Exams syndicate: There was no change in Moral paper format
PETALING JAYA: The Education Ministry’s Examinations Syndicate maintained that there was no change to the format for this year’s Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) Moral Studies paper.
t said the paper consisted of two sections in the same format as in previous years, with Section A comprising eight structured questions worth 80 marks and Section B (answer two out of the three essay questions) for the remaining 20 marks.
“The three essay questions were more open-ended (this year) to allow candidates to give broad-based answers based on their ability to use moral knowledge critically to analyse, evaluate, make decisions and solve moral issues that are relevant to everyday life,” it said in a statement yesterday.
“This approach is to discourage rote learning and simple memorisation of the 36 values in the syllabus, and encourage candidates to produce logical ideas,” it added
“The marking scheme gives more room for candidates to score more marks by showing their maturity and thinking skills in their answers.”

Students in uproar over change in SPM Moral Studies paper
PETALING JAYA: Form Five students sitting for their SPM Moral Studies paper on Wednesday were taken by surprise by drastic changes to the examination format, which they claim was not announced beforehand.
Students who sat for the paper vented their anger at the change.
“The first thing that most of us noticed was, ‘where were the nilai murni‘ (good values)?” said a student from Alor Setar, Kedah.
From their posts, it appeared that the format had been changed from structured questions to a more open-ended form.
Among their grouses were hours spent memorising definitions, which now only contributed two out of 100 marks and essay questions which they had never encountered before.
“When it comes to Moral Studies, the methodology of answering is that we need to be flawless in order to obtain our A+,” he added.
