  "account": "Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) has dismissed claims that Nur Fitri Azmeer Nordin, a convicted child pornography offender, is currently a staff member. The university clarified that Nur Fitri was a former student who completed his doctorate in 2021, and not an employee. UKM emphasized its commitment to maintaining a professional and conducive environment for all students. The institution previously defended Nur Fitri's reinstatement in 2019, stating that he had served his sentence and deserved a second chance.",
  "summary": "The university says Nur Fitri Azmeer Nordin was merely a postgraduate student who completed his PhD in 2021.",
