SPM lebih rendah kualitinya berbanding O-Level GCE Singapura?

Pada pandangan saya, kandungan ilmu dalam mata pelajaran SPM di Malaysia lebih mendalam berbanding apa yang dipelajari di Singapura.
Saya banyak membeli buku Chemistry O-Level dan N-Level dan jika saya bandingkan dengan apa yang pelajar Malaysia hadapi saya dapati di Malaysia kandungan subjek itu lebih mendalam dan lebih sukar.


Kenapa pula tahap SPM dikatakan lebih rendah?


Pelajar Singapura yang mendapat C dalam subjek kimia didapati lebih berjaya dalam A-Level berbanding pelajar Malaysia yang mendapat A dalam peringkat SPM.


Jawapan bagi pertanyaan itu terletak kepada Sistem Penggredan Peperiksaan.


Di Singapura dinyatakan dengan jelas jika pelajar itu mencapat contohnya 80 % ke atas maka ia akan mendapat gred A dalam keputusan peperiksaan.


Di Malaysia pula, calon hanya dimaklumkan gred pencapaian bagi setiap subjek namun bagaimana gred itu dicapai tidak dimaklumkan.  Ia mungkin bermaksud kemungkinan selepas berlaku pelarasan (guna graf normal) calon yang mendapat markah 60 mungkin berupaya diberi gred A..... .. mungkin.


Ini hanya pandangan, cuba renungkan le...

Following is the Chinese media interview with PM Lee on 17 Jan 2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cWe2UR-dak

Mr Lee talked about how he succeeded Mr Goh as the new PM:

[Translated from video (21:40 to 22:25)]
“Last time, when I was appointed as PM, there was also no official voting. At the time, a few ministers were having a meal together – this we have mentioned before. It was (then) Minister Wong Kan Seng who invited the ministers for the meal.
During the meal, everyone agreed to let me take up the responsibility (as PM). After this, we have a meeting with our PAP MPs to discuss (the matter), telling them that the ministers have made their decision and the PAP MPs also supported (the decision). So, this was how the party decided.
If there were 2 opposing persons (contesting the PM position) in the party, and required an election (in the party), it would be a very complicated situation.”
[Note: The meal was either referring to a lunch or dinner. The Chinese words mentioned was "Chi Fan" (i.e, makan). PM Lee did not specifically say if it was a lunch or dinner. Whatever it is, it is known that the "makan" was organized by then Minister Wong Kan Seng.]
