We have a new movement called 'Generasi Mahathir' or Gen M. It is moving and shaking Malaysia's public universities.

With the war between the forces of Gen M and 'Generasi Hadhari' , we read about "directives". Academicians with free minds are reminded/cautioned/warned not to attend functions and gatherings organised by those whose support the ideology of Gen M.

Must a university be loyal to the ruler of the day or to its creator who still wants to have his say? The universities must make their stand on the issue of allegiance.
