the requirement of having at least b4 in the 5 science/maths subjects at spm is a ruling by the mmc for critical courses......

they needed to do so, to prevent very mediocre students from entering these courses....because selection in ipts/3rd world foreign unis is based on money, not qualification.....

nobody knows what's the implication if one without that minimum graduates somewhere and wants to register to work in msia....there are thousands in this situation before the guideline was issued last year.....

those who did not satisfy spm grade rules for critical courses, just do a full pre-u like a levels, sam/ausmat, ib, stpm.....and that result will over-ride....no need resit spm papers.....
