Universities should be non-political


G25 expresses its deep disappointment at the four public universities and their vice-chancellors for co-organising the recently held Kongres Maruah Melayu (Malay Dignity Congress) where the speeches left most Malaysians shell-shocked at the level at which race and religion were exploited to make demands in support of dignity for the Malays and Islam.

The universities have a duty to explain to the public their reasons for taking an active role as co-organisers of the rally. The public are entitled to hear their explanation as the universities are funded by government allocations paid from taxpayers’ money.
