"Teaching science or pseudoscience?" one of the comments on social media read.



Critics said that they found nothing wrong with the answer provided by the student, saying that it was factually correct.



They argued that since the particular question asked for an opinion and an explanation to back that opinion, the student in question should be given the full marks as the answer clearly fulfilled the stated conditions.



A few also said that the student should have been awarded at least one mark if the teacher had "followed the marking scheme", and that this was an example of the ongoing "blatant moral brainwashing" in Malaysian schools.
