Johor Sultan urges students not to take part in illegal rallies

BATU PAHAT: Sultan of Johor Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar has advised students and graduates not to be involved in illegal rallies that can threaten national stability.

Sultan Ibrahim, who is Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) chancellor, said they should be grateful for the chance to garner knowledge instead of taking part in anti-government political activities.

“I will not hesitate to resign as the chancellor of UTHM should any of our students be involved in such activities, as it is better than having my name tainted by such acts that also shames the university’s reputation,” he said when officiating at UTHM’s 11th convocation on Saturday.

 

A total of 2,245 graduates received their scrolls at the convocation – nine for PhD, 164 Master’s degrees and 1,832 Bachelor’s degrees.

Sultan Ibrahim also said the other issue highlighted in the media was female students getting involved in immoral activities to get rich quickly.
