JOHOR BAHRU – The Johor state government has announced the postponement of the second term examinations for Johor government religious schools Level 1 and 2 that are affected by floods. 

Johor Religious Affairs Committee chairman Mohd Fared Mohd Khalid announced the matter in a Facebook post last night.

The examinations, which began on January 3, were scheduled to end on January 18. 

“Due to the floods, some schools are affected or used as relief centres, so the examinations are postponed to a date to be determined by the Johor Islamic Department’s education division headquarters,” he said.
