Fact-checking Maszlee on UMT-UniSZA merger

EDUCATION Minister Maszlee Malik in an interview published by The Star Online on the possible merger of two east coast universities has made some serious allegations that are out of character with his background as a former academic.

Secondly, Maszlee stated that another reason for the merger is because both UniSZA and UMT share similar degree programs and courses. This is a futile point indeed because almost all universities everywhere share similar courses which are available in UniSZA or UMT, but it does not mean that they should merge.

Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange Unesco also nominated the university as a regional training centre for the Asia-Pacific region under the Ocean Teacher Global Academy. UMT’s marine data management systems in its INOS institute is recognised as the only associate data unit under the IODE which is nationally accredited.

Firstly, one would think that helping each university build on its own niche and strengths as separate entities would serve the purpose better than diluting these distinguishing identities in the wake of a merger. There will definitely be forces within the newly merged university to wrestle opportunities and funds to focus on their own specialisations, thus causing a chaotic loss of identity.

The second part of the statement is also false because the protests are not happening because of a supposedly untimely announcement. Even if the announcement happened as planned, you would be seeing the same reaction that is happening now. In other words, people on the ground here are also thinking individuals who are able to assess the situation on their own without the ministry feeding us its narrative.
