Why is A- no longer an A?

Call for consistency: Dr Wee says the ministry should avoid making arbitrary decisions and changing the goalpost.

KUALA LUMPUR: Many students with straight As in their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) are questioning the fairness of the Education Ministry’s matriculation entry requirements.

Some 190 of these students have turned to MCA for assistance after the ministry’s sudden change in the entry qualifications – where those who scored A- in SPM are not considered to have attained an A, and only A+ and A are accepted, said MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.
