Khaled: College considered all options before expelling student

(Bernama) – “The student’s expulsion reflects the stance of the college to refuse to compromise with any action committed by its students, against the law,” he said.

Higher Education minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said the decision by a private college in Cheras to expel the student who had allegedly exposed his buttocks at pictures of the country’s leaders at a pre-Merdeka rally at Dataran Merdeka had considered all options before doing so.

He viewed the decision as appropriate since the action by the individual had tarnished the good name of the institute of higher learning.

“The student’s expulsion reflects the stance of the college to refuse to compromise with any action committed by its students, against the law,” he said.
