ON Saturday, The Star reported that the Higher Education Ministry has drawn up guidelines for entertainment activities including concerts at higher educational institutions. However, due to some backlash, the ministry is graciously reviewing these guidelines (“Relook at concerts in universities”; online at bit.ly/star_relook).
The reported intention of the ministry is “to protect the peace and safety of students and the rest of the campus community during such events”. This intention is noble and in good faith.
