UM ‘feudalistic’, says ex-student on trial for protesting against vice-chancellor

Former student activist Wong Yan Ke says the UM leadership has failed to reflect on ‘how damaging its words and actions are to a pluralistic society’. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, April 6, 2022.

UNIVERSITI Malaya remains “feudalistic” and has failed to develop intellectual discourse, a former student activist who is facing trial for protesting against a vice-chancellor during his convocation three years ago said. Wong Yan Ke, who infamously held up a placard accusing the UM vice-chancellor of racism when he went on stage to receive his scroll in 2019, was yesterday ordered by the court to enter his defence on a charge of intentional insult with intent to provoke a breach of peace.
