UiTM Protest Washington Movie

Shah Alam, Thursday - About 2000 UiTM students today gathered in front of a local cinema to protest the screening of the Denzel Washington movie "The Great Debaters". The students were unhappy with the movie's central theme of Racial Equality in Education, claiming it could lead to more support for Selangor MB Khalid Ibrahim's proposal to open up UiTM to non-Malays.
When contacted, UiTM's vice-chancellor Datuk Seri Prof Dr Ibrahim Abu Shah (pix below) said that he fully supported the

students' actions.

"If the goal of the non-Malays is equality, the we must create a wall of resistance to defend against the Selangor MB's free-kick of injustice," he said, while striking a "defending-against-a-free-kick" pose.
"And if the referee, you know, macam...the thing...you know?" he added, apparently fumbling in an attempt to continue with the football metaphors.
