vcMONDAY, 22 SEPTEMBER – Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) never prohibit or prevent its students from expressing their views and intentions.

Hence, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Datuk Dr. Mohd. Harun Abdullah vehemently denied when a university official in a local newspaper recently alledged that 100 students have been dismissed for being vocal in speaking their views and struggles.

“The university has always been open to hear any complaints or concerns raised by students. We also encourage students to debate through public lecture that is beneficial, to improve their soft-skills,” he further added.

Describing the allegations as baseless and more of a sabotage, Datuk Harun said any issues and problems involving students will be tried by the Law and Discipline Division of UMS and the university will not dismiss its students indiscriminately.

“I regret the statement by the officer and I believe he or she has his or her own agenda. This statement is not relevant and I am extremely embarrassed if the said officer who declined to be named is a staff of UMS who proudly utter such seditious and anti-unity statement,” he stressed.

Datuk Harun however did not rule out the possibility that there were students who had committed offence and referred through AUKU and had since received their sentence after hearing.

“The sentence is in the form of semester suspension or suspension in staying in the residential college, and not dismissed from the university. We convict them according to AUKU, its rules and regulations stated in UMS after they were proven to be guilty. But it is not the final decision because we will give them chance to appeal,” he said, describing the sentence as UMS’ effort to raise awareness and consciousness.

He also said that the perpetrator would be investigated as it was seen to be an attempt to discredit the university. – SS (fl)

ShireenFRIDAY, 19 SEPT – More than 200 Visual Arts students from Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) Faculty of Humanities, Arts and Heritage (FKSW) presents to listen to an art historian, Shireen Naziree’s lecture.

The programme, held at FKSW Ahmad Nisfu Theatrette, is in conjunction with Galeri Petronas Kuala Lumpur’s ‘Pertumpuan: Senusa Sejiwa’ exhibition held at Sabah Art Gallery, and co-organised by UMS. The visual arts exhibitions start today.

According to Shireen, it is not an easy task to find a gifted artist, with a high quality artwork, even though there are a lot of people becoming artists.

“An artist must have their own signature idea. The idea must keep on expanding, in every piece of work,” she added.  

An artist must have the ability to accept critiques and see the benefits form others point of views on your personal artwork. Having the ability to criticize your own self is a plus.

“Either as a writer or an artist, you must always communicate and ask yourself. And then the answers will be translated to a piece of art,” she said.

Also present, FKSW Deputy Dean, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hj. Baharudin Arus, Prof. Dr. Siti Zainon Ismail and Datin Maimun Pg. Bagul. –ZMD
