Ahmad, a Form 5 student in Selangor, was failing Add Maths. He joined a "Cikgu Melatizip Top" intensive course for RM 50. Within 3 weeks, he scored 78% on a quiz. How? The teacher focused only on Hot Topics (matrix, differentiation, integration) and ignored low-weightage chapters. Ahmad passed his trials.
During the SPM trial exams of 2024, the hashtag #CikguMelatizipTop garnered over 15 million views on TikTok. Why? Because students felt the traditional education system was too slow.
One user, Aisyah from Johor, commented: "I failed my Math trial with a 32. I watched Cikgu Melatizip Top for 4 nights—just the 'Zip' sessions. My actual SPM? I got a B+. I didn't even buy a reference book." cikgu melatizip top
Another student, Raju from Selangor, praised the Sejarah (History) module: "He turned 12 chapters of facts into 12 rap songs. It sounds silly, but during the exam, the beat played in my head. That is the 'Top' effect."
However, critics argue that the "Melatizip Top" method promotes superficial learning. Dr. Fazilah Abdul, a senior lecturer at UPSI, warns: "Speed learning helps for multiple-choice questions (Paper 1). But for structured essays (Paper 2 and 3), students need deep comprehension. If you only learn via 'zip,' you might lack analytical stamina." Ahmad, a Form 5 student in Selangor, was failing Add Maths
Traditional teaching relies on text. Cikgu Melatizip Top relies on color-coded diagrams and aggressive highlighting. A leaked "Top Notebook" showed that red indicates "must memorize," green indicates "common errors," and blue indicates "exam tricks."
