Beh Lih Yi November 17, 2008
Former Universiti Malaya vice-chancellor Rafiah Salim has alleged gender bias by the government towards local academicians amidst the controversy of her not being re-appointed to the post.
The first woman to head a public university in the country, Rafiah’s contract was not renewed recently and she was informed on the decision merely 48 hours before the expiry of her term.
She was appointed in May 2006.
“Just because we are women and we don’t have that thing between the legs so we are not good,” she told Malaysiakini in an one-hour interview today held at her new office at UM.
Former vice-chancellors of UM, the country’s oldest public university, are often granted an office premise to conduct research and development.Details -- click HERE.

Nik Aziz bidas pengkid
KOTA BHARU – Mursyidul Am Pas, Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat semalam mencabar sesiapa yang melawan fatwa yang dikeluarkan Majlis Kebangsaan Fatwa berhubung pengharaman perlakuan wanita menyerupai lelaki atau ‘pengkid’. “Majlis Fatwa keluarkan hukum berlandaskan al-Quran dan hadis. Al-Quran itu datang daripada Allah. Allah yang cipta manusia dan alam. Dia tentukan hukum untuk manusia. “Siapa kita sampai nak lawan dia (Allah). Handal sangatkah kita nak lawan Allah?” katanya kepada pemberita ketika mengulas terdapatnya NGO bukan Islam mempertikaikan keputusan Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan yang mengharamkan penampilan wanita menyamai lelaki atau ‘pengkid’. Terdahulu beliau menyempurnakan perasmian pembukaan Restoran London Fish Tales di sini semalam. Menteri Besar Kelantan itu juga memberi peringatan kepada NGO bukan Islam supaya tidak campur tangan terhadap urusan fatwa yang dikeluarkan itu kerana ia dikeluarkan berasaskan al-Quran dan hadis.Details >> HERE
