Fracas Not Racially Motivated

The Fracas at UPM is not racially motivated. It just so happen to involved to group of unique races of students each representing their own breed.

According to Higher Education Minister, Datuk Mustapa Mohamed, THE fracas at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) last month was not racially motivated.

The trouble started when a non-registered student association, the UPM Student Progressive Front, set up a booth at one of the university’s colleges.

It also put up posters on the college cafetaria walls and distributed about 200 brochures, causing unhappiness among those belonging to registered student associations.

As a result, there was a harsh exchange of words which led to a fracas, Mustapa said in reply to a question by Karpal Singh (DAP-Gelugor).

Mustapa said the online media had blown the incident out of proportion, calling it a racial conflict between a group of Chinese and Malay students.

Mustapa is behaving like its UPM thugs. Some things will never change and this is precisely why our universities are kept out of the even the Top 1500.

good one, what a lulu.

no matter what - even if the SPF is illegal and putting up posters, distributing flyers around and so on - there is no reason for that group of monkeys to behave as they did. they could have told them (SPF) nicely not to do what they were doing and not resort to samseng tactis instead to do that.
