PETALING JAYA: The Higher Education Ministry's resolution to integrate independence and autonomy to student movements and unions will herald a new era of student activism in Malaysia, say the International Islamic University Malaysia and Universiti Malaya student unions.

The two student unions said it is important to acknowledge the idea of establishing student unions in all universities in order to nationalise the Higher Education Ministry's resolution.
