The Malaysian Examination Board director Dr Na’imah Ishak and deputy director of operations Dr Wan Ilias Wan Salleh have been suspended effective immediately.
This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin today.
Quoting tweets from Bernama, Muhyiddin said Na’imah had to take responsibility for the two leaked Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) question papers because it affects the integrity of the ministry and public examinations.
He said Education Department deputy director-general, Datuk Misrah Ibrahim, will take over as Examination Board director pending investigations.
