Plastic pollution is a global crisis. Most of the plastic waste is washed into the sea by
rivers and ends up poisoning sea birds and marine life like marine turtles, dolphins,
whales and even worse, our major marine resource – seafood. Based on the 2017 study
in the journal of Scientific Reports; it is reported that microplastic has seeped into the
flesh of fish, which is then eaten by humans (source: www.nature.com). That is quite
worrisome as microplastic has entered our food chain!
Adapted from Green Heart, 2019
6 The extract above tells us that
A we should stop consuming seafood.
B plastic waste is harmless to marine life.
C plastic pollution has become a problem world-wide.
D our food chain is barely affected by plastic pollution.

It was while I was living in England, in the jostle and drizzle of London, that I
remembered the Himalayas at their most vivid. I had grown up amongst
those great blue and brown mountains. They had nourished my blood, and
though I was separated from them by thousands of miles of ocean, plain
and desert, I could not forget them. It is always the same with mountains.
Once you have lived with them for any length of time, you belong to them.
There is no escape.
Adapted from My Favourite Nature Stories, 2016

A reminisces his time in the Himalayas.

Question 16 to 25
Read the following movie poster synopsis and reviews. Then, answer the questions that follow.
Upin & Ipin : Keris Siamang Tunggal or Upin & Ipin : The
Lone Gibbon Kris is a 2019 Malaysian computer-animated adventure
film, directed by Adam Amiruddin, Syed Nurfaiz Khalid Syed Ibrahim
and Ahmad Razuri Roseli.
After a short prelude and without much lingering, Upin & Ipin:
Keris Siamang Tunggal has chalked up RM 25 million in ticket sales in
just three weeks since it opened in cinemas on March, 21.
It is the fourth feature film based on the animated TV
series Upin & Ipin by Les' Copaque Production after Geng : The
Adventure Begins (2009) and Upin & Ipin : Jeng Jeng Jeng! (2016).
A pleasant surprise however, is the range of emotions one
finds on the faces of the boys that may have been simplified for
TV. This goes for some of the other main players in the show as well.
The colours and details poured to the many backgrounds in the film
are also pretty impressive.
SYNOPSIS
The story of Keris Siamang Tunggal kicks off with Upin, Ipin and their friends finding a bladeless
keris while cleaning Tok Dalang’s shed. After an incident with the keris, the youngsters are magically
transported into a fantasyland named Inderaloka where they meet a guy named Mat Jenin. Upin and Ipin
also meet other characters who are known to us, such as Pak Belalang, Nakhoda Ragam and Bawang
Putih at Inderaloka.
As the friends go exploring in this kingdom, Upin and Ipin learn that they might have a connection
with the keris and what is happening in Inderaloka, ruled by the cruel king Raja Bersiong.
Frankly, there are many admirable elements to catch here!
The story line is super-awesome with I underestimate this movie at first since it is a
breathtaking CGI work! Funny, eye catching, kid's movie but it exceeds my expectation. I love
thrilling and packed with original Malay family that it referenced some popular Malay legends.
values. Every minute of the story is so I really recommend this to people who like
enjoyable. action adventure movie.
It is definitely by far the best Malaysian movie I must say. Complete with a
great storyline filled with meaningful Malay fairy tales in addition to an epic
musical and character development. Congratulations to the team.

Questions 26 to 31 are based on the following passage.
1 It was his first day working at Walmart and Cameron Aulner had a few butterflies
in his stomach. An hour into the shift, he had already made a couple of sales. Out of the
blue, a man started shouting, “Stop that man”, from another part of the store. Aulner who
had lost the use of his legs eight years earlier in a fall from a roof, backed up his
wheelchair to avoid trouble. “There must be a shoplifter,” he thought. “None of my 5
business.” However, the voice grew louder and then the man said something about a little
girl.
2 Chris Belvin was shopping with his two young sons. He had thought of taking a
pass on Walmart that morning as he had woken up with a flu and was moving slowly.
However, it was his younger son Keegan’s eighth birthday and they usually went to the 10
store, before heading home for cake. Now with his wife, Cindy, trawling the grocery
aisles, he took Keegan and Adam, ten, to check out the toys.
3 A former security guard, Belvin immediately noticed the scruffy man in a tan
baseball hat walking quickly down the aisles. The man did not look like he was
shopping. Then, Belvin heard the cry of a little girl, “Somebody help me!” 15
4 In the LEGO aisle, a ten-year-old girl had been pushing her two-year-old brother
in a cart. Now Belvin overheard her frantically telling someone that a man had just
grabbed her backside. “Was he wearing a black shirt and a tan baseball hat?” Belvin
asked her. When she said yes, he took off to find him.
5 Heading towards the front of the store, he spotted the man about 30 metres ahead 20
walking rapidly towards the door. As Belvin closed in on him, the man started running.
Belvin yelled, “Stop him! That man had just molested a little girl.” Then he saw
Cameron Aulner leave his station and wheeled quickly towards the checkout aisles. “I
thought, What is this man going to do?”
6 As Belvin describes the situation, “Cameron wheeled himself in front of the 25
assailant at the perfect time. The suspect crashed into him, and Cameron fell out of his
chair.” Belvin and two other men ran over to them, while Aulner struggled to hang on to
the suspect, whom he had dragged to the floor as he went down. “I think he was really
surprised that a man in a wheelchair just tackled him,” says Aulner. While one of the
other men helped Aulner back into his chair, Belvin jerked the suspect to his feet. The 30

