The Higher Education Ministry in Malaysia is reviewing inconsistent disciplinary rules across public universities to ensure students enjoy equal freedom of expression and association, according to the Dewan Rakyat. Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Zambry Abdul Kadir stated that regulations vary between institutions, with certain activities and forms of criticism permitted at some universities but restricted at others.
Zambry emphasized that these discrepancies need to be addressed as the government moves towards repealing the Universities and University Colleges Act 1971 (Auku) and introducing a new higher education law.
