eyes with a customised number plate โ€˜AMD 8521โ€™.

โ€œThe number plate indicates my name and the years Iโ€™ve dedicated to TKC โ€” from 1985 right up to this year.โ€

Ahmad, who has been teaching in TKC for the past 35 years said that the car was a lump sum gift from students in the 1980โ€™s till the 2021 batch.

โ€œMany of my students who were in the 1980โ€™s batch have children who are still studying in TKC.

โ€œIโ€™m thankful and I still canโ€™t wrap my head around this magnificent gift.

โ€œTo my students, thank you so much.โ€

Asked about his post-retirement plans, Ahmad Bidin said he wants to spend more time with his family.

โ€œIโ€™ve spent more time on my job as a teacher and now I want to be with my family as much as possible,โ€ he said.

Many took to Twitter to thank the teacher for making Mathematics a subject easy to learn, and for not giving up on his students.
