Acquittal of teachers in UPSR leak not binding on similar trials, says lawyer
The acquittal by the Seremban Sessions Court of two teachers who were charged over leaked UPSR examination papers is not necessarily binding over the trial of another school teacher being charged in Kuala Kangsar, Ipoh, for unauthorised possession of the exam papers last year, lawyer M. Kula Segaran said today.
Kula Segaran, who is representing P. Uma Mageswari, 28, from SJKT Keruh in Pengkalan Hulu, said both courts were considered as having equal jurisdiction.
“However, it is considered persuasive due to both cases having more or less similar facts.
“If there is a different decision, the court must have good and absolutely crystal reasons,” the Ipoh Barat MP said.

IPOH: Leaks and subsequent re-sits during this year’s UPSR examinations caused some pupils to “lose interest”, which was a factor in the decline of number of those scoring straight As in the state, said Perak education director Mohd Idris Ramli (pic).
Mohd Idris said he believed the leak in the examinations was a factor which affected the performances from the pupils in the state, with 2,847 straight-A pupils this year compared to last year’s 3,249.
“The issue has caused some pupils to lose focus while there were some who became disinterested because they had to re-sit the papers,” he told journalists after announcing the UPSR results at SK Marian Convent here Wednesday.
More than 470,000 pupils throughout the nation had to re-sit the examinations because of the leaks in September.

More than a month after the UPSR exam papers leaked, a parent’s group representative today wanted to know what the outcome of the police investigation was.
Parents Action Group for Education (Page) chairman Datin Noor Azimah Abdul Rahim said the leaks in the UPSR exams last month resulted in more than 470,000 Primary Six pupils having to resit four of the papers but to date no one has been brought to book for it.
“Those who were detained are on police bail and have not been charged. Why are the authorities taking so long?” she asked.

K. Mangala Bhavani filed the suit on behalf of the pupil, Ananda Krishnan Menon, at the Civil High Court registry on Oct 13 through the legal firm of Messrs Rajadevan & Associates.
The case has been fixed for case management on Nov 12. In the statement of claim, Ananda Krishnan, a pupil of Sekolah Kebangsaan Taman Tun Dr Ismail 2, said the defendants had failed to implement a safe system to ensure there was no leak of the examination question papers.
He also said that the defendants failed to supervise employees and their agents – lawful representatives – to ensure that the question papers did not leak from the beginning of the process of preparing the questions till the process of distributing the question papers to all schools in Malaysia.

Dyslexic schoolboy sues exams syndicate, Putrajaya over UPSR leaks
Naming the Malaysian Examinations Syndicate and Putrajaya as defendants, Ananda said the government did not take action against the examinations syndicate members and their agents over the leaks.
“Instead, the government set up an independent committee to review its standard operating procedure in the conduct and management of public examinations,” the schoolboy said in the legal suit.
He said the syndicate, its employees or their agents were negligent which resulted in the leak of the Science, English, Mathematics and Tamil papers.
He added the syndicate had failed to provide a safe system in ensuring there was no leak and failed to supervise its employees from the time the examination papers were sent to all schools nationwide.
He is seeking aggravated damages for the mess created by the syndicate.
The examinations syndicate is entrusted to prepare and print question papers for all public examinations as these documents are classified under the Official Secrets Act before the examinations start.

