KUCHING, 12 Nov: Three students of National High School (SMK) Long Lama, Baram announced the name Sarawak when Johan appeared in the 2026 National Level Data Storytelling Video Competition for the Secondary School Category, organized by Institute Tun Perak.

The achievement, he said, demonstrates the potential and ability of students from rural Baram to excel in the field of data storytelling through the production of creative works.

The second place was taken by Tun Ghafar Baba, MRSM, Melaka through the AZA Group while third place was won by Selandar Integration Full Boarding School, Melaka. - TVS
