Some professors do not retire

RECENTLY, our professors were ruffled by comments made by a respected figure in the academic world, Tun Arshad Ayub. During a press interview, Arshad said that our professors, who now number about 2,500, are lacking in quality.

Naturally, some professors did not take too kindly to the comments. A retired professor now living in New Zealand wrote a letter to the editor to provide a balanced response. He said it was not quite right to describe all professors in the country as lacking in quality.
