The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has described the issue of the Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) examination paper leak as a police case.

However the enforcement agency said it will investigate the matter if any elements of corruption are involved.

“If we receive any information saying that there are elements of corruption, the police can forward the matter to the MACC for action,” the commission said in a statement today.

The statement also revealed that the MACC was confident the police will investigate the matter.

Yesterday, the Examinations Board announced that the UPSR Science papers with code 018, 028, 038 would be postponed to Sept 30 due to its questions being leaked on the internet.

The papers were originally slated for today.

Yesterday, Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had apologised to all Year Six pupils and their parents over the leak and promised to probe the matter.

Today, the UPSR English papers 1 and 2 were also found to have been leaked. This was clarified by Second Education Minister Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh on his Twitter account.

He said those who sat for the paper today will have to re-sit them on Sept 30.

Yesterday, it was reported that Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Tajudin Mohd Isa had said that police were investigating the matter under Section 8 of the Official Secrets Act (OSA) 1972. However, no arrests have reportedly been made yet.

More than 470,000 pupils are sitting for the UPSR this year at about 8,300 examination centres nationwide.