man tried to pull away, but by the time the store’s security guard appeared a few minutes
later, the suspect had given up.
7 “It is not in every call you respond to that the suspect is already subdued,” says
James Bolger, the police officer on the scene. As he led the assailant, Kevin Salyers
away, a group of customers let loose a string of harsh words. Belvin meanwhile, rounded 35
up his sons and returned to the little girl, who later told the police that Salyers had passed
her twice and then squeezed her backside as she tried to press against a shelf of toys.
8 The girls’ parents, who had been shopping elsewhere in the store, rushed to their
daughter’s side and thanked Belvin and Aulner. So did other shoppers. Aulner said he
acted on instinct and credits his only season of high school football for his winning 40
tackle. “You do not disrespect a woman, whether she is two or 100,” he says, adding “I
do not think of myself as a hero. I just did what is right.”

Read the following book reviews and answer the questions that follow.
The most popular holiday places in Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur
Take a short walk or jump on the extensive train network and you can see the delights of numerous
cultures. A shopping haven for shopaholics. Interesting sights such as the Petronas Towers, the
Perdana Lake Gardens, and the Menara KL Tower provide plenty of enjoyable experience to all.
Penang
The colonial city of Georgetown was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has plenty to offer
in the way of museums, a seaside fort, historic homes, and most importantly, a famous street-
food scene.
Malacca
Malaysia's Peranakan city of Malacca is a worthwhile stop for cultural, historical, and colonial
sites. UNESCO even declared Malacca a World Heritage Site in 2008. The relaxed vibe is pleasant
enough to keep people around for a few days. The close proximity to Kuala Lumpur makes getting
there by bus easy.
Taman Negara
Taman Negara literally means "national park" in Malay. Taman Negara is Malaysia's oldest
national park and is considered to be one of the world's oldest tropical rainforests. A long canopy
walkway gives visitors a chance to see life high in the trees that normally isn't visible from the
ground.
Selangor
Here you'll find a Formula One racetrack, the National Zoo, and enormous theme parks. Selangor is
busy and booming; shopping malls sprawl in many directions. When you're ready to be wooed by
nature, the abundance of fireflies along the river in Kuala Selangor is a dazzling spectacle worth
seeing!
Do’s and Don’ts During Our Holidays
• Do be aware of your surroundings.
• Don’t wear expensive jewelleries.
• Don’t carry a large number of cash.
• Do be aware of strangers approaching you suddenly.
• Don’t overload yourself with a lot of packages.
• Do carry your purse close to your body.
• Don’t leave your belongings unattended.

