Amendments tabled to allow students into politics



Legislative amendments were tabled in the Dewan Rakyat today, to allow tertiary-level students the freedom to participate in political activities.

azlanThe amendment to Section 15 of the Universities and University Colleges Act 1971 (UUCA) will allow students to sign up for membership in any political party.

Three Bills were tabled for the first reading today: the UUCA (Amendment) Act 2012, the Private Higher Educational Institutions (Amendment) Act 2012 and the Educational Institutions (Discipline) (Amendment) Act 2012.
