Govt dismayed UM became 'ground zero' for Gilley's insensitive remarks, says Fahmi

PETALING JAYA: The government is disappointed that Universiti Malaya (UM) invited a foreign speaker whose statements sparked unnecessary controversy while disrespecting community sentiments, says Fahmi Fadzil.

The government spokesman and Communications Minister expressed severe dismay that UM, being possibly the most prestigious and historically important institute of higher learning in our nation’s history, became ground zero for such comments.
