Education Minister Mahdzir Khalid said he is still waiting for the official report from the Examination Board regarding the Moral Education paper in this year's SPM.
Declining to comment, he said he needs to get the official report first before he answers any questions on this issue.
"I can't answer because I need to have the official report first before I answer.
"Now I have only read (about this) from the news, but the report is not with me yet.
"So if I answer just like that, it's not nice," Mahdzir told reporters after he officiated at the International Book Expo 2015 in Kuala Lumpur today.
Last week, SPM candidates complained about politically-biased questions in their Moral Education paper.
Recalling the question from memory, a student had told Malaysiakini that candidates for the paper were asked to answer questions based on a notice and a picture.
(Examination rules prohibit candidates from removing the question paper from the examination hall.)
The notice states that civil servants are not allowed to participate in anti-government protests; the picture is of two students speaking to each other.
Student A is putting up a poster promoting an anti-government rally, saying that he would receive RM100 after he finishes putting up the posters. Student B advises Student A against doing so.
The questions:
(a) Why students should not participate in anti-government rallies?
(b) How should schools prevent students from participating in anti-government rallies?
(c) We should support Student B's stance. Why?
