SPM And Other National Examinations Postponed Due To MCO

The Ministry of Education (MOE) has announced on 28 March that a number of national examinations, including Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), have been postponed. The decision to delay the examinations came as a response to the Movement Control Order (MCO) which resulted in the closure of educational institutions nationwide until 14 April 2020.
