housemanship, SPM Malay, O Level Malay

I studied in Brunei, did my Olevel there. Hence, i do not have SPM Malay.

Since i am applying for Housemanship in Malaysia, one needs to have SPM Malay no matter what.

I have called VARIOUS government sectors about this. Well, here are some of the facts that you might need to know.

MQA has stated that Brunei O Level has the same standards as those of SPM. However, you need to confirm with the ministry that you are attached to whether they can accept the substitute.

KKM :
- since i'll be an employee of the ministry, they told me i need to have SPM Malay. I have 1 year after registration to do so.

So, what do i have to do? 

Once my housemanship starts, i need to refer to the hospital's admin and ask them whether they can apply the SPM Malay for me.

Lembaga Peperiksaan stated that i have to register in March as a private candidate. You are required to register with Lembaga Peperiksaan Negeri. Since i am going to Miri Hospital, i need to register there.

Since i do not have SPM at all, i will sit for November paper. However, some said u can skip this, and do the June papers; which are easier instead. I still need to confirm about this once i start working in Miri. The papers will be the same as those normal SPM paper.

I spent about 1 hour, just to get confirmation on this matter. I called MQA, JPA, SPA, KKM and finally, Lembaga Peperiksaan. I got directed to many numbers, having to say the same things all over again! At one point, i got pissed off about it!

Haish, why do they make things complicated?!?! As if we use perfect Malay in our everyday life anyway!
