What I Think

Citing power issues to send home staff and students, Universiti Malaya has just confirmed that authorities will do anything to keep Malaysians in the dark, quite literally. Also, UM is treating its undergraduates like kindergarten kids, who must only follow the official line, and not hear, discuss or debate anything that is not kosher by Putrajaya's standards. Is it any wonder that Malaysian varsities fail to make it to the top in international lists? Is it any
wonder local graduates cannot speak or think? Malaysia needs universities where people can learn and think freely, even responsibly. Shutting their mind is darkening their future, like the locked-down, dim Universiti Malaya campus tonight.
