Dear Dr Shafie,

I write in reference to the malaysiakini report on your response to the refusal of my wife and I to sign the Akujanji.

I had expected this to come officially from Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) nine months ago.

As a leader of a non-political sector, you cannot let your political experience interfere with the decision-making process, whatever the hidden/embedded argument for national development might be.
