I would like to refer to an article wrote by a worried Malay­sian on November 9, 2017 pertaining to those students who possibly answered incorrectly a writing question in the English SPM 2017.

The writer shared his view that students should not be penalised severely for incorrectly answering the given question and instead proposed deducting a maximum of three points for not keeping within the boundary of the question.
