  • Not only the question is controversial but the answers are also questionable and possess high inclination to stir Non MusLim unrest and anger. DAP should lodge a police report and let PDRM investigate the lecturer who set the question and his intent and purpose. Set it in record sobthat he/she won't repeat the same or siMilar mistake. Hope the question setter accountable for his/her action. This is rule of law, freedom of speech is subject to conforming to our Constitution of freedom of religion without affecting other faiths.

  • Please also tell us what was the correct answer the university expected from the students. It will tell us what the university really thinks about Malaysian? There is too much of generalization in the answers.
