KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 16 — Maszlee Malik appointed at least 26 university officials with Islamist leanings and who were aligned with him and Perlis Mufti Datuk Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin prior to his resignation as education minister, a news portal has alleged.

Asia Sentinel reported that an unnamed former vice-chancellor provided a list of appointees said to be aligned to the two figures.

“According to a former vice-chancellor who pointed out a list of at least 26 newly appointed vice chancellors and deputy vice chancellors, these appointments were not made on merit but rather on the basis of loyalty to Maszlee and Salafi preacher and Perlis Mufti – Muslim legal expert — Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin,” the report said.

The Salafi movement is seen as revivalist crusade within Sunni Islam that emerged in Egypt in the late 19th century as a response to Western European imperialism.

Maszlee abruptly resigned as education minister on January 2. Speculation followed that the Simpang Renggam MP was forced out over a slew of issues, including the allegation of active proselytisation.

He has also been linked to Ikram, said to be a Muslim evangelist group.

The Asia Sentinel report claimed Maszlee would have made more of such appointments had he remained in the post. The portal quoted the former vice-chancellor as saying that Ikram members would have dominated the list. It also claimed Salafists have infiltrated Ikram.

“Although Ikram has a respectable reputation within the Malaysian community, the leadership has been infiltrated by Salafi sympathisers pushing fringe ideas of Islam,” the portal said.

Maszlee did not deny links with Ikram but dismissed claims he was carrying out the group’s agenda. The former education minister also insisted that he is committed to diversity amid allegations of proselytisation.

But Asia Sentinel reported that Maszlee’s tenure was marked by an “insular outlook to education” and “dedicated to implementing an agenda that would hinder any diverse outlook from educational perspectives.”

The portal cited the controversy surrounding Universiti Malaysia Perlis Vice-Chancellor, Ahmad Badlishah, over the controversial exam questions that caused outrage and calls for his resignation across the nation.

“The multiple-choice question in the university’s Ethnic Relations paper claimed Zakir Naik, a controversial Islamic preacher and fugitive from India on charges of money laundering, is an Islamic icon and spreading true Islam,” the portal noted.

Maszlee also appointed Mohd Saleh Jaafar deputy director-general of Higher Education (Private Institution) and Gauth Jasmon as chairman of the Universiti Putra Malaysia Board of Directors, the report said.

All were reported as loyal to the Ikram leadership.

DRMAZA is a salafi? Hahaha.. Cool story that.

What's wrong with Salafis?

Time to clean house and throw away the garbage for CNY

let_them_fight.gif

Macamlah ministry lain appoint based on merit 😒

sial

Is this portal implying the UniMAP VC appointment was based on loyalty, not merit? Rubbish tinfoil hat conspiracy. How the hell does this make the news.

perhaps thats the actual reason why he was dismissed from his post. Obviously something smelled fishy when so many recruitments related to key posts approved by him after he taken over.

need more sos
this is pretty serious allegation

so? didnt see that as an issue

those local Unis should focus on islamic studies better

leave education and economy to others who are interested in then

sapa yang tak boleh rilek ni?

Islamization.

Thanos don’t like islamization. Masili is middle east educated. Of course he will try to make the education system as islamic as possible and thanos don’t like that.

He did appear moderate though and thoughtful

Patut-la, a lot of idiots leftover.

This i agree. I think we should appoint non malay, non chinese and non muslim as our education minister.

Goes backward probably.

Well, what do you guys expect when the source came from former vice-chancellor? it's no-brainer.

I thought we want drastic reformation in education, well then expect drastic restructuring-lah. when he's not doing it then saying he not doing work pulak. lol

Yeah right. Ain’t gonna fall for that

No wonder so many shitty decision during his tenure. From white shoe become black shoe. Luckily he already resign probably every school children need to wear burqa in the future.

could someone posted list of all newly appointed VC under maszlee let us see the credential of these people?
if not then its nothing but weightless accusation.