Questions 26 – 31 are based on the following passage.
1 Can a pair of scissors become a tool for empowerment? Can a haircut change the lives of the
underprivileged? Daniel believes so. Daniel and his team give free haircuts to the homeless. Above
the snipping of scissors and the dull buzz of a clipper, the banter and laughter between Daniel and
his customers for the day fill the air. As their hair falls, their smiles brighten. It’s these connections
with the homeless that are at the heart of Daniel’s social initiatives. 5
2 “A pair of scissors is just a tool. What matters is the conversation within the haircut. You have no
idea what that person has gone through, and a haircut is the first step to open up the door to that
relationship.” Coming from a family of artists, it is easy to see why Daniel gravitated towards a
creative career. But to his surprise, his ultimate success was what made him feel restless and empty
inside. He was looking for something more and he would find it with those who had less. 10
3 Daniel’s search for a meaningful use of his skills led him out on the streets of Kuala Lumpur where
he gave free haircuts to the homeless. He knocked on the doors of orphanages and old aged homes
offering his services. Through this simple act of offering a haircut to uplift others, he was able to
find his purpose again. “It’s just amazing when we really put aside money, and you just focus on
the people, something magical just happens during the conversation and that’s what makes me 15
excited about it.”
4 Daniel realised that his skills could also be used to empower youth from underprivileged
communities and began to offering training. He has worked with ex-convicts and ex-addicts, but it
is training of the youth from the Orang Asli community that is closest to his heart.
5 Daniel regularly travels to the village to give free haircuts to the community, and to train some of 20
the youths. When he arrives at the village, he is greeted with warmth, and is soon chatting and
laughing as he and his students cut and colour hair.
6 The village head, Tok Batin, says that jungle work is hard and doesn’t provide a stable income, so
Daniel’s work in the village brings benefits to the community. “I feel happy the youth here have
been studying under Daniel because now they know how to cut hair. With their earnings, they will 25
put the money in the bank to save, and then they will financially support their parents,” he says.
7 The indigenous peoples of Peninsular Malaysia are collectively known as Orang Asli. The 18
Orang Asli subgroups within the Negrito (Semang), Senoi and Aborigen-Malay groups represent
around 210,000 people or 0.7% of the population of Peninsular Malaysia. For thousands of years,
they lived off the jungle. But in modern times, development, logging and palm oil plantations have 30
taken over their lands, and a lack of education and opportunities has made it hard for them to
integrate. Poverty levels in this community remain high, according to a 2015 United Nations report.
8 At the end of the day as Daniel shares a cold drink with his team, there is a look of contentment on
his face. “I’m very excited every time I go to their village, it’s a learning process for me about the 35
whole culture, about the people, about the environment,” he says. “This is where I want to really
journey with them, empower them, and see what I can do with a pair of scissors, to transform their
lives.”

The Living Photograph
My small grandmother is tall there,
straight-back, white broderie anglaise shirt,
pleated skirt, flat shoes, grey bun,
a kind, old smile round the eyes.
Her big hand holds mine,
white hand in black hand.
Her sharp blue eyes look her own death in the eye.
It was true after all; that look.
My tall grandmother became small.
Her back round and hunched.
Her soup forgot to boil.
She went to the awful place grandmothers go.
Somewhere unknown, unthinkable.
But there she is still,
in the photo with me at three,
the crinkled smile is still living, breathing.

Questions 16-25
Read the following text and answer the questions that follow.
HAZE
Haze is harmful smog that limits visibility. Haze can cause eye, nose and throat irritation. It also
causes respiratory and heart conditions to worsen.
Here are some things we can do to protect ourselves:
• Shut the windows
• Check the Air Pollutant Index daily. Any number higher than 200 is very unhealthy.
• Use a N95 respirator when you go out and wear it correctly. Surgical masks do not form a
proper seal on the face to prevent inhaling unfiltered air.
• Use of air-conditioner helps filter the air. Consider replacing your air-conditioner filters, that
removes fine particles from the air.
• Have a bottle of eyedrops handy for those who suffer from eye irritation.
• Keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
What are the effects of haze?
Haze not only impacts visibility, but some haze-causing pollutants have been linked to serious
health problems and environmental damage as well. Exposure to very small particles in the air
can contribute to increased respiratory illness, decreased lung function, and even premature
death.

Questions 26 – 31 are based on the following passage.
1 The smell of coffee wafts through the air as Adam serves his first customers of the day. For
them, this is just their morning cup of coffee, but for Adam this cup of coffee is a chance for a
new beginning.
2 Adam has a soft voice but his voice had a certainty to it. He occasionally giggles as he tells his
story and it’s hard to imagine that this 18-year-old has served a two-year jail sentence. It was 5
in a youth prison in Tanjung Batu where Adam met Diana Sasmita, who planted the seeds of
his fresh start.
3 Diana started The Purple Flower in 2009 to ensure that youth serving jail terms have a safe
place to talk and to express their feelings, after realising there were no counselling options
available to them. Having gone through her own share of trouble as a teenager, she understood 10
the circumstances and situations that could lead youths into a life of crime and its resulting
consequences.
4 Diana expressed that everybody has a bad past. According to her, she herself had had a bad
past, but her parents and friends supported her throughout her transition to become a better
person. Everyone deserves a second chance. 15
5 Adam and his friends are less fortunate teenagers. They don’t have parental affection and
because of the bad influence in their environment, they got carried away and did some
uneventful things that ended with a prison sentence.
6 The importance of family guidance and acceptance during and after a prison term is
essential. The Purple Flower has been focusing on the juveniles that are placed in the prison. 20
Many of the youths serve their whole sentence without seeing their parents even once, leading
to psychological problems and depression.
7 Their struggles continue even after their release. Ex-offenders face discrimination when
seeking employment and a lack of opportunities can drive some to turn back to crime, and back
in jail. This situation is made worse when these youths are rejected by their families. 25
8 Realising that many of the youth are at a loss after their release, The Purple Flower started
Wonder Coffee Wagon Programme. Adam and two other youths were their first students.
9 The first stage of the programme provides juveniles with professional barista training and an
internship in a coffee shop. Partnering The Purple Flower is FineBrew, which shared their
knowledge of everything related to coffee - from how different coffee beans taste, how to brew 30
the perfect cup, to the ins and outs of managing a coffee business.
10 After a three-month internship, students move on to the programme’s second stage, where they
are provided with a cycle wagon to be used as a mobile coffee shop, allowing them to sell
coffee at different events.
11 Through these new skills, Diana hopes to help ex-offenders become financially independent 35
and able to stand on their own feet, with or without the support of their families. “The only
hope that this programme has, is that these teenagers won't be confused anymore when they are
freed, or about what they're going to do when they're out,” she says.

