UiTM student council sorry for protest ‘misunderstanding’

PETALING JAYA: The student representative council of Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) has apologised for causing a “misunderstanding” by its recent protest against calls to admit non-Bumiputera students to its cardiothoracic surgery postgraduate programme.
The group said its May 14 press statement announcing the protest, where it urged all students to wear black as a sign of solidarity, was “a little confusing as we did not explain the actual chronology of this case”.
It added that there was some misunderstanding over its statement as the council’s interpretation of Article 153 of the Federal Constitution was “not explained thoroughly”.
