It is now official. The results for SPM 2016 will be announced on 16th March 2017 (Thursday), according to a circular released by the Ministry of Education Malaysia.

Earlier today, news spread through social media stating that there was an issue with damaged optical mark readers (OMR), causing a delay in the announcement of the results.

"The ministry gives quality assurance that the results which are released are correct and credible, to do justice to the candidates," Education Director-General Tan Sri Dr Khair Mohamed Yusof said in a statement today.
