Jangan tipu le..dengan berita menyokong sebelah pihak!!!

Stupid decisions like this brings UM into more disrepute. It's already in the doldrums. Activist, go get free legal services, apply for a writ of madamus and compel them to issue your degree. Overseas academics and students are shocked with shallow UM thinking.

Petty officials, if you do not engage with students and ignore any complaints/issues they might have any force them to take drastic action, whonis at fault here.Certainly does not justify withholding his degree, totally disproportionate and unjustified on any level
