A disgrace to USM & PhD programs

K PRAGALATH

Seriously, Siti Mastura Muhammad (PN-Kepala Batas) is a disgrace to Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) and to the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program available in Malaysia.

Earlier today she and her lawyer submitted reference materials that led her to link DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang, DAP chairman Lim Guan Eng, founder of modern Singapore Lee Kuan Yew who she referred to as Lim Kuan Yew to Malayan Communist Party Chin Peng.

She also alleged that Guan Eng’s wife, Betty Chew is a cousin to Teresa Kok.

This is in addition to another allegation that Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming, Transport Minister Anthony Loke are related to Guan Eng.

It is a little perplexing to see Siti Mastura that has no common sense about the Chinese community questioning the police in Bukit Aman about their probe on Guan Eng’s case which clearly is not a case at all.

The DAP chairman who is also Bagan MP got into hot soup over reports that Buddhist and Chinese temples in Penang would be destroyed if Perikatan Nasional was in power in Penang.

He has denied the allegations and it has been supported by the media.

But let’s get back to Siti Mastura’s allegations.

In this current post truth age, it is clear that the reference materials that the first term MP read is a political propaganda material.

Facts and truth are not ingredients for propaganda materials.

Retract her PhD, USM

It is appalling that this lady submitted propaganda materials to the police as her basis to make such allegations.

Since she is from Pas, perhaps it is time for her to reflect on chapter 33 verse 70 of the Quran. The verse in English states: “O believers! Be mindful of Allah, and say what is right.”

By going against the above mentioned verse, doesn’t that actually make her a hypocrite instead of a believer?

On that note, USM should consider retracting the PhD that it conferred to her.

As for the DAP leaders who have filed suits against her, please take a leaf from the Singapore leader and sue her to the point of bankruptcy.

Kepala Batas voters deserve someone who has common sense and ability to determine facts from propaganda.
