      COMMENT | Why can't we just bury UUCA?

      Zan AzleePublished: Feb 7, 2026 3:27 PM
      COMMENT | Look, I’ve spent a lot of time on university campuses. Maybe it’s because I studied at several universities, local and international, and also have been teaching at a few too for the past 20 plus years.

      In the rest of the world, universities are supposed to be these messy, loud, chaotic experimental labs. They’re where you’re supposed to have bad ideas, better ideas, and eventually, great ideas.

      It’s places where young people, students, discover things and also who they are.

      However, it’s a little bit different here in Malaysia. It feels a little bit restrictive and full of rules and regulations that you have to follow. You always feel like someone is watching and you need to watch what you do and what you say.

      Many students have been complaining about this one... 

      We need students who are politically, socially conscious.
