PETALING JAYA: The Youth and Sports Ministry have ensured that the 18 young athletes who will compete in the SEA Games in Thailand this December will still sit for their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations despite the clash in schedules.

Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh said they have received feedback from the Education Ministry following discussions with the National Sports Council (NSC).
