SM Sains Miri and SMK Luak were in second and third places respectively.

The contest was organised by Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP), in collaboration with the State Education Department and Miri District Education Office for the 2012 Bahasa Malaysia Carnival.
It was open to all secondary schools in the division to create and prepare a conducive atmosphere on the use of standard Bahasa Malaysia for students.
It was also to produce model usage of the language in grammar, pronunciation and style, as well as train students to be more capable in their thinking, to master the language and use it more effectively.
SMKL was led by teachers-in-charge Nor Asmah Ahmad Tarmuzi and Mohd Nor Izwan Othman.
The win marks another milestone for the school.
The forum was headed by judges Abdul Rasid Subet (DBP), Dayang Norazan Kartini (DBP) and Zuraimie Bulee (representing Miri District Education Office).
