UPSR Mathematics paper leaked too?

The Mathematics 1 paper for Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) is believed to have been leaked and spread to more than 400,000 exam candidates who sat for the paper on Wednesday morning.

A teacher who recently contacted Astro AWANI allegedly received photos of the leaked questions and answers through WhatsApp at 7.40am - the Mathematics paper started at 8.15am.

The teacher who refused to be identified added that some friends had also received the leaked questions, some as early as Tuesday afternoon.

“The Mathematics question that I saw through WhatsApp was the same with what came out,” the teacher said.

Astro AWANI managed to show the leaked questions to several UPSR students who sat for the exam, and they confirmed that they were the same questions in the exam.

When contacted, the Examinations Board refused to comment or issue a statement on the matter.

On Wednesday, the Examinations Board announced the UPSR examination for Science papers 018, 028 and 038 had been postponed to September 30 due to its questions being revealed on the Internet.

According to its director, Dr. Na’imah Ishak, preliminary investigations found that the leaked questions were spread through social media.

“The Examination Board have asked the authorities to investigate this issue and to take appropriate action according to the law,” he said.

Deputy Prime Minister who is also the Minister of Education, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin apologised to all UPSR candidates for the delay.

He hopes that this would affect the candidates who have to wait until after their holidays to sit for the exam.

School holiday will start this Friday and will last for one week.
