PUTRAJAYA: The Education Ministry has taken actions against those involved in setting up a fake website offering Ujian Pencapaian Sekokah Rendah (UPSR) and Form 3 Assessment (PT3) examinations.

The ministry in a statement today said the matter could not be taken lightly as such an act was in violation of the Education Act 1996 (Act 550).

"We (the ministry) have on April 15 announced that UPSR and PT3 for year 2020 have been officially cancelled.

"However, it appeared that an online portal has started offering special UPSR and PT3 exams that students can sit for virtually in September and October.

"These special exams are not under the supervision of the Examination Board and have no relation to the Education Ministry," it said.

The ministry advised the public to obtain verified information from official websites http://www.moe.gov.my/ and (Malaysian Examination Board) http://lp.moe.gov.my/
