IT was with a mixture of sadness and disbelief that I read the letter by Azidi of Seremban on Jan 9 (“Experience would yield better responses” The Star; online at bit.ly/star_azidi).
In his letter, he referred to Prof Dr Mohd Tajuddin Mohd Rasdi’s Over the Top column (bit.ly/star_top) in The Star in which the professor lamented the fact that university students he interviewed were unable to answer four simple questions: What book they had read that had changed their lives, what books they would read to improve themselves, what lessons they had learnt from cultures or faiths other than their own, and what they would ask if they could interview the Prime Minister or vice-chancellor. The columnist also wondered why the students would be in awe of people like the PM and vice-chancellor.
