LETTER | There needs to be an overhaul of leadership in public universities

It cites safety and accessibility issues that make the idea impractical. 

He clarifies that he had only said that they need to follow procedures in doing so.

This is because not all schools contain or are located near public pools, minister says.

Maszlee: This is in line with gov't effort to empower Islamic education.

PARLIAMENT | 'I have answered this issue many times and the circular also states that.'

He calls the BN initiative a 'scandalous' one as even the former minister did not know why it failed to be distributed.

Land and autonomy matters, among others, need to be taken into account, says Penang DCM P Ramasamy.

UPDATED 4:05PM | But first lodge a report, he says, or the ministry will be powerless to act.

No witch hunt, minister stresses, just taxpayers deserving to know where their money went.

Minister says his potential replacements are internationally known but not politicians.

This in preparation for the flood season, says education minister.  

Minister says he would do so after the ongoing convocation ceremony and appointment of a successor.  

'This is the decision of the government and the party,' says Bersatu president.

The education minister also points out that it was made after obtaining approval of the highest authority.

'At a wedding, you come as party crashers and ask when are you going to get divorced?'

This after an aide to Maszlee confirms the minister has agreed to resign as soon as a replacement is sought.

The ministry will table several bills to amend laws involving institutions of higher learning next month.

UPDATED 7PM | It is said that the minister will step down after finding a replacement for the post.
