THE Malaysian Academic Movement or Pergerakan Tenaga Akademik Malaysia (Gerak) is grateful and reassured that Educa­tion Minister Dr Maszlee Malik has issued a public statement condemning academic cheating and intellectual theft in our universities. We in Gerak feel vindicated because we have been aware of these wrongdoings for quite some time and had even approached the ministry about this scandal.

Gerak member Prof Syed Farid Alattas, who was quoted on this by numerous sources recently, had even presented a paper on these offences in one of our “Reclaiming Malaysian Higher Education” seminars and talks in 2018.
