Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced the repeal of the Universities and University Colleges Act (AUKU) during his PKR Annual National Congress speech, despite ongoing dissatisfaction from certain groups. The government aims to grant students greater freedom and flexibility by scrapping the legislation. Anwar, the PKR President, highlighted that amendments to the AUKU had been made, but the decision to repeal it remains due to persistent discontent.
In response to concerns about Felda, Anwar pledged to continue investigating issues surrounding the Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA) after concluding its probe into the Tabung Haji (TH) Board matter. The Sultan of Perak, Sultan Ibrahim, emphasized the importance of maintaining the investigation beyond the TH issue, as he deemed it crucial to ensure accountability for institutions owned by the people.
The prime minister clarified that any punitive measures would await conclusive evidence before being taken. He also addressed criticisms surrounding the government's handling of enforcement actions, which have been deemed either as signs of desperation or a failure to address issues adequately. Anwar stressed the government's commitment to a stricter process and more rigorous actions moving forward.
