Muhyiddin had said that Na’imah had to take responsibility for the two leaked papers because it affects the integrity of the ministry and public examinations.
Meanwhile, Malay daily newspaper Kosmo reported that the government will have to fork out millions of ringgit for the new sets of Science and English papers.
A source told the daily that the cost included paper cost, logistics, invigilators’ allowances and others for the exams.
Following the leaks in the Science 018, 028 and 038 and English 014/1 and 014/2 papers on Thursday, almost half a million UPSR students around the country now have to resit the papers on Sept 30.
