This myth is very long ago and still remains as a mystery...

The objective of STPM is to pass people right? How do you explain the fact that 87% of the students passed the exams of the Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) recently, when during your father’s time only 10% would have passed? Are students getting smarter? Or are STPM questions getting easier? Let me put things in their proper perspective.

During your grandfather’s time, they would ask exam questions like:

"In what year did Parameswara founded the Kingdom of Melaka ?"

The correct answer was "1402", and they found that only 10% of the students managed to answer the question correctly. This didn’t go down too well with the authorities, because the objective of the exams was to pass people, right? I mean, what’s the point of having exams if people fail?

So later, they found another way to ask the same question:
Parameswara founded the kingdom of Melaka in the year:
(a) 2001
(b) 2004
(c) 1986
(d) 1975
(e) 1402
Tick the correct answer.

The results were better in that 20% of the students passed. But it was still not good enough, so the authorities tried a different tactic a few years later.

"Parameswara founded the kingdom of Melaka in the year 1402. True or false?"

Well, half of the students guessed "True" and the other half guessed "False".

50% passed.

The results were getting pretty acceptable by now but still not good enough. Most other countries would be satisfied with a 50% passing rate, but not us. The authorities then cracked their heads and then came out with this one:

Read the following sentence carefully.

Parameswara, the cousin of Proton-Iswara, founded the kingdom of Melaka in the year 1402. Underline the name of the person who founded Melaka.

60% underlined "Parameswara",
30% underlined "Proton-Iswara" and
10% underlined "1402".

Yeah!!!!….60% managed to pass!

But the authorities were still not contented. So last year, they came out with this gem:
"One day in the year 1402, Parameswara founded the kingdom of Melaka. Then he went home to have dinner. What did he eat?"

13% (smart students) handed in blank answers,
57% wrote "Maggi Mee",
10% wrote " Kentucky Fried Chicken" and
20% wrote "Nasi Lemak".

The correct answer was anything concerning "Food" of course!

After the marking was over, it was found that 87% of the students had passed.

87%!!!!!…………now that’s pretty impressive!

Well done Malaysia! Perhaps, this is why we have so many students with an impressive string of ‘As’ who can hardly construct a decent sentence! Malaysia Boleh!

Well, I'm going to take STPM next year and will be starting my Lower 6 soon. I'm kinda anxious right now.

I received an email from my friend and the message goes like this

1. Losing all your friends
Man comes home and finds his wife and his friend in bed. He shoots his friend and kills him. Wife says 'If you behave like this, you will lose All your friends.'

Moral of the story? Enjoy threesome with your friends!

2. Brother wanted
A small boy wrote to Santa Claus,'send me a brother'....
Santa wrote back 'SEND ME YOUR MOTHER'.... (Hmm... having Santa Claus as stepfather is cool indeed)

3. Meaning of wife
Husband asks, "Do you know the meaning of WIFE? It means 'Without Information Fighting Everytime'!" Wife replies, "No, it means 'With Idiot For Ever'!!!"

4. The importance of a period
Teacher : 'Do you know the importance of a period?'
Kid : 'Yeah, once my sister said she has missed one, my mom fainted, dad got a heart attack & our driver ran away. (The driver is the son-in-law haha...)

5. Confident vs confidential
A young boy asks his Dad, 'What is the difference between confident and confidential? Dad says, 'You are my son, I'm confident about that. Your friend over there, is also my son, that's confidential!'

6. Anger management
Husband: 'When I get mad at you, you never fight back. How do you control your anger?'
Wife: 'I clean the toilet.'
Husband: 'How does that help?'
Wife: 'I use your toothbrush..'

Good way to get your revenge while maintaining the relationship.
