Student leaders all out for party-free campus elections

Three student leaders from public universities welcomed Education Minister Maszlee Malik's statement on allowing campus elections that are free from any influential political parties or individuals.

Among the reforms are plans to abolish legal provisions that bar students from being politically active, as well as empowering students to carry out campus elections themselves without intervention from university administrations. Meanwhile, Universiti Putra Malaysia student leader Mohammad Izzudin Rosli said the concept of a party-free campus election can ensure that contestants were not compromised by any party from outside, regardless of government or opposition parties.

Mohamed said that it was time for campus elections to serve as a platform for students to abandon the subservient culture.
