PETALING JAYA: The Public Universities Vice-Chancellors and Rectors Committee has denied the allegations of “backdoor” admissions made by Dr Haim Hilman Abdullah regarding student entrance into public universities, which deny the rights of children from underprivileged families to continue their studies.
In a statement, the committee chairman, Prof Datuk Dr Mohd Ekhwan Toriman, described the allegation as slander, adding it clearly reflects the irresponsibility of the Kedah State Industry and Investment, Higher Education and Science, Technology and Innovation Committee chairman, who he claimed only wanted to confuse the public and cause unfounded controversy.
