American musician Kyle Green woke up on Tuesday (Jan 30) to the rather bizarre sight of an Instagram inbox full of messages from Malaysian SPM candidates airing their grievances over a tough English listening test.

This year’s exam had allegedly featured a recording of an interview with a fictional musician also named Kyle Green, which bore some similarity to the real Green’s life story.
