PUTRAJAYA: The Ministry of Education (MOE) is investigating allegation of the 'sale of Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination papers' by a syndicate.
"The ministry is investigating the allegation and will not compromise with the parties involved. Action will be taken and they will be prosecuted by the authorities," it said in a brief statement today.
The MOE is taking a serious view of the allegation contained in a news report by the China Press newspaper today.
