PUTRAJAYA: The Education Ministry has dismissed rumours circulating on social media that the History 1 and 2 papers for the ongoing Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination, were leaked.
“Investigations by the Examination Board showed that no leaks took place in both examination papers, and as such, there is no need for the students to re-sit the papers.
"The ministry is upset that this false statement had gone viral on social media. We advise the public to not spread this misleading information as this can cause confusion among others,” it said in a statement today.
The ministry said it will not hesitate to lodge a report with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission if netizens continue to spread the issue.
A false press statement, claiming that the SPM exam papers for History 1 and 2 papers were leaked, had gone viral on Facebook and WhatsApp.
The statement, purportedly issued by the ministry, claimed that the students were required to re-sit both papers on Dec 8.
