It is set and examined by the Malaysian Examinations Syndicate (Lembaga Peperiksaan  Malaysia).

This is to know the level of performance of the student. By doing examination the student will be place in the right school as well as their course. On the other hand, it is also to separate the student into classes at the different level. SPM is the most important exam for students as a determinant to further their study.

Opinion about the issues

Other reason why public examination should not be abolished is there will be a competition among the student itself .By doing the examination, it is like a self test to see the position of the students in their study. So that, it can evaluates the students achievement. Besides that, the students are will not only compete with themselves but with other people too. They will work hard in the examination to pass with the flying colours. Not only that, it will increase the knowledge of the student to beat with other people. Beside that, the students will take the examination seriously so that they will achieve their self satisfaction.

Suggesstion

We must proceed the rule of making SPM in our country. It for student benefit too. It will make student more prepared in the future and also can handle the time in studying. SPM were the exams that kept the student focused in the academics during their primary and secondary schools day. Beside that ,it is not relevant to abolish the examination because the students need to be prepared for something in the future.
