PM Anwar Ibrahim says the government will give university students the widest space to voice views, including criticising the PM, within legal limits.
KUALA LUMPUR: The government is prepared to give university students the widest possible space to voice their views and criticisms freely, including criticising the Prime Minister.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said this was acceptable as long as it did not overstep legal boundaries or involve elements of violence.
To that end, he said the bill to amend the Universities and University Colleges Act 1971 (AUKU), to abolish rules that restrict students’ freedom of expression, will be tabled in Parliament within one to two weeks.
