KUALA LUMPUR, April 10 — The Higher Education Ministry today denied allegations made by a DAP assemblyman that it ignored students’ questions and instead “brainwashed” them at a recent town hall session held to discuss the Universities and University Colleges Act 1971.
“The town hall session was specifically organised by the ministry to collect input and also receive feedback from the relevant stakeholders on the latest amendments that needed to be done on the Universities and University Colleges Act 1971. Ho, who is also DAP Youth’s university affairs bureau chief, was not present during the town hall session on Friday.
“There was no pressure for those invited to the town hall session as it was made known that attendees were free to express their views on the matter. Ho also expressed disappointment with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s repeated remarks in support of retaining the draconian law.
