No easy end to SPM Chinese saga

IN the past decade, many top-performing students failed to score Grade A for the Chinese Language subject in the Sijil Peperiksaan Malaysia (SPM) examination, although they sailed through with top grades in other subjects.

History repeated itself on March 3 when results of SPM 2015 were released. For many, the SPM Chinese score stuck out like a sore thumb on otherwise enviable result slips with a string of As in all other subjects.
