VICE-CHANCELLORS and deputy vice-chancellors of public universities who rooted for Barisan Nasional will be asked to resign their positions, said Maszlee Malik.

  • Well done Minister. Please get rid of all the apple polishers and kangkungs from running the universities. Besides this, please make all your lecturers and administrative staff to go on contract. if they cannot deliver, you can terminate them easily. At present, most of them are permanent staff and many are very complacent and not up to the mark.

  • Its not whether pro-BN or anti-PH, its about Academic. A Chancellor and VCs should be education, knowledge, students - an pro-BN or pro-PH is not acceptable.

  • Agree. Get rid of the political appointees. They have no place in education. Start appointing dedicated and qualified academics.
