  "account": "Mas Fawzi Mohd Ali, UTHM's Deputy Chancellor, emphasised that merely repealing the Universities and University Colleges Act 1971 (Auku) is insufficient; a more comprehensive education reform framework is necessary. He stressed that greater autonomy brings greater responsibility, and students must understand ethics, integrity, law, and the impact of their actions. If Auku were repealed, it should be seen as part of a comprehensive reform, rather than merely an act's abolition. Ensuring a balanced campus culture that combines freedom, bravery, and wisdom is essential.",
