The Christian Federation of Malaysia (CFM) supports academic freedom at public universities like Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM). However, CFM believes a recent seminar at UiTM was an abuse of trust and stewardship. The seminar presented one-sided information without allowing for rebuttal or an intellectual exchange of ideas. By not allowing for discussion or challenge of the information presented, the seminar amounted to hate speech and religious propaganda rather than true academic freedom. This diminishes scholarly integrity and honesty and damages the reputation of the public university.