Latest report in UPSR leaks made to justify arrest of Tamil teachers, says Hindraf
The Malaysian Insider –
Hindu rights group Hindraf today said the police report lodged over purported leaks in the Tamil and Maths papers for the UPSR examinations was just an attempt by the Education Ministry to justify its arrest of Tamil schoolteachers.
Hindraf chairman P. Waytha Moorthy asked why the report was only made almost 11 days after the examinations and only after the group had raised concerns over the arrest of 10 Tamil schoolteachers over the leaks in English and Science papers.
“If the alleged leak in Tamil schools was reported to police today (yesterday), why then did police arrest those 10 teachers from Tamil schools days before there was any complaint of a leak?” he asked in a statement.
“Why is the Examination Syndicate hurriedly making this report on a Sunday especially after Hindraf alleged a possible racial witch-hunt to pin the blame on Tamil schoolteachers when the alleged leak was at the Sekolah Kebangsaan (national school)?”
Waytha Moorthy also said there was no complaint of any leak in Tamil school exam papers prior to the arrests of the 10 teachers.
…
He said since the initial allegation of leaks was over exam papers from national schools, “top officers” in the Examination Syndicate should have been detained instead, as they were in charge of the safe rooms where the papers were stored.
“Looking at the current scenario and the latest police report hurriedly made on a Sunday by an officer from the examination syndicate, it appears and gives the impression that there is indeed a further cover-up being attempted by unseen hands at the top level in the Education Ministry,” he added.
“Is there a deliberate attempt to divert the attention of the public as the pressure is building for the Education Minister to take ministerial responsibility by resigning?”

‘Crackdown on UPSR leak suspects racially motivated’
Persatuan Hindraf Malaysia today questioned whether there is a racial witch-hunt in the arrest of 10 teachers from Tamil schools with regard to the leaked Primary School Achievement Test (UPSR) examination papers.
Its chairperson P Waythamoorthy said the leaked papers involved national schools, not Tamil schools.
“Hindraf is wondering if the Education Ministry and the police are pinning the blame elsewhere with the arrest of such large number of innocent Tamil school teachers,’ Waythamoorthy said in a statement today.
…
Meanwhile, the former deputy minister was also “appalled” with the “lack of respect” given to the teachers.
“They were forced to wear the lock-up uniform and dragged to court to be remanded.
“This demeaning treatment should not have been given to those in a noble profession,” he said.
Investigate the real culprits
Waythamoorthy urged the Education Ministry to investigate the “real culprits” who were in charge of the Examinations Syndicate and responsible for the secrecy of the examination papers.
“The fact that no arrests were made of high-ranking Education Ministry officers creates reasonable suspicion and gives the impression that there could be a hidden agenda to conceal the truth,” he said.

If it was in the exam paper, then some questions need answers:
1. What aspect of Bahasa Melayu was this question testing the pupils on?
2. What is the evidence on which this question is based that only one of the listed communities is known to practise these values more than the others?
3. Is the question (if it was indeed in the paper) in keeping with the spirit of 1Malaysia?
4. Why was the question which is racist in nature put in the exam paper?
I tried to get a verification and sent e-mails to two officers in the examinations division, ie rofizah.jamaluddin @moe.gov.my and johara.wahab@moe.gov.my, but have not received any response.

PETALING JAYA: The actual Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) Bahasa Malaysia examination paper did not include the alleged racist question that had gone viral on social media, the Education Ministry said today.

The question which asked students to identify which race relates to the good values listed had been circulated on several social media sites, garnering various responses from Malaysians who questioned how the values only relate to one particular race.
The ministry also condemned the act of irresponsible parties taking advantage of the current situation by spreading these rumours and thanked the public for highlighting the matter.

EVERYWHERE SHOCKING DISHONESTY: Leaked exam papers ‘going on for years’ – educationists
PETALING JAYA – Cases of examination papers being leaked was nothing new and have been going on for years.
Parent Action Group for Education (PAGE) chairman Datin Noor Azimah Abdul Rahim said such cases had always been swept under the carpet as the standards set by the Malaysian Examinations Syndicate makes it almost impossible for a “leak to be considered a leak”.
“Although it has been going on for years, the (exam) syndicate has been hesitant to admit to it as there are certain criteria which have to be met,” she said.
“I have heard of the authorities only declaring a leak if the front page of the leaked paper were the same as the actual examination set.”
She said this meant it would not be considered a leak if the font size of the question did not match that of the actual examination papers.
“Many get away with it and we have heard of such things going on for years,” she said.
Azimah said it was high time the ministry treat the matter seriously and a special panel must be set up to investigate and find ways to put an end to it.
“Those behind this should be seriously remanded to deter such things from happening.”
