ALOR GAJAH: Universities should not take disciplinary action against students for holding differing political views and beliefs, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said.
He said such differences should be welcomed, provided they did not touch on issues involving religion, royalty and race (3R).
"If students simply hold differing opinions and express their views, I believe those views should be welcomed rather than having legal action taken against them, unless they touch on 3R issues.
"The country's laws are very clear on such matters. Apart from that, universities should not take disciplinary action against students simply because they hold differing opinions and political beliefs," he said.
