Very much to my surprise the topic is indeed my favorite. However I admit some of the points written are borrowed from other people's thought. There are some grammatical error and subjected to be corrected.
1. If we were asked what the most peculiar problem in our university is, definitely the answer would be the Akta Universiti Kolej Universiti 1970 (also known as UUCA 1970). Is it so?
2. Admittedly this policy has brought many virulent attacks because some Malays politicians think it has eroded the integrity of university.
3. When the policy began to show some results esp in producing hundreds of thousand professional, the opposition of the Government began to question the appointment of staff and lecturer in the university. Whoever succeeded to become vice-chancellor, dean, and professor, did so because they were chosen favourites of the Government, particularly the ruling party namely UMNO.
4. They were all labeled corrupted people i.e. not integrity.
5. It is not the actual relation or association with the Government that qualifies one to be the vice-chancellor, professor, or dean of the university. It is the capabilities of the individual.
6. Somehow it is strange to see people always think integrity is about getting the right people for the job. But at the same time they fiercely demand their own people to be appointed- simply because they’re not associated with the Government.
7. Let us be reminded that our university was never aspire to be the most integrity university in the world. And when we did things which did not seem to be in keeping with integrity line it is mainly because we did not promise to be like that.
8. We had often enough said that the purpose of higher education in Malaysia is to reduce the gap between Malays and non-Malays. We want to correct the imbalance.
9. Prior to seventies, very few Malays who graduate from university. Even worse, Malays student always like to take part in street demonstration almost every day and every time. Admittedly these are the learning process of democracy i.e. speakers corner, demonstration, petition, debate, massive rally etc etc. But at what costs?
10. That is why the Government chose to introduce AUKU and impose the policy amongst students, lecturers and staffs. And it must succeed at all costs.
11. As the Government cannot rely the policy being ruined by the anti-AUKU officers, the few pro-government people were appointed, promoted and selected to various post in universities.
12. Maybe they are not the best people we had. But they are the right people to implement the policy. And the rest as they say is history.
13. The number of successful Malays graduates slowly increased. Angry that the AUKU had actually succeeded in throwing up Malays graduate and reducing racial imbalances, the Western press and local opponents of the AUKU began to label all the appointed officer/staff as corrupted people. They were deemed as not having integrity.
14. It would seem that the only way to avoid being accused of corruption is to ensure that all officers are selected from opposition. Better still the AUKU should be made to fail completely.
15. The continuing disparities between the Malays and the non-Malays which these will cause would then produce inter-racial tension and political instability. Then the Western journalists can say that these "natives" really should not be given education. Look at the mess they are making of their university and the country.
16. It must be very annoying to the know-all Western journalists that they have been proved constantly wrong about AUKU. In 1970, few Malays had university education. There were only a handful of Malay professionals. But after few decades and billions of ringgit have been poured, the results of all these efforts are very satisfying. Thousands of Malay boys and girls from poor village families gained access to better education and eventually obtained university degrees in various professions and fields of knowledge.
17. Many went on to study for post-graduate degrees and doctorates. They now work as professors in universities, as specialists in various fields of medicine, as scientists, engineers, architects, veterinarians, agriculturists etc. They have not been left behind by the advances in new knowledge such as information technology, telecommunications and space science.
18. They have also gone into management, obtaining MBAs from well known universities such as Harvard and Philadelphia. Armed with these qualifications they have been employed as management executives at all levels. Some actually head multinational companies.
19. Imagine the situation where the students, despite being sponsored by tax-payers money are so busy with politics.
20. Think again whether the AUKU simply producing corrupted officers/staff.
21. Think of what would be the situation in Malaysia today without the AUKU.
22. Think of what would be the situation in Malaysia Universities without all the officers and staffs.
