So what do you suggest we should mourn his achievements ?
He achievements are inspirations for others that is what we are celebrating.

Hmm where did i say that we should not celebrate? but being proud of being a pakistani while someone else does the hard work and we just sit and watch doesnt sound very productive to me. What have WE done to be proud of our background? Write this post?

You bleep, MIDOL is not for pregnant women. You are not a doctor, are you?

Aah, another one from the twin cities! I see that Cambridge still issues the same certificates for Alevels, like they did in my olden times

Very impressive, he got As in a course like Further Pure Mathematics, which believe me when I say this, isnt easy at all. Most sophomore college mathematics major wouldn’t find that class a breeze. This made my day, excellent news! I wonder if he had distinctions in any courses, or what Cambrdige calls high achievers as theres always a few from Pakistan.

Ali Moeein, best of luck with a prosperous future! You have made us all (people of Rawalpindi, Islamabad, and everyone else in Pakistan) very proud.

p.s. AS level isn’t really Alevel, advanced supplementary, I took General Studies at AS level and it was a piece of cake.

What do you mean by another one?

@Ira

You beep, MIDOL is not for pregnant women. You are not a doctor, are you?

I am not a Dr. but been a victim of these hormones for years and know exactly how to deal with them (basically surrender).

Congratulations, I pray that this thread has a positive effect on a little guy/gal.

PS: I am too old for you be bay-takalluf with me by calling me an beep. lol

Re: Finally after a long time, something to be proud of as Pakistanis…

actually Pakistani students have been increasingly doing very well in O and A levels, heres another article from a while back.

Pakistani children stun world academia

**ISLAMABAD, Feb 22: Building on their brilliant performance, Pakistani boys and girls brought laurels to their country by outshining international students in the recent O and A level examinations of the University of Cambridge.

The University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), acknowledging the distinctions, presented awards to 45 high achieving students from Islamabad here on Thursday.

The High Achievers Award Ceremony, which was organised by the British Council Islamabad, recognised the phenomenal success of the young and talented Pakistani students by giving away awards to them under the categories of ‘Top in the World’, ‘Top in Pakistan’ and ‘Top in Islamabad’.

As many as 55 O level students from all over Pakistan topped in the world in June and November 2006 Cambridge examinations. Compared with three A level students who topped in 2005, nine A level students from Pakistan were among the high achievers in the world in 2006.

Students from Islamabad, who rose to heights in an individual Cambridge International O level examination were Ali Moeen Nawazish, (St Mary’s Academy) in Computer Studies, Myra Ejaz (Islamabad Preparatory School) in Economics, Sameena Najam Butt (Islamabad Headstart School) in History: World Affairs Since 1919, Alyna Ahmad, (Khaldunia High School) in English Literature, Farhan Shaukat, (St Mary’s Academy) in Mathematics, and Aqdas Nida (Beaconhouse School System) in Physics.

A level student Fahad Mahmood from The City School topped in the world in Physics and Thinking Skills and also topped in Islamabad with 3 and 4 AS levels. Fahad Mahmood also topped in Pakistan in Chemistry.

Two cash awards of 500 pounds each sponsored by Cambridge International Examination were given to Hira Yousaf for the top O level student in Islamabad and Syeda Saba Zehra Zaidi for the top A level student in Islamabad.

“The picture changes when Pakistani students leave the rest of the world behind in scoring As and Bs. In 2006, 18 per cent non-Pakistani students got grades A and B compared with 26 per cent from Pakistan. This means that one in four Pakistani students achieved the highest grades.”

She said the brilliant results demonstrated the high quality teaching and commitment on part of both teachers and students.

“Students who have excelled in Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Accounting and Commerce have demonstrated potential for current market trends. And those who topped in Literature and Urdu and other such subjects demonstrated respect for educational values,” Ms Puntis said.

“Staggering nine A level top students are a fantastic achievement. It is the fantastically good record of teachings that bring unbeatable results,” said Simon Lebus.

This was followed by an equally spectacular award ceremony to recognise GCE, ACCA and University of London High Achievers.**

@PakiAmerican

Not surprisingly, the news is that, no good, impotent, and corrupt Gov't of Pakistan has not even patted on his back for this great achievement.

Your 2 cents.......

thats because most of those faggots want to support the intermediate pakistani system or most likely they dont even know what A-levels is!
