The Director of the CLP Examination Mr. Muniandy Kannyappan: I will ensure that the questions set are not to trick candidates. The questions set ought to be unambiguous, comprehensible and precise. The accuracy of the questions is also ensured during the translation of those questions to Bahasa Melayu by our experts at the Drafting Division of the Attorney General’s Chambers. The paramount consideration is always that the issues covered by the questions are in fact issues current and relevant to legal practice. I will also ensure that the questions set and the legal issues covered for the CLP examination are in accord with the Subject Outline for each of the CLP subject prepared by the LPQB for the candidates. Before the questions are sent for printing it is referred to a moderator who is also a Board Member. This is also to ensure that the questions set are current and relevant for purposes of legal practice. The moderator when moderating those questions will also ascertain the clarity and accuracy of the questions set for the CLP examination. Apart from that my duty is also to ensure that the questions set are not susceptible to any form of leakage. There is in place a rigorous mechanism for the security and safekeeping of the questions from the point of inception of the questions until the examination. The number of personnel involved in the process is kept to a minimum. The secured seal of the examination questions is only broken on the day of the examination of each subject and it is religiously preceded by an announcement by the Chief Invigilator during the examination. Hence it is only the Paper setter, Director of CLP examination, clerk who assists in the typing of the questions, translator, moderator and printer who prints the questions who have sight of the questions before the examination and not anyone else. At all times the prime concern of the office of the Director of the CLP examination is the integrity of the examination. |
