Plagiarism is a form of cheating, when you use someone else's words or ideas and pass them off as yours. It can occur anytime and anywhere. One might not even be aware when it occurs. Plagiarism may happen even if it is on purpose or not which makes it hard for one to distinguish.
Comparing both articles, it shows that the Government is taking action against plagiarism. In Singapore, when plagiarism occurs, penalties like suspension or a failed grade will be given.
