A Talk on Answering BM Paper
T o provide guidance to our SPM (Sijil
Pelajaran
candidates
Malaysia)
in
preparing for their upcoming exams, the
Academic Department organised a talk on effective
answering techniques for the Malay Language
subject. This helpful session took place on September
29th, 2023 during the 7th to 10th periods, and it
was led by Cikgu Tan CL, a skilled BM teacher who
has authored over 400 reference books for SPM
candidates.
Mr Tan started the talk with an overview of
the Malay Language examination papers. He then
delved into more detailed discussions to provide
students with valuable insights and strategies for
their exams. One of Mr. Tan's useful techniques
he presented is the "KISS ME" formula for essay
writing:
K for “Kerajaan” (government).
I for “ibu bapa” (parents).
S for “sekolah” (school).
Another S for “sahabat” (friends).
M for “media.”
This approach was meant to help the students to
use simple language while addressing these key
elements in their essays.
Besides that, Mr. Tan’s presentation on the
Bahasa Melayu Standard in Paper 2 might seem
challenging, but he made it easier to understand.
