PUTRAJAYA: Claims that candidates have to resit the English paper for Form Three Assessment (PT3) examination on Oct 10, as it was leaked, was not true, according to the Education Ministry.

The Education Ministry in a statement yesterday said people are advised not to disseminate such information as it would cause anxiety for the parents and would also put pressure on the candidates who are sitting for the PT3 examination.

The ministry has confirmed that the news on social media and WhatsApp regarding the leak of PT3 English question paper was untrue.

Earlier, rumours spread on WhatsApp informing that the PT3 English paper would be repeated on Oct 10 due to the question paper having been leaked by irresponsible parties.

More than 400,000 students nationwide sat for the PT3 examination today beginning with the English paper 1 and 2. - Bernama
