Academic staff and the student unions of Universiti Malaya today asked Sinar Harian columnist and former lecturer Ridhuan Tee Abdullah why his own former students did not defend him when he was questioned under the Sedition Act recently.

Ridhuan recently wrote that those who had marched in solidarity with UM law professor Azmi Sharom, who has been charged under the Act, were practising double standards by not voicing out against his questioning by the police.
