KANGAR, Jan 4 — Universiti Malaysia Perlis has clarified that the questions in an Ethnic Relations examination paper that went viral on social media recently for allegedly touching on racial sensitivities complied with academic procedures or standard operating procedures . He said the committee found that the questions were misinterpreted by the public and taken out of context with regard to the course’s learning and teaching objectives, adding that there had also been a blunder in translating the word ignorant to ‘bodoh’ for answer choice IV of question 60.
“Based on the university’s principles of academic freedom and the level of student maturity, all current issues have been identified and evaluated based on academic disciplines through teaching and learning sessions, course work assessment and the final examination,” he said in a statement here today.
