PUTRAJAYA – The Malaysian Examination Board (MEB) today clarified that there is no changes to this year’s Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination format.

MEB, in a statement today, said a report in a daily related to purported changes in the format of the SPM examination in the future is not true and the board has never made any such announcement on the matter.

It said that the report, which was published in a Malay-language newspaper, had caused a lot of public confusion, especially for this year’s candidates.

“If there are any changes to the format of the SPM examination and assessment system, LPM will inform the public officially,” the statement read.

Yesterday, the daily published a front-page report entitled “Wajah Baru SPM”, with accompanying articles on Pages 2 and 3. – Bernama, February 8, 2021