So basically we had our own Isis terrorists brewing in our ministry.


I think making him resign was too lenient. Really need to send the fella to lockup for trying to Isis-fy the country.

Very hard to prove by looking at credentials. Because you don’t simply appoint any tom dick or harry to become VC. All those VC comes with outstanding CVs. It’s not like how you appoint chairman/ceo in GLCs.

You have to do research on their extra curricular activity for you to link with anything.

Sendiri yang appoint sendiri pulak yang komplain, topkek/kek.

That basically making education backward

Afterlife is all that matters.

#donedakwah

Iron lady Rafidah Aziz FTW!

fuyyo tajuk

https://www.asiasentinel.com/society/islami...gher-education/

The whole country/government need to be

Saddeq from same uni also not act like him
Except they gave kuda similar

Many ppl have accused him of Islamist-leading, a Salafist n has hidden agenda from Day 1. Apparently it’s true

sakdik is a religious scholar background ke?

those 2 totally different.

Topkek macamlah the whole country appoint anything based on merit. I respect you bro for at least having the intelligence to see this. I am not saying this as a Chinese but as a Malaysian.

hahahaha...trying to pin all on maszlee....btw all other ministry also appoint own gang also..

Sarawak/Sabah Bumiputera? They exists yknow

SOP

Under instructions from Thanos?

I would do the same in any organization too spread my influence and power and control....

S. O. P

No wonder questions like this is ok in university

Asia Sentinel... hehe garbage rumour mongerers, to stroke the Islamophobia of libertads

the recently appointed VC all have excellent CVs, take Prof Gauth (not VC but chairman) -> it is his effort that UM rose through the ranking as of now. To those who work with him,know his no nonsense approach and dedication to academic excellence from his time in UM and MMU

'ini suma kongspirasi berniat jahat utk menjatuhkan & mengaibkan nama saiya.'

This.

And that Taufiq Yap UMS VC bukan calang2 orang juga.

Exactly. Many of them are really renowned person in the fields. Sesuka hati tuduh extremist pulak.

You can take away UMNO member to Bersatu, but you cannot take away umno on them.
Bersatu = UMNO.

So its either that IKRAM is capable to gather all the renowned person under one umbrella or this anonymous VC have hidden agenda.

wow jahatnya news title. so racist, so islamophobe.

Incoming public decapitation on campus area.

U can ask any lecturer how dirty the politic in the university. Thus anonymous VC just butthurt that his contract not being extend and thats that. That why wanna purge and hope he get the change to hold vc post again.

Fyi all the top post are contract in nature.

hahahaha...now even anonymous source also can be publish without evidence or anything...it just our journalism is shit and people easily bait...worse even politician also get bait

IKRAM is alien among /k since they rarely appear in media spotlight (read: rarely done any headline-worthy).

dont forget this guy from UMNO also...next PM

so the whole higher edu need to burn to the ground? like how captain america treated shield

BTW the author of the article Murray contract was not renewed by unimap as he did not performed and unable to achieve kpi assigned

then butthurt contract not renewed, try to play victim and religion card

macam biasa la libtard

Maszlee was never a good candidate for a huge ministry like moe. He was just a lecturer

Malaysian education is based on religion no?

Hang tuah suspect cine straight scrap him out of history book to save face

Putting shit incompetent ppl in important roles...that’s the hallmark of Malaysia

Ha ha should rename buku sejarah as adventure of harry potter.

how about cross check with ikram or similar org membership list pula

Education should be free of religion

Remove all these appointment before they did any damage to our education system

Time to clear those trash down the toilet

You are 50 years too late lol, damage has already been done and it's in critical condition.

Time to clear those trash down the toilet

This guy is forced out by umno and then form own party. Same like Tun M.

and have UMNO mentality in living and governing

I just cannot brained you guys keep praising AP Queen. Just because they anti NAJIS not necessary are above board.

Yes same scumno scumbags DNA. We cannot only hope not as bad.

Fuhhh masleee masleee
