00:00Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

00:02According to the HPM decision analysis report,

00:05as many as 24,000 candidates, or 6.5%,

00:09are not eligible to accept the procedure

00:12due to failure in the study of history and the language of Malaysia.

00:16My question is,

00:18what is the Ministry's initiative

00:21to ensure that the candidates who are not eligible to accept the procedure

00:25will be re-examined next August?

00:29And what are the steps taken by the Ministry

00:32for the candidates who have failed in all areas of study?

00:36Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

00:40Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

00:42Regarding the issues for the candidates who have failed

00:46or are not eligible to sit for the HPM review,

00:53indeed, the HPM has implemented a procedure

00:58to identify the candidates who are not eligible

01:02so that at the same time,

01:04we can give awareness to these candidates

01:09to re-examine the HPM review.

01:16In this effort,

01:18the HPM has managed to bring back

01:232,199 candidates who were not present

01:26in the HPM review last year

01:30to sit for the HPM review this year.

01:33And this is a bit of a result

01:35of the joint efforts by the Ministry of Education of Malaysia

01:39with schools and parents.

01:43That's number one.

01:44Number two, regarding the candidates who have failed

01:47in the study of history and the language of Malaysia,

01:51the HPM has provided the opportunity

01:56for the candidates to sit for the HPM review

02:03to improve the HPM's decision

02:06and to have a clear opportunity to enter the university

02:10or to obtain the HPM's certificate.

02:16And in this issue,

02:19we offer for the HPM review,

02:23there are three subjects,

02:25History, Malay Language and Mathematics.

02:28And for this year,

02:30this review will be held in August.

02:34And besides that,

02:35in order to encourage our children,

02:37the HPM also offers the opportunity

02:40to patch the HPM review

02:42that allows some of the candidates' best review decisions

02:47to be combined into one HPM certificate.

02:50And this service is offered to the candidates

02:53who have obtained the HPM review certificate

02:56for the first time since 2009

03:00and it is subject to a review

03:03that is closed in a period of three years.

03:07That's all from me.

03:08Thank you.
