PETALING JAYA, May 28 - Professors can use their expertise and knowledge to give their views and recommendations involving national issues said Higher Education minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.
Mohamed Khaled said as a component that represents the people, they (professors) can offer their ideas, views and recommendations on the New Economic Model (NEM), tax on goods and products, goods and service tax (GST) and subsidy.
"In this aspect, those with expertise and knowledge cannot remain silent.
The government certainly wants to hear their views based on their knowledge, observation and experience,” he said after opening the National Professors Council meeting here today.
Through the council that was launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak last month, Mohamed Khaled said all 14 clusters initiated, among them Economy and Finance, Law and Public Administration well as Industry and Innovation, would play a role according to their expertise.
He added that the direction and approach taken by the council that represents 1,426 professors at all the public higher learning institutions in the country, would depend on the council itself. - Bernama
