Dengkil: A viral press statement displaying the percentage of student achievement by race for the 2025 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) results is untrue, said Deputy Education Minister Wong Kah Woh. He stated that the Ministry of Education (MOE) did not issue the statement, and the information was not part of the official results announcement made yesterday.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Wong emphasized that the circulating information is entirely incorrect. He made this clarification during a working visit to the Replacement Building Project (Daif 2022) at Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Tamil (SJKT) Dengkil. Wong confirmed that both the conduct of the SPM examination and the announcement of results adhered strictly to established benchmarks and standards.

"For this SPM, we conducted the examination in compliance with all set benchmarks and standards for every single subject. Similarly, for the date of the results announcement, we ensured the results were released at 10 am simultaneously nationwide," Wong stated. He highlighted that the uniform release of SPM results ensures transparency, a standard that the MOE will not compromise on.

Wong was addressing a viral press statement, featuring the MOE logo, which has been circulating on social media. The statement claimed to contain an analysis of student achievement percentages by race, indicating that Malay candidates who took the 2025 SPM had the lowest pass percentage compared to Chinese and Indian students.
