PAS lawmaker wants police to probe PM, Dr M over leaked papers
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 12, 2014:
With two leaked Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) papers and over 400,000 Primary Six students left in the lurch, the incident has left a PAS lawmaker questioning Umno’s role in the fiasco.
This comes after Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said in Laos that he did not discount the possibility that the leak was an act of sabotage to compromise his and the Education Ministry’s integrity in handling examinations.
Muhyiddin is also the Education Minister.
In claiming that the Deputy Prime Minister’s statement “shocked” him, Bachok parliamentarian Ahmad Marzuk Shaary urged police to investigate on Umno’s top leadership and the possibility of a power struggle within the party.
“This could have led to sabotage among its members,” he said in an opinion piece published in Harakah Daily, the party’s official mouthpiece.
Marzuk also urged the police to investigate “Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir and former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad”.
TRP notes that it is unclear whether Marzuk meant actual Home Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi or Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein.
He went on to call for Muhyiddin to step down immediately.
Earlier Marzuk said the incident has poured cold water over Najib’s aspirations to make Malaysia’s education system among the world’s top three in 15 years.
“Instead it has put Malaysia’s education among the world’s worst and taken the country decades back.”
The UPSR Science examination, which was scheduled for Sept 11, was postponed following a leak of three examination papers the day before.
Yesterday, it was found that the UPSR English papers 1 and 2 were also found to have been leaked, causing and uproar among the public on the consecutive incidences.
Some 470,000 students sitting for both papers will now take the examination on Sept 30.
