00:00
A student group has slammed the Higher Education Ministry over its silence on sexual harassment
00:06
allegations against a university Malaya professor who allegedly shared nude pictures of himself
00:12
with students.
00:13
UM Feminism Club President Chin Jes Wang also claimed that certain UM student groups had
00:19
mostly remained silent when the alleged victims needed support, contrary to their promises
00:24
of combating sexual harassment during the campus elections.
00:28
Chin and UM Gender Studies Master's graduate S. Indra Malar also presented a memorandum
00:34
which is supported by 27 NGO representatives like the Women's Aid Organization and Swara
00:39
Rakyat Malaysia to UM's Integrity Unit Head.
00:42
Their demands include an immediate suspension of the professor pending an investigation
00:47
for the allegations to be investigated thoroughly and for reforms to UM's sexual harassment
00:52
policies.
00:53
On December 18th, UM confirmed receiving a report on the allegations against the professor
00:58
but declined to comment on the case as it had been referred to the authorities for investigation.
01:04
Indra Malar claimed that this was not an isolated incident, saying a small-scale survey by UMFC
01:09
found that one in five students at the university had experienced sexual harassment.
01:14
She also called for the establishment of an independent sexual harassment office or ombudsman
01:19
within the university to ensure impartiality in handling complaints.
