As the recent Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations are currently underway, students have been expressing their joy over completed exams.
However, there appears to be a limit on what you should say about your exams.
It was recently reported that 2 teenagers were detained on Friday (February 24) to assist in an investigation of a secondary school student criticising the History paper for this year’s SPM.
The video of the criticism has since gone viral on TikTok and Facebook and showed a male student in his school uniform expressing his dissatisfaction with the SPM History paper.
Hulu Selangor district police chief, Supt Suffian Abdullah, said the 18-year-old duo were apprehended after a teacher of theirs had lodged a report.
In the video, the boy had uttered abusive words after allegedly being dissatisfied with questions in the SPM history exam paper.
“The student used vulgar words to criticise those who had set the questions and also insulted Singapore,” Suffian said in a statement.
He said the district police headquarters criminal investigation department have arrested the students at their homes and also seized their respective phones.
“Urine tests for drugs on both suspects turned out to be negative and further checks showed that they do not have any past criminal record.”
“The case is being investigated under Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1995 and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act (CMA) 1998,” he added.
Suffian advised the public to stop spreading the video, which could cause discord and confusion among the people.
The teens later uploaded a video apologising for their outburst in the initial video.
