LETTER |  The agenda of misrepresentation and disinformation is still actively carried out in some of our universities.

| The below are the peculiarities delivered by a number of academics in Malaysia who have been continually invited to deliver them within and outside of the university ever since prior to the general election of May 2018:

3. The Yang Di-Pertuan Agong has real powers over the armed forces in Malaysia which are confirmed by the court decision in Armed Forces Council of Malaysia v Major Fadzil. It could be observed that there has been an active and concerted effort by some quarters in the Malaysian academia to continue to spread the above misrepresentations. One would have thought that ever since the loss of Umno in May 2018, Malaysian universities would be active in deconstructing the web of propaganda and misrepresentations which ostensibly had been carried out in the name and endeavour of Malay history and identity.

While there is naturally a concern that one must guard against the influence of orientalism in distorting and exoticising local history for the benefit of Westerners, it is beyond reasonable comprehension as to how any academic, let alone any reasonable person, could pretend that feudalism and the oppression of the Malays by the Malay ruling class which included the Malay nobility did not exist.

These academics could have read all the treaties that the British signed in the past with the Malay rulers to show that none of them contained any duty on the part of the colonial power to help the Malays. Also, these academics could have attacked orientalism in dissecting the true intention of Frank A Swettenham in describing the Malays as “the heir to the inheritance” inThere seems to be a 'deep state' in our academia.
