Why We Built Manabi

Every year, millions of Malaysian students sit for the same exams.

SPM. STPM. University finals. The questions follow patterns. The syllabus is defined. Past year papers exist. And yet, most students spend hours hunting for them — scattered across WhatsApp groups, random Google Drive links, and photocopied booklets from the school bookshop.

That is the problem Manabi is here to fix.

What Manabi is

Manabi is a question bank platform built specifically for the Malaysian education system. From Form 1 right through to university year 4, we organise exam questions by level, subject, and exam type — Mid-Term, Final, Trial, and Practice sets — so students can find what they need in seconds and get straight to practising.

No more hunting. No more broken links. Just structured, exam-ready questions.

We are a new startup — and we are honest about that

Manabi launched in 2025. We do not have hundreds of thousands of users yet. What we do have is a clear vision, a platform that is actively being built, and a deep conviction that Malaysian students deserve better tools.

We are starting small, growing deliberately, and making every decision with the Malaysian student in mind. If you are reading this early — welcome. You are part of the founding story.

For educators and contributors

Manabi is not just for students. Teachers, tutors, and anyone who creates quality exam questions can publish their question sets on the platform and earn a reimbursement share based on how many students practise with their content. The more participation your questions attract, the more you earn. We think that is a fair exchange.

What comes next

Over the coming months, we will be adding more subjects, more question sets, timed exam mode, and a contributor dashboard with live participation stats. Every feature will be driven by what students actually need to perform better in their exams.

If you have feedback, ideas, or questions — we want to hear from you. This platform is being built in public, and you are welcome to be part of that.
