Guide to becoming a prefect at one of Malaysia's prestigous, elite high school, SMK (P) Sri Aman

Hi!
I'm a graduate from SA (Class of 2011-2015) & an ex-prefect.
This post is dedicated to my juniors who aspire to become prefects.

Step 1
Do well at academics.
If possible, score straight As for UPSR.
Coz the discipline teacher might use this as an excuse to kick you out of the Prefectorial Board.

Teacher wants someone intelligent so that the student won't fall behind in class after becoming a prefect since prefect duties will consume a lot of your time-staying back every Fri 4 meetings & duties if you're on cleaning duty, meetimgs for prefect party, prefect installation, camp, etc.

Plus, a prefect is supposed to be the students' role models, so you should show a good example to your classmates by acing your classes.

If you didn't, don't fret! Let bygones be bygones. It'a useless crying over spilled milk. You can either do 'rayuan' aka annoy the discipline teacher everyday to show how passionate & serious you are about wanting to become a prefect or buckle up on your studies coz there's always a 2nd intake the following year.

Step 2
Be a good student!
Follow all the school rules.
Have a clean school record!
Try not to get any demerits.
Help teachers a lot.
Be on the teachers' good books.
Your teachers will be the one recommending you.

Plus, aside from making sure other students abide by the school rules, it's a prefect's duty anyways to help assiat teacher, so you're gonna do it sooner or later.

End
After that, you'll be well on your way through the selection process; interview, orientation-get as many signatures as possible, senior-junior aka practical then finally, your prefect installation!

Word of Advice
1 Be courageous to reprimand others or face the consequences of your actions aka being scolded during meeting
2 Never take off your blazer outside of class, labs eventhough it's hot.
3 Be passionate & dedicated to the board if you want to climb the ladders of success & earn yourself a position in the prefectorial board like Head Prefect, Bureau of Discipline, Documentation, etc.
4 Be polite. Say 'please'. Everone especially the seniors hate rude people.
5 If you're not stern, pester the student.
They'll get annoyed & give in eventually.

SA's Democracy System
Head Prefect nominees are nominated by fellow prefects during meeting.
Then, the nominees will go through a week of campaign-making flyers, badges, speeches & the whole school includimg teachers & students will vote!
