The Education Ministry today dismissed as a rumour 'news' on the social media that the 2014 Primary School Achievement Test (UPSR) has been cancelled following a leak in some question papers.

Second Education Minister Idris Jusoh, on his Twitter account, advised the people to obtain the correct information on the matter from the official website of the ministry.

"The Examinations Syndicate has dismissed the news that the 2014 UPSR has been cancelled.

"For the correct/current information (on the issue of the 2014 UPSR), please surf the website of the Examinations Syndicate at moe.gov.my/lp," he said.
