UiTM students protest against suggestion to open doors to non-Bumis
About 5,000 students from the Permatang Pauh campus of Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) held a peaceful protest against the suggestion by Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim that the university open its doors to non-bumiputeras.
They dispersed after the head of the students’ representative council, Mohd Faizal Zainol, handed over a memorandum to the deputy director of the academic division, Dr Mohd Abdullah Hemdi.
Mohd Abdullah told reporters the memorandum will be handed over to the university’s vice-chancellor Prof Datuk Seri Ibrahim Abu Shah to be handed over to Abdul Khalid.
“If Abdul Khalid does not retract his statement all UiTM students will have a huge gathering in Shah Alam. We hope the issue of a non-bumiputera quota is not discussed again. We regret that Abdul Khalid has not upheld his race’s rights,” Mohd Faizol said.
Students at the main campus at Shah Alam, Selangor and at the Machang, Kelantan campus held theirs on Wednesday.
In KUALA PILAH, 300 students of the Negeri Sembilan campus gathered in protest. A memorandum was handed over to the head of the students and alumni department, Ahmad Nawir Abu Amrin.
In KOTA KINABALU, about 2,000 students of the Sabah campus gathered in protest and also handed over a memorandum.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi had said that Abdul Khalid had no authority on the quota of UiTm students while Ibrahim said Abdul khalid’s statement implied that the university lacked in quality whereas records showed otherwise.

Bloody racists.
Can't wait to get out of this fucking country.
then i think non bumis shd not work in msia to contribute their intelectual property then lets see the fun ! in other countries if this happens i dont know ler... wonder why allwe do is keep quiet and accept. indons hv more rights then non bumis whos families been there b4 merdeka. sad sad .
just my 2 cents. good blog but just all the issues are very sensitive. which is good and bad. maybe u should emmm without the cursing and F =) so that the other race dont get it the wrong way.
maybe because we are young. we forgot about the history. about what is written in the perlembagaan in order to give our incestors the right to live here and become malaysian. this is a very sensitive issue as most of the origin are still narrow minded. so we need to understand this before saying something like aphartheid or racist.
i believe one day instead of malays, chinese, indians we can be malaysian. but hell maybe not for 100 years. this is a long process.
please dont compare to indonesia. if u ask me i rather be here. and do u see them speaking chinese. no they speaks indonesians. and a lot of chinese and indian in malaysia cant speak proper malays.
and who is the richer race in malaysia? most of the poor family are malays isnt it.
just because most of the malays are leaders and getting the quota and the good stuff, dont blame malays. just because some muslim are narrow minded dont blame islam.
still good blog tho =)
