KUALA LUMPUR: Police have recorded statements from 30 individuals to facilitate investigation into the leak in this year’s Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) exam papers.

Kuala Lumpur Criminal Investigation Department head SAC Gan Kong Meng said they comprised eight officers from the Malaysian Examinations Syndicate, 19 teachers, an officer from the Education Ministry, an engineer and a journalist.

"Police expect to make more arrests soon. The investigation papers will be referred to the Attorney-General's Chambers in a week," he said in a statement here on Saturday.

Eleven of the 14 people detained to assist police in the investigation had been released on police bail. The other three are remanded until Monday.

Following the leaks, English papers 014/1 and 014/2 were cancelled after pupils had sat for the papers last Thursday, while the examinations for the Science 018, 028 and 038 papers were postponed before the pupils could sit for them on the same day last week.

The Examinations Syndicate has fixed Sept 30 for the pupils to resit the examinations. - Bernama
