A piece by Education Minister maszlee on higher education reforms. Malaysia highereducation

a) Firstly, the importance of doing because people learn best from the example that leaders set;

This is why we are committed to bringing back university autonomy as well as to ensure the integrity of academia. I personally believe in the power of individuals - in their creative genius and ability to thrive and be responsible.One of the first things that the Education Ministry has done in crystalising this idea is to repeal a section of the Universities and University Colleges Act 1971 .

We are also working hard to grant our universities autonomy and empowerment systematically from both a legal and policy standpoint. Last year we formed a team of education, legal and financial experts to look into the harmonisation of the UUCA and Act 555 . Here I refer to a few exemplary figures like Prof Dr Ng Kwan Hoong from Universiti Malaya, the first scientist from Malaysia to receive the Marie Curie Award. More recently, we have Dr Abdul Rahman Mohmad from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia who published in the academically renowned Nature Materials journal. This proves to me that we have the talent and ability to succeed at an international level.

For universities and research institutes, this also means increased availability of capital, talent and research opportunities to boost the quality of our research. Industries and private sectors are being engaged in this manner to create more impactful researchers and to further strengthen the mutual beneficiary relation between the universities and the private sectors.

Amid all of these efforts we must never forget our roots and language. Appreciation of literature is importantly needed because of its value in helping us to know ourselves better. This is where we have introduced the Sasterawan@Fakulti to inculcate a love of our literature and national heritage; and further develop our publishing industry, reading habit and learning culture.

To realise this, we have leveraged upon and are expanding and creating critical innovations in the field of education. They include: d) We are also innovating in trans-disciplinary work akin to a liberal arts system like UiTM’s bachelors in eco-technology;

SyedSaddiq maszlee I was there. It was a disappointment.

maszlee scrap the exorbitant unrealistic hike in IIUM student fees. Students from China are here to do business whilst obtaining 1st degree not Ms or Phd. Locking Africans out doesn't bode well for either side.The new fees are prohibitive at best,Africans are lured to the US EU& Canada.

Minister dismisses misinformation about Dr M’s remarks on Dr Zakir Naik | Malay MailKUALA LUMPUR, Sept 20 — Foreign Affairs Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah has urged certain parties to not speculate or make baseless allegations over Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s recent remarks on controversial Islamic preacher Dr Zakir Naik. He said such comments are cynical and... Ya hubungan kuat dgn india skrg india da keluarkan waran tangkap baru hantar balik sudah settle tak perlu berbalah dgn india ok 'Similarly Dr Mahathir said the preacher remains a guest in M'sia as he is considered undesirable by other countries, adding that the gov is seeking to send him somewhere else but for the moment no one wishes to accept Dr Zakir.' Why Malaysia accept Zakir when no one accept him? Dear Foreign Minister. We are unsure that Dr M is as “honorable” as you claim. And if he is, that would imply that your Indian counterpart is dishonorable. So either, or both parties is/are lying. TDM hardly has a sterling record of meaning what he says and saying what he means.

Dr M: Saya akan umum tarikh serah jawatan PMPerdana menteri berkata, beliau tidak akan memungkiri janji untuk menyerahkan kuasa kepada Anwar Ibrahim. FMTNews Post PM bukan post raja boleh serah2 milik. Kena buat pilihanraya la baru betul justify. Anwar the ponggong player, bantat bandid, jubur jockey should never be allowed to become PM. Remember Sodom and Gomorrah? If it comes to pass that Anwar becomes the leader of New Sodom, then it stands to reason that every citizen in New Sodom will be turned into stone.
