According to MARA chairman Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, at least eight students at educational institutions under MARA have alleged they were victims of sexual harassment. In response, Dr Wajdi urged students not to be afraid of reporting misconduct, particularly sexual harassment cases. He also instructed the management to take action, including suspending the staff member involved, to ensure the investigation is not interfered with.

The students have been encouraged to file police reports as the allegations may constitute criminal offenses. Dr Wajdi expressed puzzlement that students felt more comfortable complaining directly to him rather than the management. He emphasized that MARA would not compromise on deviant behavior and would take firm action, including dismissal, against those involved.