12 The impact on Adam’s life goes far beyond financial impact: “I think, the thing that can help
me feel confident is the duty that was given to me. It makes me believe in myself more. I have 40

There’s nothing in her bed but an old rag-doll
And by its side a shoe.
Why is her window wide, mother,
The curtain flapping free,
And only a circle on the dusty shelf
Where her money-box used to be ?
Why do you turn your head, mother,
And why do the tear- drops fall?
And why do you crumple that note on the fire
And say it is nothing at all ?
I woke to voices late last night,
I heard an engine roar.
Why do you tell me the things I heard
Were a dream and nothing more ?
I heard somebody cry, mother,
In anger or in pain,
But now I ask you why, mother,
You say it was a gust of rain.
Why do you wander about as though
You don’t know what to do ?
What has happened to Lulu, mother?

Questions 26 – 31 are based on the following passage.
1 One man is using the power of food to connect people across Kuala Lumpur, and to reignite
the ‘kampung spirit’ in their communities. Meet Andy, who founded charity Free Food for
Everyone, or 3FE, in 2012 to serve balanced, halal meals to the less fortunate. Friends and
family call him “Big Bear”, and you can see why. At 1.85m tall, Andy cuts a formidable
figure. Mind you, he comes across more Teddy than Grizzly. 5
2 Andy was a successful businessman, before he was struck with a desire to do something
meaningful. The question was what. He stuck his nose in the charity sector, and quite
quickly, sniffed out his second calling. He had noticed that while several organisations were
regularly distributing cooked food to the poor, these were either vegetarian or non-halal
options.
3 10
Free Food for Everyone fills the gap for daily halal meals. Since it started, the charity has
given out more than 320,000 meals. Andy emphasises that while many of the beneficiaries
are Muslims, Free Food for Everyone does not discriminate. Anyone who needs food can
request for it, he says, regardless of race or religion, and counts non-Muslims among the
4 beneficiaries.
15
3FE has since evolved into more than a project to feed people. It is also about strengthening
communities through the currency of food. “Food is the glue that binds us all together. It
opens doors. It creates opportunities. It builds bonds and relationships, so that we can all be
5 contributing members of society,” says Andy.
One major challenge is keeping 3FE’s food programmes running. Andy has been shouldering 20
most of the costs, dipping into his own savings to fund the project. But giving up is not an
option. And he hopes more awareness will inspire the public to dig deep, so no one has to go
hungry. “It’s tough to do something you’re passionate about and there’s not enough funding.
But the dreams of the people I help, who tell me how important it is, the food or services that
we provide, gives me the strength to wake up in the morning.” Free Food for Everyone is “a 25
community project for the community, by the community,” says Andy. “It creates channels,
6 opportunities. It empowers people. So that they in turn would help others,” he adds.
Alya and her family were once beneficiaries of the 3FE’s Daily Dinner Delivery programme.
But when Andy discovered she enjoyed cooking, he asked her to manage the meals for the
residents in her housing area. In exchange, she would receive a small fee to buy groceries, 30
and could use what was left to help with her family’s household expenses. Taking on this
responsibility has not only enhanced her relationships with her neighbours, it also
7 complements her other role as a grassroots leader.
“Meeting them with a smiley face, really makes my day,” says Alya. The free meals have 35
encouraged beneficiaries, many who are elderly and isolated, to come out of their homes and
to socialise. “Previously, they were very lonely and moody. Now, when I see them, they start
to wave from afar. I have seen changes in them. They are more confident, jovial and
outspoken,” she says. The food distribution programme would be impossible without the
commitment of volunteers, young and old.
