Congratulations to Team Malaysia on this historic achievement. You have made the nation proud.

The Malaysian International Mathematical Olympiad Committee is proud to announce Malaysia’s results at the Junior Balkan Mathematical Olympiad (JBMO) 2026, held in Buzău, Romania.

The JBMO is one of the most prestigious international mathematics competitions for lower secondary students, bringing together some of the brightest young mathematicians from across Europe, Asia, and invited guest countries. Contestants are challenged with demanding proof-based problems that require creativity, logical reasoning, and deep mathematical understanding.

This year, Malaysia was represented by six outstanding students:

– Alexander Chew Tian You (Han Chiang High School)

– Benjamin Chew Tian Hong (Han Chiang High School)

– Lai Joe Hern (Oxburgh International School)

– Muhammad Arif Haikal Bin Mohd Afiz (MRSM Kuala Terengganu)

– Aish Faheemy Bin Mohd Redzuan (MRSM Terendak)

– Izz Zulqarnain Bin Mohd Irwan (MRSM Sungai Besar)

Even more inspiring, our silver medalists, Yeoh Yi Shuen and Ho Janson, are only 14 years old this year, and this was their first-ever IMO appearance! As the Australians say, Bonzer! This year also marks the final IMO participation for Chuah Jia Herng, and we are delighted that he ended his Olympiad journey on such a high note. We wish you all the best Jia Herng!

As for the rest of the team, their journey continues. We look forward to seeing them continue to grow and represent Malaysia in future olympiads. Hooroo!

This marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Malaysian Mathematical Olympiad program. Moving forward, we are working towards officially integrating BMO as part of the IMONST pathway, allowing our top students to represent Malaysia in either the Balkan Mathematical Olympiad (BMO) or the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).

Let us continue to support and celebrate our young mathematical talents as they bring Malaysia to greater heights on the global stage!
