Noraishah also listed several alleged misacts by Abdul Rahim Hashim including failure to ensure safety at the university as seen by during a fire at the economics faculty in August as well as numerous cases of robberies on campus and failure to promote racial tolerance and unity among the many diverse ethnic groups in the university by engaging in the organisation of the Malay Dignity Congress.
“UM must act now to prevent further tensions developing amongst increasingly racially charged student groups before the situation escalates,” she said. Both graduates were against alleged racist elements in Abdul Rahim’s speech during the Malay Dignity Congress in which the latter purportedly claimed last year’s change in government had eliminated Malay political dominance.

Both sides ada hak utk freedom of speech, cannot be just for you. He was teaching us all that continuing producing 'yes sir' generation is not an option.
