One thing I'm pretty sure; good academic results don't mean you can code, but poor results mean you can't code. That's what happens here in Malaysia.

- thewileyone 17y agoIn Malaysia, good academic results don't mean anything because the education system is built on rout memorization, not creative thinking.

In fact, the way the Malaysian education system is set up, I would argue that it's probably only possible to be a good programmer by getting poor results. (Unless you're a particularly good exam hacker). Becoming a good programmer takes practice, and practice takes time, and being a straight-A student in Malaysia involves going to school and going to tuition and memorizing garbage - all of which eats into possible programming time.
