Exam leak a crime: Police

JAKARTA (JP): A senior city police officer classified the
selling of the nation-wide examination transcripts as a crime and
urged the related offices to report the case to the police so
that it could be traced thoroughly.

So far, the police have yet to receive any reports over the
selling of test transcripts of senior high school students across
the country on Monday, spokesman Lt. Col. Zainuri Lubis said on
Saturday.

It was reported earlier that officials of the ministry of
national education's Jakarta office had filed a report on the
case with the Jakarta Police on Friday.

"City police haven't received any report on the problem,"
Zainuri was quoted as saying by Antara.

According to him, those taking part in the cheating could be
accused of conducting a criminal act of abusing one's authority
and of leaking a classified document.

Chairman of Jakarta Examination Committee, Sulaeman Hariadi,
told reporters that the ministry's Jakarta office had filed a
report to city police on Friday over the alleged use of
unauthorized test copies.

It was also reported that the ministry had formed a team with
police detectives to investigate the situation. (nvn)
