Teacher ordered to enter defence

In 2014, it was big news with primary school children forced to resit the UPSR exams due to leaked questions.

The above teacher apparently got the question papers via his WhatsApp and not realizing the seriousness had sent to his friends.

He was caught and charged under the Official Secrets Act which carries a maximum sentence of 7 years if found guilty. There are 5 charges against him. We won the case at the Sessions Court and the High Court without the Defense being called to answer the charges. Unfortunately, yesterday by a majority of 2-1 the Court of Appeal Judges allowed the Appeal. The case will be remitted to the Sessions Court for the teacher to give evidence.
