Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) will be taking action against a lecturer who berated a student for not being able to afford a laptop, in a viral video circulating on social media.

The video is believed to have been taken during an online class in the previous semester.

UiTM vice-chancellor Roziah Mohd Janor said that the university is investigating the contract lecturer in question and disciplinary action will be taken against her.
