Published by SchoolAdvisor | Sep 12, 2014
The Chief of the Examination board of Malaysia, Dr. Na’imah Ishak and her deputy, Dr. Wan Ilias Wan Salleh have been suspended with immediate effect.
This came after the UPSR fiasco where the test papers for Science and English were leaked onto social media before the exam. A subsequent official investigation is currently underway while some 400,000 students will have to retake the papers on the 30th of September 2014.
Speaking to reporters, the Deputy Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced the suspensions were done in reflection of the integrity of the Ministry of Education and the Examination Board.
The Ministry’s Teaching Development Deputy Director, Datuk Misrah Ibrahim will helm the Examination Board from Dr. Na’imah Ishak pending the investigation by authorities.
