As a Malaysian that has worked in Singapore with a Singaporean SO, I was a top scorer in secondary without much effort at all. (I’m really trying not to sound arrogant, I am extremely mediocre at best, but Chinese parents really push u to score which is probably why I did really well- I’m not trying to put down others who did not have the same privilege or had family issues such as monetary issues etc) SPM was really easy for me, and I can’t even imagine how easy it would’ve been for my Singaporean friends. Personally STPM papers were the hardest exams I’ve ever done, with the time constraints and the stress that came with CCA. I showed some form five (spm) papers to my SO (who is the smartest person I know 😂) and he said most of the syllabus is covered in Singapore when the kids are 12-14 🥹

Less resistance to life in general.

this is appreciated but a little simplistic, right? it's cool that some people are just making youtube content and allowing us to laugh, but someone needs to understand where the semiconductors go inside the phones or what specifications are needed for desalinating water hor. it is nothing but a sign of absolutely incredible privilege that we can think "oh maybe dont need all that", it means that the stressed and smart ones who are responsible for this incredible quality of life we experience are going through a whole 'nother level quietly

Can I just say, that these questions are not really representative of “SPM” questions though. A.Math (if it is additional math) for example, there’s integration and differentiation and so much more, um ??? SO if people say it is “too easy” well, it’s because it is not even accurate. Sorry, a bit salty, but I am Malaysian and i know out education system isn’t the greatest but it is not that easy okay, and sometimes the subject material is hard but the bellcurve makes it easy because there’s so many underperformers, unfortunately and it is through no fault of their own, not everyone has equal opportunities to excel at school.

We didn't expect that at all. It's starting to get really competitive nowadays.
