KRISIS UNIVERSITI MALAYA

Assalamualaikum to all, selamat menjalani ibadah puasa Ramadhan

It is a real blessing in disguise for the VC to be able to inform the university's vision and its medium term plan. The issue first highlighted by Utusan was not an issue perse. The Minister later explained when the VC's term is coming to an end, there is always issues brought up by certain quarters. The aim was actually to give an impact of recency effect to decision makers.

It is a pity to the lobby team because the VC was given the opportunity or he was able to take the opportunity to explain about UM instead. However, being unprofessional listeners, what was reported and highlighted in the press after that was not as expected. It is useless for the VC to give fact and figures to them, explained the whole situation in detail. The listeners failed to get the picture.

Again, as expected, the VC will be appreciated when he was gone.  Or maybe after UM will be listed in the 100 or 200 top universities of the world. I hope this will happen soon while he is still in UM.

A joker in the making even asked the VC to take action using the University Act for making press statement.
