  • Students Still Banned from Politics, Ministry Wants News Hushed Malaysiakini.Com August 11, 2010
    Students still banned from politics, ministry wants news hushed Malaysiakini.com August 11, 2010 The cabinet has decided against allowing university students to participate in party politics. uum discipline action against student 260209 mohamed khaled nordinHigher Education Minister Mohamed Khaled Nordin (right) announced this today, the Star reported this afternoon. This follows the statement by Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin yesterday that the government would not change its stand against allowing student involvement in politics. Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad had also voiced his disagreement with the proposal to amend the Universities and University Colleges Act to this effect. Khaled said the decision, however, did not prevent students from learning about and following political developments. "Section 15 of the Universities and University Colleges Act (AUKU) 1971 is already adequate as students are allowed to be involved in political parties if they obtain permission from their vice-chancellors," the Star reported him as saying. In the latest development, federal government owned Bernama issued a note to editors at 6.30pm stating that Higher Education Ministry has requested the press not to publish any news on this. azlanReacting to the government announcement, Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin expressed strong disagreement on Twitter. "(The) cabinet decision not allowing university students to be involved in political parties is gutless and indicates outdated thinking. There," quipped Khairy, who is also BN Youth head. In a follow-up tweet, he said: "Here's a hint for the cabinet: You want the youth vote, start by trusting them." Among those who had expressed support for allowing student involvement in politics were Deputy Education Minister Saifuddin Abdullah.

The results of a quantitative survey questionnaire for major data collection and qualitative focus group interviews confirm that the initiative have an impact on research and teaching activities in Malaysian public universities. It can be concluded that the categorisation of Malaysian public universities play an important role in the development of research and teaching with greater focus on the university core functions. By utilising the results, the most important implications of this research relate to the practical aspects of the administration of public universities in Malaysia particularly during the government funding reforms. Finally, the researchers believe that the categorisation of Malaysian public universities is a rich and complex subject that offers many opportunities for future research including the comparative edge of Research/Apex Universities over other universities.
