Biased views in inter-racial lectures

AN MCA leader has ticked off several university lecturers for bringing in their personal views during lectures on inter-racial relationship.

China Press quoted MCA Youth chief Datuk Liow Tiong Lai as saying nobody should be allowed to distort the course outline by exploiting racial sentiments among the students.

He said MCA Youth was collecting information on the issue to bring it up to the Higher Education Ministry.

He added that action would be taken against such lecturers for adding in their “interpretation”.

An undergraduate had earlier told Liow that a lecturer has expressed his “extreme views” on racial issues during a lecture.

Among the statements the lecturer made were “The land of Malaysia belongs to the Malays”, “Chinese have trespassed on the Malays’ land” and “Chinese with poor Bahasa Melayu are deemed unpatriotic”.

Liow said MCA had provided input to the relevant ministry before the course’s outline was drawn to ensure that the course conformed with the country’s multi-racial society that recognised the contribution of each race.

He added that the course was meant to promote racial harmony and social stability.

“It is unacceptable for lecturers to hold extreme views. This must be corrected,” he added.

HMMM I AM WONDERING IF THIS LECTURER WILL BE BROUGHT TO THE COURT FOR SEDITIOUS REMARK .... HMMM WILL THIS BE CONSIDERED SEDITIOUS OR WILL THEY SAY I AM CREATING PROBLEM ????
