Stay cool, students at UPM advised
PETALING JAYA: Universiti Putra Malaysia has described the bullying incident at its canteen on Monday as “a very unfortunate incident.”
“All the students should stay cool,'' said its academic and international affairs deputy vice-chancellor Prof Dr Radin Umar Radin Soladi.
“We are very concerned with what happened.”
He added that the student affairs department was investigating the matter.
“The whole sequence and all aspects of the incident will be looked at before anyone is reprimanded,'' he said.
Prof Radin said the students could have discussed the problem with mutual respect.
“I was made to understand that a number of boys involved had just finished a rugby game and were probably pumped up because of this,” he said.
Prof Radin added that from an academic point of view, there would be greater focus on teaching students soft skills such as having mutual respect for one another.
