Meeting of Academic Assocs with Minister

What can I say? I was only there for a short while yesterday but came back today to see if there's any new dev.Yesterday there were some 'shoutings' and bickerings over why we are doing this again and again (org dah fedup old issues are being raised again).Omar said he had raised almost similar issues with 9 different Ministers of Education but do we see any change.In the end he concluded that MOHE does not care cos' even teachers, police force, nurses have better deals than academics cos' their ministries fought for them.

And what's this move to sideline GERAK? (by creating a new body as the only official body which MOHE will lisaise with).Pulak tu macam2 conditions who should be in the Majlis.Ada ke pulak begitu?

Anyway, we voted Rosli as Prez (he's also orang kuat GERAK).But I think we should not be too bothered by names/labels.Yang penting whoever voted in must fight for the welfare of academics.I think we ought to work hand in hand with MOHE and MOHE janganlah pulak buat lip service je (sementara tunggu next election).

I'm happy Prof Raduan is Dato Khaled's special officer.
