The laws state that cheaters in national exam

41、s would be sentenced up to three years in prison, held in custody or fined. In serious cases, the violators would be sentenced to three-to-seven years in prison.

42、ts because if they can cheat on exams they can also cheat while at work. That includes corruption, using state funds for private purposes, playing golf when they should be working, and spending state funds on dinners, etc. ! Cheaters have no moral character to hold any job, private or public!Voy (Ma

43、laysia) Totally disagree. Putting students in jail because of cheating on National Civil Exams is nonsense. Its a wrong policy, as cheating on exams does not indicate students are criminals and create risks and damage to society. You put the young students into jail and that will totally ruin their

44、future. A warning note should be given and the warned students should retake the exam by next year.Crystal (China) As the old saying goes, once a cheater, always a cheater.

They need to learn the value of hard work and will give up their fantasy of cheating their way through life.Francy (Canada) I think there should be some kind of punishment but it would not have to be so cruel. It should ring a warning bell for all the examinees, especially those risk takers. It would be fine as long as they realize that there are consequences for their actions so they will not continue to make mistakes
