Home Minister says UPSR culprits will not be protected.

BUTTERWORTH: Police today detained four teachers during a raid in Penang and Parit Buntar, Perak over the leakages in the Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) Science and English examination papers.

Home Minister, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the police had opened an investigation paper and were liaising with the education ministry to jointly carry out a detailed probe into the leakages.

Saying police would not protect the individuals or senior officers involved in leaking the exam questions, Zahid added, “More information will be unearthed by the police, especially on the method of distribution of question papers of not only UPSR, but also other examinations.

“The education ministry and the Malaysian Examinations Syndicate have given us much information to facilitate investigations.

“I wish to give my assurance that the police will not do a cover-up on any individual or senior officer involved in the leakage,” he told reporters after opening the Batu Kawan Umno division delegates meeting here today. - Bernama
