The Star Online reports that Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim has welcomed Universiti Teknologi Mara’s (UiTM) decision to take legal action against him over his statement calling for 10% of the varsity’s intake be opened to non-bumiputras.
Khalid said he welcomed the suit announced by UiTM Vice-Chancellor Prof Datuk Seri Dr Ibrahim Abu Shah last Saturday as it would provide an opportunity for the truth behind the statement to be highlighted to the people.
“I feel the Malays and Malaysians as a whole are more matured and they know that such efforts (to open the intake to the non-bumiputras) are needed as we head towards globalisation. The openness in education is necessary to raise the skills of each member of the workforce in Malaysia as a means to ensure the country can effectively compete with other nations,” he said.
Khalid had on Aug 9 asked for UiTM to open 10% of its intake to the other races to raise the level of integration, competitiveness and the quality of graduates.

But be warned that Singapore and the rest of world will grab these brains when they graduate from the National University of Singapore (which is ranked in the Global Top 50 Universities) and pay them minimum 5 times the salary that Malaysia pays. Be further warned that they will also be offered permanent resident status and, even, citizenship. Also watch out that they may have to pay the price of becoming kiasu and kiasi.

Hats off to MB Selangor who ask UITM to institute legal proceedings against him. Well, the ball is now at UITM's hands. We will see whether action will be taken. The rakyat is waiting very much eagerly.
They can keep UiTM. Non-Malays are not keen to send their children to institutes which are insular in their thinking. This is the reason non-Malays (and the more forward thinking Malays) when they can afford to, opt to send our children to private schools and private institutions of higher learning.
The only reason that UiTM wants to keep its doors closed to non-Malays is that it is a bootcamp for KKK and Nazis. This is the breeding ground for the next generation of UMNO racist voters and members. Like Kerismudin and Kera Jantan, their attributes are considered virtues and must be passed down to the next generation. The lecturers are conducting "courses" on the ills of other races and Malay Supremacy rights.
Instead of allowing UiTM, we must closed down this uni boot camp and sell if off as a warehouse or sthg.
