Root cause of failure in final exams


I WRITE in response to the letters “It’s devastating to fail students at the final hurdle” by Disappointed Parent (The Star, Oct 7) and “Look into the real reasons for failure” by Pilocarpine (The Star, Oct 8).

In writing this letter, I seek the attention of the Malaysian medical fraternity, medical schools, Malaysia Medical Council (MMC), PTPTN, and parents of medical students. It’s my sincere hope that what happened to me will not happen to others.
