Look beyond the numbers when promoting professors

I CONCUR concur with Professor Dr Ghazally Ismail’s opinion on there being no comparison bet-ween Malaysian university professors, then and now (“Malaysian university professors then and now – there is no comparison”, TheStar.com.my, Jan 22; bit.ly/star_profs).

As universities change and adapt with the times, it is only natural that the promotion criteria for professors would also change.
