PAS lawmaker criticises vague response on Unisel promotion strategy

A PAS member of parliament has called out what he characterises as a dismissive response to his enquiries about Universiti Selangor's (Unisel) international recruitment efforts. The lawmaker, identified as Shafie, sought clarity on the institution's promotional strategies and the number of students enrolled from China, citing concerns over the university's transparency in these matters.

Shafie's criticism centres on the perceived lack of substantive information provided in response to his parliamentary question. He accused the relevant authority of offering a "lazy" answer that failed to address his specific concerns about the university's approach to attracting and enrolling international scholars.

The exchange highlights ongoing parliamentary scrutiny over the operations and strategic direction of Universiti Selangor, a public higher education institution in Selangor. The dispute underscores tensions between lawmakers and government bodies regarding accountability and detailed disclosure of university management practices.

The incident reflects broader concerns within Malaysia's legislative body about institutional transparency, particularly regarding international student recruitment and the criteria governing admission policies at public universities.
