Vice Chancellors need to understand that when they attend events, they don’t just represent themselves or the people who agree with them, but also those who will be against such stances.

Pergi tido la bodoh update apa lagi. Esuk Jangan Bangun terus Petition the removal of this RACIST VC!!! Not surprising. They were racists before GE14 and they are still racists after GE14.
