Voice up: 'Who is instigating UiTM students?'

When BN/Umno recommends, no-one, absolutely no-one, can reject. But a mere suggestion by Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim leads to a protest?'

On MB proposes special meet with UiTM students

Dian Abdullah: I do not understand the fuss over MB's Khalid Ibrahim's suggestion that other races should be allowed into UiTM.

Who are the instigators from Umno bribing these students? Maybe these students should just check past records and they will notice that two Chinese girls - both non-Muslim - were allowed to study there before.

When BN/Umno recommends, no-one, absolutely no-one, can reject. So why BN/Umno's recommendations are okay but a mere suggestion by MB Khalid leads to a protest?Why the double standard?

Elsie Goh Siew Khim: First of all, I salute the Mentri Besar of Selangor, Khalid Ibrahim for suggesting to meet the student representatives of UiTM to discuss their discontentment in opening up the university to non-bumiputeras.

I think this is the way to go when there are issues need to be raised instead shouting and ranting racial slurs as witnessed at the recent Bar Council forum.

But what really trouble me as a non-bumiputera is that the students of UiTM think that the university belongs to bumiputeras only.

Are they not aware that their education, activities, programmes and everything about the university are funded by revenues from taxpayers including myself. This is a university for all Malaysians.

Why I am troubled is because Umno for the past 50 years has been employing the Ketuanan Melayu strategy to brainwash and trick the bumiputeras into believing and accepting them and this has borne fruit.

We have intellectuals from this university who still hold on to this Ketuanan concept.

Cookie Monster: I find it hilarious that the government has ‘designed' a programme such as the National Service to encourage integration amongst the races, and yet at the same time makes such brainless statements such as those against the Selangor MB for ‘betraying his race' merely for his suggestion that UiTM be opened to non-Malays.

Is intergration only selectively important in some institutions and not others? Who are we kidding here?As an exercise in integration, the NS experience cannot hope to even come close to the experience of studying with people of other races, something that our Selangor MB understands.

Why then is this concept so difficult for our dear prime minister to grasp? Its time to move out, dear sir, before you betray us Malaysians any further.
