PM calls Gilley a ‘mediocre scholar’

SEPANG: The American academic who riled up Malaysia with his provocative statements over the country’s strong support of Palestine during a lecture at Universiti Malaya (UM) has been described as a “mediocre scholar” by the Prime Minister.

“A mediocre scholar should not have been invited here as a visiting professor in the first place,” said Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
