MP SPEAKS | Among the significant issues related to higher education in the country, apart from the Universities and University Colleges Act (UUCA), which restricted academic and student freedom, is political interference in higher education. The mass appointment of politicians leading the Board of University Directors during the Perikatan Nasional era has made political interference in higher education increasingly concerning.
There may be opinions stating that the same issue happened in the short period of Pakatan Harapan rule, which is not valid. Harapan’s efforts to make systemic changes through legislation to eliminate the culture of political interference are distinct. In this article, I will share the strenuous efforts of the Education Ministry (MOE) during the Harapan era to minimise political interference through the re-establishment of the National Council of Higher Education (NCHE) in 2019 and were aborted by the change in the federal government.
